Cloud misconfiguration is the number one cause of data breaches, which is always the fault of the cloud customer. Bolting on cloud security solutions fails because cloud security is a software engineering problem, not a traditional security analysis problem. In order to prevent data breaches in the cloud, we must address it with secure cloud configuration and software architecture approaches.

In this talk, we'll run a live simulation of an advanced cloud-native misconfiguration exploits to show a number of ways common cloud architectural and operational anti-patterns create opportunities for hackers to gain entry to cloud environments, move laterally using tools like IAM services, and ultimately find and breach data.

At each step, we'll share alternative approaches to architecting cloud infrastructure services to ensure our applications run efficiently while denying bad actors the tools and means to exploit them. Attendees will leave with actionable insights to evaluate their own cloud environment for misconfiguration vulnerabilities and how to address them without slowing down innovation or removing the power that cloud computing delivers.
