About

Modernizing applications has become essential for businesses seeking to enhance agility, scalability, and cost efficiency in today’s competitive landscape. By transitioning from monolithic architectures to microservices-based designs in cloud environments, organizations can unlock new levels of flexibility and performance. Coupled with AI and other cloud-based services, modernized apps can deliver richer, more engaging user experiences.

However, as the pace of app modernization increases, so do the associated challenges. The integration of AI models, third-party APIs, and cloud services often expands the attack surface of applications, leaving them vulnerable to evolving security threats. Organizations must find effective strategies to protect their apps without compromising performance, scalability, or innovation.

Join us for a live panel discussion in the latest episode of The Last Great Cloud Transformation series, where industry experts will share actionable insights, real-world experiences, and practical guidance to help your organization modernize with confidence.
