Minimizing the Blast Radius of a Cloud Breach | Josh Stella | Conf42 DevSecOps 2021

Conference: Conf42 DevSecOps 2021

Year: 2021

Josh Stella CEO & CTO @ Fugue Today’s cloud attacks don’t exploit a single misconfiguration, but rather a series of them. Josh will walk through a process for understanding the blast radius of potential security events in your environment, and steps you can take to prevent minor ones from becoming catastrophic breaches. The recent Twitch breach may have begun with a lone server misconfiguration, but it's blast radius reached everything from sensitive customer data to source code for yet-to-be-released applications. Today’s cloud attacks don’t exploit a single misconfiguration, but rather a series of them. In this session, Josh Stella will walk through a process for understanding the blast radius of a variety of potential security events in your environment, and steps you can take to prevent minor ones from becoming catastrophic breaches. You’ll walk away from this session with an understanding of how to: -Evaluate your Identity and Access Management (IAM) resources for weaknesses that attackers can exploit -Employ penetration testing methodologies to assess the blast radius of public-facing resource misconfigurations -Harden your cloud security posture using policy as code to address complex, multi-resource “blast radius” risks Other talks at this conference 🚀🪐 https://www.conf42.com​/devsecops2021 — 0:00 Intro 0:26 Talk
