As organizations accelerate the adoption of multi-cloud, containers, and AI technologies, the gap between innovation and security maturity continues to widen. This webinar leverages insights from the Qualys 2026 Cloud and Application Security Maturity Report and Techstrong research and will explore critical security and compliance challenges for CISOs, CloudSecOps, and DevSecOps in 2026.

The session will highlight the most pressing gaps, including over-reliance on basic CVSS scores, manual remediation processes, and insufficient integration of security into the CI/CD pipeline. These gaps not only increase the risk of breaches but also jeopardize compliance with frameworks like NIST, ISO, PCI, and GDPR.

Qualys experts will provide actionable strategies to address these challenges, focusing on best practices for:

• Balancing speed and security: Learn how to empower developers to accelerate application development without compromising security or compliance.

• Resolving delays in remediation: Discover strategies to overcome last-mile remediation challenges and eliminate bottlenecks that leave vulnerabilities exposed.

• Uncovering hidden risks for audit failures: Address critical blind spots and compliance gaps, especially as AI introduces new complexities to your cloud environment.

• Overcoming fragmented visibility: Break down silos and unify your security posture across multi-cloud, containers, and APIs to stay ahead of evolving threats.

This fireside chat will equip security leaders with the information needed to transition from reactive, checklist-driven approaches to proactive, automated, and risk-aware security programs. Join us to learn how to build a resilient, audit-ready cloud security strategy that not only meets compliance requirements but also effectively mitigates risks for modern cloud environments.
