Kevin Greene, CTO Public Sector at OpenText Cybersecurity, emphasized the critical need for increased visibility in cloud security to effectively combat and manage cyber threats. He stressed that with the growing complexity of cloud technologies and the proliferation of software vulnerabilities, organizations must focus on early detection of threat actors’ behavior rather than just reacting to indicators of compromise. Greene also highlighted the importance of secure software development practices and the need for a proactive approach to threat hunting and incident response.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Enhanced visibility into threat actor behavior and early warning signals is crucial for effective cyber defense.
  2. Organizations should prioritize secure software development to reduce vulnerabilities and improve resilience.
  3. Proactive threat hunting and formalized incident response are essential for staying ahead of evolving cyber threats.
