AWS Summit San Francisco 2017: Top 3 Recommended Sessions
AWS Summit San Francisco will be held on April 18–19 at Moscone West
Dome9 is excited to be taking part in another AWS Summit San Francisco event — this time in our own backyard! As is tradition around these parts, Dome9 has picked and published three recommended sessions to attend during the event. These sessions focus on emerging approaches to AWS security and performance and offer a balanced cross-section of topics important to security-focused enterprise organizations — regardless of your IaaS maturity. While these sessions are not 101-level introductory topics, they focus on matters that become immediately important once scale and security intersect.
Session Recommendations
Title: Security @ (Cloud) Scale (SEC301)
Speaker(s): Larry Gilreath and Matt Bretan
Time/Date: April 18th, 10:15 am — 11:15 am
Description: Customers using AWS benefit from over 1,800 security and compliance controls built into the AWS platform and operations. In this session, you will learn how to take advantage of the advanced security features of the AWS platform to gain the visibility, agility, and control needed to be more secure in the cloud than in legacy environments. We’ll take a look at several reference architectures for common workloads and highlight the innovative ways customers are using AWS to manage security more efficiently. After attending this session, you will be familiar with the shared security responsibility model and how you can inherit controls from the rich compliance and accreditation programs maintained by AWS.

Title: Building CI/CD Pipelines for Serverless Applications (SMC305)
Speaker(s): Leo Zhadanovsky
Time/Date: April 18th, 2:00 pm — 3:00 pm
Description: Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) help developers rapidly and reliably release updates for their applications in a standardized and safe manner. The faster you can release new features and fix bugs, the quicker you can innovate and respond to customer needs. Serverless computing has changed the game for application development, including how to properly perform CI/CD for your application. AWS provides developer tools that help you automate the end-to-end lifecycle of your serverless application. In this session, we’ll discuss how to build multi-stage pipelines that let you build and test your application in an automated way using AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeBuild. We’ll also cover the built-in capabilities of AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway that allow you to create multiple versions, stages, and environments for your serverless applications.

Title: Automating Security in Cloud Workloads with DevSecOps (SEC303)
Speaker(s): Henrik Johannson
Time/Date: April 19th, 12:00 pm — 1:00 pm
Description: This session is designed to teach security engineers, developers, solutions architects, and other technical security practitioners how to use a DevSecOps approach to design and build robust security controls at cloud-scale. This session walks through the design considerations of operating high-assurance workloads on top of the AWS platform and provides examples of how to automate configuration management and generate audit evidence for your own workloads. We’ll discuss practical examples using real code for automating security tasks, then dive deeper to map the configurations against various industry frameworks. This advanced session showcases how continuous integration and deployment pipelines can accelerate the speed of security teams and improve collaboration with software development teams.
