Description

As more and more companies migrate to cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS and GCP, we are also seeing an increase in the number of attacks taking place on these platforms. These attacks exploit techniques specific to public cloud providers, and can sometimes also result in surprising threats and risks.

Based on several recent incidents in Quebec, we’re going to present the usual threat scenarios, the issues involved in this type of investigation, and the best practices to put in place. Timmy Boisvert, AWS security specialist at KPMG, will also present an example of a solution that can be implemented with native solutions.

The presentation will focus on incidents encountered in AWS, but the findings are multi-Cloud.
