Subject: Securing & Auditing AWS. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the now the de-facto platform for developing the next generation business services and technology platforms. While AWS provides much of the underlying capability for enabling security (i.e., ACLs, 2FA, Encryption, Multi-AZ, etc.), customers using the platform need to design, configure and monitor to ensure security.
This talk will address tools and methods of evaluating gaps and improve AWS security in an existing environment. Discussion will focus on using the AWS Console, AWS CLI and open source tools.
