Join Cloud Security Alliance and 7AI on Thursday, January 22 from 5:30-7:00 PM 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
