The growth of and use of public clouds has been unprecedented, with no signs of abating. Today, the use of public clouds for enterprise datacenters is mainstream. And for good reason; the advantages are significant and the gained agility undisputable. However, the number of services and options being offered by the public cloud providers today can be daunting. The breadth and depth of services and choice is increasing daily.

With these choices come consequences; it is a 'one strike and you're out' environment. Just one misconfiguration can potentially put your entire organization at risk…or worse. It is this combination of seemingly endless choice along with the ease of access and use that creates the potential for catastrophe. Moreover, just imagine trying to find out if any of your S3 buckets are exposed or misconfigured when you have thousands of them. It's like finding a needle in a stack of needles.

While most everyone will agree the public cloud environments being offered today are extremely comprehensive and very powerful, in unskilled hands, one fat-finger can have dire consequences. And, as you expand your use and implement ephemeral cloud-native services such as Amazon Lambda functions and other cloud-native platform components (RSDA, Redshift, ELF, ALB, ECS) new challenges will arise when conducting threat-detection and attribution.

In this session you will learn why Gartner says, "Through 2022, at least 95% of cloud security failures will be the customer's fault."
