What people are talking about at AWS re:Inforce 2021
AWS re:Inforce 2021 — the virtual security, identify, and compliance conference from AWS — is underway today. (And totally free to attend/watch.)
Due to COVID-19 concerns, the event made the switch from two days of in-person learning in Houston to a single day of online-only activity. On the positive side, it means the event is free . . . and you don’t have to travel to Houston. (Kidding!)
To capture a sense of the chit-chat and scuttlebutt that would accompany an in-person event, here are a few highlights from the Twitter-verse during this morning’s keynote session. Conversations included talk of the state of cloud security (and security professionals’ mental health), the newly announced AWS Backup Audit Manager, and plenty of nuggets of cloud security wisdom.
Scroll away! It’s just like being at a conference. (But without the bland catering and the awkward moment when you have to sneak a glance at the badge of the friendly person who somehow remembers you, what you do, and your cat’s name after a brief chat at the conference last year.)
nice shout out from @StephenSchmidt to the #security community to make sure that we have a clear demarcation between work and home…need it to avoid burnout@awscloud #reinforce pic.twitter.com/OnqMTUeGjZ

Ooh, new service. Backups are great, but can you demonstrate that they're backing things up?
I like this very much, because nobody cares about backups. They care about restores. pic.twitter.com/2S6hcNIJ6t— Corey Quinn (@QuinnyPig) August 24, 2021
Detecting S3 buckets with public read permissions is the "Hello, World" of cloud security. #reinforce

Make reviewing permissions part of your IAM program. Do it at a regular cadence. Your business changes, your security needs & access will change too.

HBO Max's CISO is Brian Lozada. He says that they didn't want fear of security incidents get in the way of innovation. Security fears don't get to dictate their tempo, customers do. This is A+ CISOing in my view.

"Everyone here is an automation away from updating their résumé." Now that's a bold thing for a tech leader to say. I approve!

"Because no one accidentally starts learning about compliance regulation" @StephenSchmidt – Truest comment of the event so far #reinforce
