📣 The Voice of the Customer track highlights customer-led sessions focused on real-world operational challenges in security and networking. Speakers from industries such as retail, media, healthcare, and industrial operations share practical decisions, trade-offs, and outcomes using approaches like unified SASE, secure SD-WAN, cloud security, and automation. Emphasis is on results—policy consistency, improved visibility, faster incident response, and operational scalability—rather than idealized architectures.

🔐 At the Munich Cybersecurity Conference (MCSC) 2026, representatives from the White House, FBI, Europol, OECD, BSI, BND, the European Commission and Japan's National Cybersecurity Office convened to discuss the rising global cyber threat environment. Speakers emphasized the need for stronger public-private cooperation and the industrialization of cybersecurity to better protect critical digital infrastructure. Panelists warned that geopolitical tensions - notably involving North Korea, China and Russia - and transnational cybercrime demand coordinated international responses.

🔍 This webinar examines how modern cloud forensics replaces slow, manual log stitching with automated, context-aware investigation across transient infrastructure. You’ll learn why traditional incident response fails when compromised instances, rotating identities, and expiring logs erase evidence, and why three capabilities — host-level visibility, context mapping, and automated evidence capture — are essential. The session demonstrates real investigations where correlated signals rebuild full attack timelines in minutes, enabling faster scoping, clearer attribution, and more confident remediation.
