AWS Cloud Security

Daniel Voicu: “Many companies adopt cloud services to benefit from the flexibility, but get lost in securing them. This makes room for lots of negative publicity with data breaches (see Capital One) and running out of business (Code Spaces).

For startups a security incident with customer data breach can spell the end of the road. The presentation will discuss briefly the differences between infrastructure security postures on-prem and cloud, and outline some of the best security practices for securing AWS environments. Will also cover some of the more recent public incidents for companies hosted in AWS, looking at what went wrong and how to guard against it. Finally, will provide links to materials like session recordings from AWS re:invent and re:inforce for a deeper dive at the participant’s leisure.”
