SANS CloudSecNext Summit Solutions Track 2025
Securing the cloud isn’t easy. Thales Group reported that the percentage of corporate data stored in the cloud has doubled from 2015 (30%) to 2022 (60%). Meanwhile, the 2023 Unit 42 Attack Surface Threat Report, published by a threat research branch of Palo Alto Networks, reported that “80% of security exposures were observed in cloud environments.” Because this percentage is significantly larger than the percentage of data in the cloud, this implies that the cloud is somehow uniquely vulnerable, or that the cloud is uniquely challenging for security teams.Enter the SANS CloudSecNext Summit Solutions Track 2025. This event will provide you with practical solutions to these challenges from some of the world’s leading experts. We will deliver the latest tools, techniques, and procedures for cloud, multicloud, and hybrid environments. We hope you will be able to take what you learn in this event to make your cloud environments as secure, if not more secure, than your infrastructure on-premises.

SANS 2025 Attack Surface & Vulnerability Management Survey: Hackers Don’t Wait—Why Should We?
In an era where digital footprints expand faster than security teams can track, managing the attack surface is no longer a reactive task, it’s a continuous battle. Organizations face an evolving threat landscape driven by shadow IT, cloud sprawl, third-party risks, and zero-day vulnerabilities. Yet, many security teams struggle to gain full visibility into their external exposure, let alone remediate risks before adversaries exploit them.
