Navigating the Future in Azure: AI, Security & Data in the Cloud

Danny Nicholson, Public Cloud Specialist Lead at Atech, will explore the evolving landscape of cloud security, AI, and data management. With cloud technology now a necessity rather than an innovation, businesses must adapt to emerging threats and opportunities.

Danny will delve into the top security trends, including the adoption of Zero Trust principles, the impact of AI in both cyber threats and defence, and the growing importance of data security and governance.

This discussion will provide insights and lessons for organisations looking to enhance their security posture while leveraging AI and cloud technology for innovation and efficiency.

Key Takeaways:

  • How AI is transforming how we operate—security strategies must evolve just as rapidly.
  • Why Zero Trust isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of AI-ready security.
