TEL AVIV, Israel, May 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightspin, the next-generation cloud security platform, and Perimeter 81, the rapidly-growing Zero Trust Network Access leader, today announced the speaker list and agenda for the first Purple Cloud Summit. On Wednesday, June 8 at The Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco as well as livestreamed virtually on Lightspin's YouTube Channel, the Purple Cloud Summit and Lounge event will bring together cloud security experts, CISOs, DevOps and security leaders to discuss methods and strategies for building, securing and defending cloud environments.

According to Check Point's 2022 Cloud Security Report, 27% of organizations have experienced a security incident in their public cloud infrastructure within the last 12 months. Of these, nearly a quarter (23%) were caused by security misconfigurations in cloud infrastructure.

"Despite the ubiquity of the cloud, organizations are still struggling with unexpected complexities that pose significant challenges to security," said Vladi Sandler, CEO of Lightspin. "With this event, we hope to arm security and DevOps professionals with the knowledge and tangible tactics to better tackle the current security challenges inherent in today's cloud environment."

"Over the last two years, business has forever changed. Now countless businesses struggle to effectively secure their cloud-first, distributed workforce," said Amit Bareket, CEO of Perimeter 81. "Managing cloud security should be simpler, smarter and more accessible. Attendees of the Purple Cloud Summit will learn strategies to meet the demands of today, and the growth of tomorrow."

Beginning at 8:30 a.m., this one-day event will facilitate thought-provoking conversations on the methods and strategies that drive cloud security forward. The agenda includes:

- Session 1: "C-Suite View of Cloud DevSecOps Today and Tomorrow"

Cloud security experts will discuss approaches that resonate with the C-suite.

- Session 2: "Managing Cybersecurity Risk from the CI/CD Pipeline to the Board Room"
