Please join us on Friday May 15, 2026 for Super Cyber Friday.

Our topic of discussion will be “Hacking the Cloud Security Playbook: An hour of critical thinking about CNAPP in the age of AI development.”

Joining David Spark, producer of CISO Series for this discussion will be:

Dan Benjamin, vp product - data, identity, and AI security, Palo Alto Networks

In preparation for our discussion, think about the following:

CNAPP was supposed to bring cloud security tools together. But has it actually unified the SOC, AppSec, and CloudSec teams, or just given each silo a shinier tool?

When everyone can identify and visualize risk, what's next? Where does cloud security go from here?

CNAPP was designed to help security keep pace with agile cloud development. Now AI coding tools are accelerating that development dramatically. Does CNAPP even have a chance of keeping up?

Google estimates roughly a third of production code is now written with AI assistance. What does that do to your attack surface, and is the cloud security industry even thinking about that yet?

Legacy security vendors are now entering the CNAPP space. Does that validate the category, or signal that it's already becoming commoditized before it's fully matured?

Analysts have a fairly settled view of what CNAPP is and what it solves. What are they getting wrong?

What does the next generation of cloud security need to do that CNAPP, as currently defined, simply can't?

It all starts at 1 PM Eastern/10 AM Pacific. At the end of the hour [2 PM Eastern/11 AM Pacific] we'll switch gears to our meetup where everyone will get a chance to chat face to face.
