Audit Blind Spots in Modern Cloud: Risks Audits Keep Missing WEBCAST

Overview

As organizations rapidly adopt cloud platforms, traditional audit approaches often fail to identify the risks that matter most. This webinar explores common audit blind spots in modern cloud environments, including misconfigurations, identity sprawl, excessive permissions, and ineffective continuous monitoring. Attendees will learn why checklist-based audits fall short in dynamic cloud environments and how leveraging Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and risk-based audit techniques can significantly improve assurance. Practical examples will illustrate how auditors and risk professionals can enhance visibility, prioritize findings, and provide stronger assurance to leadership.
