Getting started with AWS Security

Presented at Diana Initiative 2019, Aug. 9, 2019, 5 p.m. (60 minutes)

More and more businesses have their production infrastructure at least partly in the cloud. Some of the traditional security measures like firewalls, border routers, and unplugging systems from the network no longer apply. In their place is a dizzying list of service offerings from AWS, Azure, and Google (among others). How do you build a secure network on AWS, secure the one you've got, or find all the weak spots? This talk will give you some places to start, and also some "gotcha" spots you may need to be aware of.
