Details
The Defence Digital Strategy and Roadmap 2024 establishes ambitious targets to modernise Defence ICT capabilities, with a significant emphasis on the use of cloud services.
New paradigms bring both opportunities and challenges, and cloud technology is no exception. While it can offer inherent resilience and scale, it can also increase attack surface in unfamiliar ways. Understanding these as well as shared responsibilities is crucial for effective security.
In this session, we’ll explore potential security architectures for the roadmap priority areas of focus related to cloud adoption. Our discussion will draw on macro industry analysis, localised app modernisation experiences and lessons learned from significant breaches. The goal is to provide practical and actionable insights.
