OFFICIAL TALK
With the rapid growth of multi-cloud environments, traditional detection methods fall short against modern threat landscapes. As both attackers and defenders adopt AI, how do we stay ahead without falling for hype?
In this talk, I’ll share real-world strategies to augment cloud threat detection using both open source tools and AI. As a founding engineer of Prowler, one of the most widely used open-source cloud security tools, I’ll walk through how we’ve started integrating AI to:
- Prioritize risks based on context and exploitability
- Detect anomalies across AWS, Azure, and GCP
- Automate triage and remediation suggestions
- Reduce noise in security findings and enhance analyst workflows
This session is highly practical, and grounded in real-world deployments, open-source tools, and the challenges we’ve faced scaling security in cloud-native environments. If you're curious how AI is really reshaping cloud defense, this is your talk.
