Usually, when an organization embarks on a new project, it can look to more experienced peers for best practices. What happens when thousands of groups start the same new project, at the same time, with no data? The curious team at Palo Alto Networks wanted to find out.

In this session, Nathaniel ‘Q’ Quist, Principal Researcher at Unit42, and Jason Williams, Product Marketing Manager for Prisma Cloud, present a few different sets of research that surface the strategies and tactics that drove successful (and less successful) cloud/security projects during the initial phases of the pandemic. They’ll highlight the good and the bad, and offer the lessons that have been uncovered so far.
