SANS - Cloud Security Convergence How Controls Models for A Robust Cloud Security Stack Are Changing

Beneath the surface of the digital landscape, a growing threat is hiding in plain sight. In this revealing session, the Sysdig Threat Research Team will unmask the insidious world of ELF malware and its role in powering DDoS-as-a-Service botnets. Sysdig Threat Detection Engineer Alessandra Rizzo will take you through the inner workings of the "Rebirth" botnet, a Mirai variant exploiting vulnerabilities in cloud environments and beyond. Discover how these threats evolve, the tactics attackers use to avoid detection, and the steps you can take to protect your systems. Join us as we unveil the hidden dangers and provide actionable insights to strengthen your defenses.

Under the Mask: Unveiling ELF Malware and DDoS-as-a-Service

Cloud has changed the way we develop, deploy, and scale apps. Traditional perimeter and end-point security does not address the distributed and ephemeral nature of cloud and has huge blind spots for adversaries to go undetected. Active cloud risk is the most imminent threat security teams need to address. Even purpose-built Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tools, relying on point-in-time assessments, need to catch up in detecting and mitigating these active risks.

This SANS Spring 2024 CyberFest keynote addresses the distinction between static and active cloud risks, common tactics used in cloud attacks, and the new 5/5/5 framework that sets a new standard in detecting, prioritizing, and responding to active cloud risks and threats. Watch it for a live discussion and real-life examples from our experts from Sysdig and Amazon.

Active Cloud Risk. How to Combat the Most Critical Threats

Organizations modernizing applications in the cloud find themselves drowning in vulnerabilities and security alerts. With too much noise and not enough time, teams need a better way to prioritize and address real risks to stay ahead of threats.

Join Sysdig for a discussion of how to boost your software supply chain security and address risk from development through production.

In this session we’ll cover:

-The latest cloud-native security risks and challenges

-How to better prioritize vulnerabilities and misconfigurations

-Using runtime signals to reduce AppSec noise up to 95%

-Detecting active cloud risk to protect against cyberattacks

-Improving outcomes with AppSec tools like Snyk, Checkmarx, and Docker

Defend at Cloud Speed: Automating Detection and Response with Sysdig and Google SecOps

Within a single cluster, various apps, languages, and origins converge, often shrouded in mystery. But you don't need to fear the unknown. This session will focus on securing complex and diverse cloud environments that host many different applications from multiple sources, making them challenging to manage and secure.

Join us where Bruno da Silva, Senior Solutions Engineer Sysdig and expert in container security, will guide you through these complexities within clusters. The session will cover critical security practices, such as:
1. Combating drift: Ensuring systems and applications remain consistent with their intended configurations and don't deviate over time. 
2. Warding off malware: Protecting the system from malicious software.
3. Halting breaches: Responding swiftly to security breaches to prevent further damage.

Whether it's combating drift, warding off malware, or swiftly halting breaches, discover how to secure the Multiverse and steer towards the path of optimal remediation.

Navigating the Multiverse: Crafting Effective Remediation Strategies for Diverse Application Ecosystems

Imagine having an AI cloud security analyst capable of multi-step reasoning helping you to understand cloud threats better, make faster decisions, and stop attacks in their tracks.

Now, with Sysdig Sage™, it’s a reality.  

Until now, AI security assistants have only been capable of providing basic responses to queries. This is insufficient for understanding cloud attacks. 

Join us for a tour of Sysdig Sage™, where you will see its powerful and unique capabilities in action, including:
  -  Multi-step reasoning: In-depth conversation is needed to understand runtime events clearly.
  -  Contextual awareness: responses based on what you observe in the UI. 
  -  Guided response: proactive response actions, prevention strategies, and process improvements.

AI-Powered CDR in Action: A Technical Tour of Sysdig Sage™

As cloud-native environments evolve, robust and timely security measures become imperative. You only have a few minutes to find and address active risk to protect against exploits. Tools alone are not enough. You must also adopt new skills and mindsets about security. The 5/5/5 Benchmark sets a new standard for cloud security agility, aligned with the current pace of cloud‑native growth. Join AWS and Sysdig for a discussion of how to equip your teams with speed, agility, and automation to achieve faster cloud and container threat detection and response.

Secure Containers at Cloud Speed with Sysdig and AWS

In today's cloud security landscape, Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) plays a pivotal role in safeguarding enterprise environments against sophisticated cyber threats. Interestingly, the classic game "Guess Who?" offers a surprisingly apt metaphor for understanding the principles and processes underpinning CDR. "Guess Who?" involves players deducing their opponent's chosen character through a series of yes-or-no questions, systematically narrowing down possibilities based on observable characteristics. Similarly, CDR involves identifying and responding to security threats by continuously monitoring cloud environments, analyzing data in real-time, and employing investigative techniques to filter out benign activities from potential security incidents. Both rely on a process of elimination, pattern recognition, and strategic questioning to reach a conclusive identification. 

In this session, we walk through what a game of “Guess Who?” would look like in the cloud. We highlight how real-time detection, strategic investigation, and data-driven decision-making are critical for security operation teams to assess and respond to cloud threats at cloud speed.

"Guess Who?" The Cloud Detection and Response Board Game

When deploying and operating Kubernetes, practitioners often question whether they follow security best practices and maintain effective security posture to mitigate all possible threats. For this reason, OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) created the OWASP Kubernetes Top 10, identifying the most likely risks. The Top 10 projects are useful awareness and guidance resources for security practitioners and engineers. 

In this webinar, we’ll cover:
  -  How the OWASP Kubernetes Top 10 describes risks specific to Kubernetes platforms in order of commonality or probability. 
  -  Applying additional grouping to the risks adds value to security program work.
  -  Additional techniques, including extra technical detail and strategic guidance, are included to audit and harden your Kubernetes environments and maintain an effective security posture.
