Using Chaos Engineering to Build a Secure Cloud Infrastructure


Details
Summary
The number one cause of cloud data breaches is infrastructure misconfiguration, whether due to human error, a lack of policy controls in CI/CD pipelines, or bad actors. Modern cloud threats use automation to find and exploit these misconfiguration vulnerabilities before traditional scan and alert tools can identify them. Security teams that rely on manual remediation tactics are always reacting, and at a disadvantage. In order to become more proactive and prevent these threats from doing any damage, an organization needs to simulate real-world misconfigurations to identify security gaps before they are exploited.
We’ll cover common cloud infrastructure misconfigurations that put data at risk and how to use automation to fix them.
Attendees will see a live demonstration of:
How to use chaos engineering to attack the security posture of a cloud environment via intentional misconfiguration
How different tools and methods for cloud infrastructure security stand up to these misconfiguration attacks
The audience will gain a practical understanding of how to:
Deploy chaos engineering against their own test cloud environments
Measure cloud security resilience using Mean Time to Remediation (MTTR)
Evaluate and use different tools to automatically remediate misconfiguration without human intervention
Identify critical cloud resources in order to prioritize their security efforts
Build security collaboration between Security, Application Teams, and Operations to decrease risk while increasing speed of innovation
