SEC222-S: Protecting you from you: Misconfiguration-caused breaches

AWS re:Invent 2019

According to Gartner, "through 2022, at least 95 percent of cloud security failures will be the customer's fault." In this session, Roy Feintuch, cloud chief technologist at Check Point Software, outlines the problem statement while providing surprising examples of publicly known security breaches. He then provides best practices and methodologies to mitigate these breaches using detective, reactive, and preventative measures, as well as compliance and configuration monitoring. As part of the session, Feintuch also discusses alternative proprietary techniques that augment AWS native services and capabilities, like AWS Control Tower and AWS Lambda. This session is brought to you by Check Point Software, an APN Partner.
