SID304: SecOps 2021 Today: Using AWS Services to Deliver SecOps

This talk dives deep on how to build end-to-end security capabilities using AWS. Our goal is orchestrating AWS Security services with other AWS building blocks to deliver enhanced security. We cover working with AWS CloudWatch Events as a queueing mechanism for processing security events, using Amazon DynamoDB to provide a stateful layer to provide tailored response to events and other ancillary functions, using DynamoDB as an attack signature engine, and the use of analytics to derive tailored signatures for detection with AWS Lambda. Log sources include available AWS sources and also more traditional logs, such as syslog. The talk aims to keep slides to a minimum and demo live as much as possible. The demos come together to demonstrate an end-to-end architecture for SecOps. You'll get a toolkit consisting of code and templates so you can hit the ground running.
