About the Event
This live webinar hosted by Skyhigh Security explores the security challenges facing enterprises as hybrid work becomes the operational standard. The session questions whether cloud-only security models remain appropriate for organizations where employees have returned to offices or where workloads, including AI, are being repatriated to on-premise datacenters.
The webinar takes an executive panel format, with sessions scheduled across multiple regions to accommodate global audiences. The content is strategic and educational rather than technical or hands-on.
Hybrid Security Architecture and Cost Considerations
A central theme of the webinar is the financial and operational impact of maintaining cloud-only security architectures when organizational realities have shifted. The session examines how routing all traffic through cloud infrastructure can create latency and cost inefficiencies, particularly for enterprises with significant on-premise presence.
Speakers will discuss strategies for balancing cloud and local security enforcement, drawing on real-world data about how organizations are adapting their security postures to hybrid work environments.
Regulatory and Compliance Pressures
The webinar addresses how tightening data privacy laws and regulatory requirements are influencing security architecture decisions. For organizations in regulated sectors, the ability to maintain compliance while managing data and AI workloads across hybrid environments presents distinct challenges that cloud-only models may not adequately address.
Technologies Covered
The session sits within the Security Service Edge (SSE) domain and references several related technologies: Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Secure Web Gateway, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
Who Should Attend
The webinar targets executive and senior technical leaders responsible for security strategy and budget in large enterprises. Relevant roles include CISOs, CIOs and CFOs, along with professionals in information security, IT operations, compliance and finance departments. Organizations in financial services, public sector and other regulated industries managing hybrid or returning-to-office workforces will find the content most applicable.
