Why Solving the Data Problem is Key to Cloud Security?

In this episode we’re joined by Francis Odum, founder and lead research analyst at Software Analyst Cyber Research. Drawing from his extensive research and conversations with CISOs, security operators, and vendors, Francis shares his insights on the state of identity security and the rise of non-human identities (NHI) in the cloud, why solving the data problem is critical to reducing false positives, improving SOC efficiency, and cutting costs, the early but growing landscape of AI and LLM security and its intersection with DSPM and data governance and predictions for 2025 trends, including what should be ditched and what the cybersecurity industry should prioritize.
