Speaker Info

Keynote Talk

Speaker: Shabnam Motamedirad
Position: Solutions Architect, Public Cloud Group
Talk Title: Governance First: Building a Compliant AWS Multi-Account Setup
Abstract: Highly regulated industries face strict requirements around security, governance, compliance, and auditability, yet they still need the agility and scalability of the cloud. In this talk, we will walk through how to design and implement a secure AWS Landing Zone tailored for regulated environments using AWS Control Tower as a foundation.

You’ll learn:

• What defines a highly regulated environment and the common compliance challenges in cloud adoption
• The core concepts of an AWS Landing Zone and why it’s the foundation of a secure multi-account strategy
• How AWS Control Tower helps establish governance, security guardrails, and account provisioning
• How and when to customize Control Tower to meet advanced regulatory or organizational needs

AI Security Talk

Speaker: Nensi Hakobjanyan
Position: Solutions Architect, AWS
Talk Title: Securing AI Workloads on AWS: Defense-in-Depth for the Age of Generative AI
Abstract: From classic ML to generative AI and autonomous agents, every layer of the AI stack introduces new security challenges. But do we need to reinvent the wheel?
In this session, we explore how traditional security principles like identity, data protection, threat detection, and governance apply to AI workloads using native AWS services, and where they need to adapt for AI's unique risks. This session is perfectly suited for everyone looking to build AI that's powerful and secure by design.
