## 💡 Why This Session Works
- Grounded in reality: Highlights how 94% of IT teams face cyberattacks yearly
- Actionable depth: Walks through critical control layers (IAM, SASE, micro-segmentation, etc.)
- Cloud-first guidance: Goes beyond theory with tools like CNAPP & CIEM and new technologies like confidential computing
- Hands-on & collaborative: Design lab fosters peer learning and real-world application
