Whether you like it or not, you’re on a Cloud Security team

Abstract: Stop asking the questions: who’s responsible for cloud security? Should we build a dedicated cloud security team? Chances are, if you work in Enterprise Security, you are already on a “Cloud Security Team”. In this talk, Kat will walk through the common capabilities within an Enterprise Security Organization from vulnerability management to forensics and the SOC, detailing how their ways of working and how their knowledge base must shift with the adoption of the cloud. Kat will review from top to bottom the cloud threat landscape and how these risks can to be addressed by the existing enterprise security teams with new tooling or sometimes just a shift in their mental models.

Kat Traxler is the Principal Security Researcher at Vectra AI, focusing on abuse techniques and vulnerabilities in the public cloud. Additionally she has worked at various stages in the SDLC, performing web application penetration testing and security architecture.

Kat’s research philosophy directs her work to where design flaws and misconfigurations are most probable. This guiding principle leads her research to the intersection of technologies, particularly the convergence of cloud security and application security, and where the OS layer interfaces with higher-level abstractions.
