Architecting for security in the cloud

Presented at BSides Austin 2017, May 4, 2017, 3 p.m. (60 minutes)

The best part about creating new products and services in the cloud is the agility that it provides. Your company literally can scale at the click of a button. But if you take the simplicity of the cloud for granted, you wind up with brittle security that even a novice adversary can overcome. This talk will focus on identifying the holes in your cloud application before the attackers do, closing those gaps, and building architectures that can withstand the barrage of attacks that the Internet will throw at it.
