Building the Digital Stadium of the Future—Today: A Conversation with Miller Sports + Entertainment

Cloud workloads are often exposed to attacks, and adversaries are innovating faster than most defenses can keep up. AI-generated attacks, and covert data exfiltration are just a few of the risks security leaders must address in 2025. To effectively defend against sophisticated attacks, we need a different approach—one that begins with detecting threats preemptively, at the earliest stage of the attack lifecycle: the DNS layer.   

In this session, Google Cloud and Infoblox security experts will: 
- Break down the top 5 risks facing cloud workloads and why they matter to your business. 
- Share recent attacker techniques—from domain generation algorithms to ransomware C2 channels—that bypass traditional defenses. 
- Explore how protective DNS and Google Cloud DNS Armor fit into a preemptive security strategy that blocks attacks earlier and strengthens resilience for cloud workloads and beyond.

Top 5 Cloud Workload Risks in 2025 – How Google Cloud and DNS Security Stop Them Before Impact

In today’s hybrid, multi-cloud environments, tightly coupling DNS and DHCP to identity services creates fragility, hidden dependencies, and escalating costs. A single failure can cascade across the enterprise, amplifying downtime risk and driving up operational complexity. 

In this session, we’ll explore the strategic case for decoupling DNS and DHCP from identity services to strengthen resiliency, simplify operations, and unlock cost savings. You’ll learn practical steps to reduce hidden single points of failure, shrink your outage blast radius, and future-proof your infrastructure. 

We’ll also share a real-world case study: how a large U.S. school district with more than 175 sites modernized its DNS/DHCP infrastructure with Infoblox alongside a third-party identity provider. The result: streamlined operations and a significant reduction in annual spend on identity and DNS/DHCP, which had previously reached nearly $8M. 

Why Attend: 
- Discover how decoupling DNS/DHCP from identity services reduces cascading failure risks. 
- Learn practical strategies to increase resiliency and reduce your outage blast radius. 
- Hear how a U.S. school district modernized at scale while driving major cost savings.

Breaking the Chain: Why Decoupling DNS and DHCP from Identity is Critical for Network Resilience and Cost Savings

Most organizations are investing in Attack Surface Management (ASM), but many programs miss a critical piece of the puzzle: DNS Security. Without DNS, ASM efforts lack the same vantage point attackers use to map your environment — leaving blind spots that can be exploited long before defenders respond. 

Grab a coffee and join Cricket Liu, Chief DNS Architect, and Krupa Srivatsan, Senior Director of Product Marketing, for a candid discussion on why DNS Security is the missing link for ASM success. 

They’ll break down: 
- The attacker’s-eye view — why adversaries start with DNS enumeration and what that means for ASM. 
- Hidden exposures — how forgotten or misconfigured DNS records create takeover opportunities. 
- Continuous truth — how DNS (and IPAM) deliver real-time visibility vs. stale, scan-based inventories. 
- Preemptive defense — how Protective DNS blocks malicious domains before attacks spread. 
- Business outcomes — how DNS Security connects ASM to measurable risk reduction and compliance.

Coffee with Cricket & Krupa: Why DNS Security is the Missing Link in ASM

When the Answer Really Is “No” -- How to Say It Diplomatically

Many people talk about the need for a cybersecurity mindset. The discussion generally focuses on whether you have one or not and how to foster a security mindset. However, why should there only be one cybersecurity mindset while there are, in fact, many types of cybersecurity mindsets. This diversity in thinking is required to strengthen your cybersecurity team.  

Tune into this presentation to learn about various cybersecurity mindsets and discover:
- How does mindset influences decision making?
- What are the potential cybersecurity mindsets?
- How does the interaction of mindsets build team cohesion?

Diversity of Cybersecurity Mindsets

Senior management is generally supportive of cybersecurity and lower-level staff do what they’re told to do. Middle management, however, is beset by perverse incentives to sell, sell, sell; cut costs; and do more with less. This leaves them without enough mind-space left to focus attention on cybersecurity. 

Tune into this cyber-session to discover tips and ideas covering:
--Finding and fixing the middle management weak spots.
--The consequences of a cybersecurity culture based on inaction.
--Potential solutions, tailored for middle managers, to enhance a cybersecurity culture.
