**Topic repeated at 2 different times, please join the session that is best suited for your time zone.**
The cloud offers more than just a bucket for data and applications to be delivered “as a service.” Isolated virtual environments, air gap gateways, recovery tools, virtual networking, immutable storage, clean rooms, and new security tools such as scanners and AI are all a part of the next generation of cyber security solutions against advanced threats.

This session will explore real use cases and VMware client examples of how these tools can be used and, in some cases, combined to augment existing security strategies against ransomware and the new regulations and compliance requirements.
