Lyft Cartography: Automating Security Visibility and Democratization

Presented at BSidesSF 2019, March 3, 2019, 11 a.m. (30 minutes).

Lyft Security Intelligence team mission is to "Empower the company to make informed and automated security decisions." To achieve our mission, we invested in our cartography capabilities that aim at keeping track of our assets but most importantly, the relationship and interaction between them. The talk provides insight on an intelligence service solution implemented by Lyft Security Intelligence team to tackle knowledge consolidation and improve decision making. Attendees of this session will be introduced to the platform we implemented along with a broad set of scenarios that allow us to burndown security debt, detect assumptions drift, and enable teams to explore their service and environment. Furthermore, Lyft will release the platform to the open source community as part of the conference and provide details on how it can be extended to adapt to each need.
