Identity Meets Entitlements: Key to Hybrid Cloud Security

This 13-minute conference talk from the Threats & Vulnerabilities Summit 2025 explores how identity and entitlements form the foundation of effective hybrid cloud security. Go beyond security acronyms like CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, DSPM, and CNAPP to discover how contextual understanding of security findings across workloads, infrastructure, identities, networks, and sensitive data enables more effective risk prioritization. Nagraj Seshadri from Tenable's Cloud Security Marketing team demonstrates how a unified security platform provides identity-driven visibility and remediation capabilities across complex cloud and hybrid environments. Take away practical knowledge on moving past acronym confusion, understanding security findings in proper context, and implementing unified platforms for effective risk management. The Cloud Security Alliance offers additional resources including their Top Threats to Cloud Computing 2024 Report, research publications, AI Safety Initiative, online training programs, and opportunities to contribute as a research volunteer.
