1. Building and Adopting a Cloud-Native Security Program

Speakers: Rich Mogull, Bill Burns

Cloud is a new frontier that requires new architectures, higher velocity processes and crisper business-level metrics—all of which smacks security programs square in the face. This session will leverage the nearly 20 years of the speakers’ combined cloud experience to lay out a complete strategy for building out a cloud-first security program that covers infrastructure and application development.

4. Ephemeral DevOps: Adventures in Managing Short-Lived Systems

Speaker: Todd Carr

This talk will explore the concepts and experiences of using configuration management in a highly disposable environment of ephemeral virtual machines. It will cover why an operations team may desire such an environment, the tools the presenter used to build one, and most importantly, the sorts of failures, accomplishments and considerations encountered during the journey.

5. FIM and System Call Auditing at Scale in a Large Container Deployment

Speaker: Ravi Honnavalli

This will show how, on a large container deployment, the speaker achieved insight into security events like file events on sensitive files, system call auditing, user level activity trail, network activity, etc., by customizing and plumbing a stack of open source tools that use the underlying Linux’s inotify and kernel audit components and by aggregating these events centrally in Elasticsearch.

6. Humans and Data Don’t Mix: Best Practices to Secure Your Cloud

Speaker: Stephen Schmidt

While the causes of outages are varied, human error far outpaces all hardware failures. The risk of humans touching sensitive data is clear, but the tools, techniques and risk-mitigation strategies lag behind current realities. Stephen Schmidt, AWS CISO, will share hard-earned lessons around potential gaps in your security plan, along with steps to lessen potential angles of attack.

8. Pragmatic Security Automation for Cloud

Speaker: Rich Mogull

Everything in cloud computing is automated and API-enabled, giving security teams a big opportunity to build and embed security into infrastructures. From continuous guardrails to automated "afterburners" to speed up complex processes, this advanced session leverages the latest software-defined security techniques and shows how to integrate automation. Be prepared for demos, design patterns and a little code.

9. Red Team vs. Blue Team on AWS

Speakers: Kolby Allen, Teri Radichel

Cloud attack vectors and security controls are different. Many companies breached on AWS moved sensitive data to AWS following best practices or implementing cloud security controls correctly. Reports indicate that hybrid cloud implementations have weaknesses and research finds that devs are the new security target. See Kolby Allen and Teri Radichel duke it out as Teri attacks an AWS account and Kolby defends it.

10. Transfer Learning: Re-purposing ML Algorithms from Different Domains to Cloud Defense

Speaker: Mark Russinovich

Machine learning algorithms are key to modern at-scale cyberdefense. Transfer learning is a state of the art ML paradigm that enables applying knowledge and algorithms developed from one field to another, resulting in innovative solutions. This talk presents transfer learning in action wherein techniques created from other areas are successfully re-purposed and applied to cybersecurity.
