Using the cloud is a norm now. Cloud security monitoring and response to incidents in the cloud is essential. Last year, there were notorious cloud security incidents with core IT infrastructure companies such as CircleCI and JumpCloud.
In this talk we show how such attacks can happen and how to defend from them. We set up a simulated environment closely resembling the real setup of modern tech companies in cloud. We show how to run an end-to-end attack. In parallel, we run detection tools and show how to gain visibility about this attack, identify a security event and conduct an analysis.
The attendees will take away principles of cloud security issues and knowledge of how to configure rules to detect attacks in the cloud, analysis of cloud logs, and fundamentals of the cloud.
