06-12, 09:20–09:40 (US/Pacific), Salon C

As our world continues to shift from on-premises environments to cloud environments, the impact and nature of vulnerabilities also change.

In this session, we will examine the top vulnerabilities of 2022 and see how they affected the cloud – when might an otherwise critical vulnerability pose minimal risk to cloud environments? What does a critical cloud vulnerability even look like? Through the analysis of cloud, application and OS vulnerabilities, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the factors that make vulnerabilities less or more significant in cloud environments.
