Securing AWS - Presented by Orca Security

In 2021, over 20 publicly disclosed data breaches involving misconfigured S3 buckets, compromised static long-lived credentials and ransomware and this is expected to climb as companies continue modernizing their applications and infrastructure. Understanding which identities have permissions to do what action is extremely complicated and per-asset integrations, agents, siloed data, disparate consoles and disconnected workflows make it impossible to ensure complete visibility across your entire cloud estate. In most breaches, identities with permission combinations that enable ransomware attacks or data leaks are overlooked because security professionals don't have the context to distinguish between noise and alerts that represent legitimate risk or imminent compromise. This is why it is critical that your cloud security solution uses context to prioritize alerts and seamlessly integrate into your cloud environment without the use of agents, network scans or per-asset integration.

Join us as Orca Security discusses the state of AWS security and how our AWS environments can be better protected from internal and external threats. Food and drinks are sponsored by Presidio.
