AI has pushed cloud into overdrive. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, two of our top cloud experts — Jack French and Todd Barron — reset the approach and detail why cloud is the launchpad but portability is the strategy; how to start greenfield with containers and abstraction; what a real FinOps model for AI looks like (unit economics, tagging, token/GPU visibility); where neo clouds fit versus hyperscalers; and how to handle cross-cloud risk and skill gaps; and the governance moves that accelerate—not restrict—innovation.

As artificial intelligence moves from prediction to action, a new security frontier is taking shape. In this episode, Zscaler's Head of AI Innovation Phil Tee and WWT's VP of Global Cyber Chris Konrad explore the rise of autonomous agents, the evolution of Zero Trust and what it means to secure AI itself. From poisoned prompts to quantum threats, they warn the biggest risk isn't just deploying AI — it's trusting it. A sharp, real-world look at how enterprises can protect their future as machines begin to make decisions of their own.

APIs have become the backbone of modern digital interactions, connecting everything from morning coffee purchases to streaming services. But the rise of API-centric architectures has drastically expanded the attack surface -- over 90 percent of web-based cyberattacks are now targeting API endpoints, exploiting new vulnerabilities often overlooked by security teams – and rendered traditional security measures are no longer sufficient. Join F5 Field CTO Chuck Herrin and WWT's Head of Global Cyber Strategy Traci Byrne as they talk about the urgent need for more dynamic and comprehensive defense strategies to prevent breaches. Chuck and Traci detail how security teams can "shift left" to better address API risks and vulnerabilities and outline practical steps security leaders can take to bolster their defenses.

Take a look at Cisco's new management tool that combines security controls for the cloud, services edge, applications, and large language models under a single view.

Massive investments in IT infrastructure will be needed for the DoD to effectively leverage AI, advanced cybersecurity measures and cloud adoption — all critical to mission readiness. However, these investments must consider talent shortages, technical debt and other operational challenges. Join WWT experts Chris Morgenstern, DoD Consulting Solutions Architect, and Tim Robinson, DoD Principal Solutions Architect, as they discuss modernizing DoD infrastructure in the face of change.

Ransomware is a critical issue affecting organization's internal security and data protection. It has become much more pronounced in recent years. WWT's Dominic Greco and Tim Schaap review the importance of Cyber Resiliency and Disaster Recovery toward protecting against Ransomware attacks.

In this lightboard session, we will take a look at the fundamental components of a Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) to understand how it consolidates your cloud security architecture. You will see a breakdown of how Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP), and Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) work together to provide a unified view of your environment and prioritize the most important issues first.

Cyber attackers are no longer just at the gates; they're already inside, moving stealthily across your complex hybrid multi-cloud environment. Traditional security tools flood you with data but lack the context needed to connect the dots, leaving attackers free to roam, steal data, and disrupt operations. Enter Illumio Insights, the first cloud detection and response solution built on the AI security graph. This breakthrough in AI-enriched observability, detection, and containment transforms traffic and workload data into actionable intelligence. Agentless and quick to deploy, it provides AI-enriched context for all resources, flows, and workloads, allowing you to dynamically quarantine threats with a single click. Built for cloud scale, Illumio Insights doesn't just find a needle in a haystack but every needle in every haystack, ensuring you have the answers you need.

AWS provides many options for inter-area connectivity to their resources. This video focuses on the AWS direct connect deployment that enables users to establish a direct, private connection between on-premises networks and AWS.

CrowdStrike Falcon Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) extends visibility beyond endpoints and cloud and automatically prioritizes the most impactful risks.
