Practical Realities of Multi-cloud Security

Note: Advance registration required using the registration page here: https://7ai.com/csa-meetup. RSVP on this Meetup will NOT result in registration.

Join Cloud Security Alliance and 7AI for an evening of insights and networking as we tackle one of today's most pressing security challenges: protecting multi-cloud environments when expert resources are scarce.

The Challenge
Multi-cloud adoption is accelerating, but few organizations have dedicated cloud security experts on staff. As attack surfaces expand across AWS, Azure, GCP, and beyond, security teams face critical decisions: Where should you invest your limited internal expertise? What can – or should – you offload? How do you balance native cloud tools with third-party vendors?

The Conversation
Our expert panel will explore the practical realities of multi-cloud security, including:

• Data Security and Compliance – Protecting sensitive data and meeting regulatory requirements in distributed environments
• Native Tools vs. Third-Party Solutions – When to leverage cloud provider capabilities and when to bring in specialized vendors
• Strategic Resource Allocation – Where your team's expertise delivers the most value versus what you can confidently delegate

Featured Panelists

• Lea Cure Thorpe, VP, Cyber Threat Intelligence Manager, Citizens
• Mark-David McLaughlin, Ph.D., Head of Security Architecture and Engineering, InterSystems
• Kyle Bubp, CISO, Avid
• Zack Rohrbach, Security Architect, Quickbase

Moderated by Nathan Burke, CMO, 7AI
