"I am an introductory learner and this would have helped me TREMENDOUSLY with a job interview I just failed because I hadn't worked with managing security for S3 buckets in application. Great (and free) training. Some of the best types of workshops I've attended. Will be coming back for more; even if I don't know what I'm getting myself into." - Avoiding Data Disasters attendee

Least Privilege - An Adventure in Third-Party Cloud Account AccessRyan NicholsonWednesday, 17 Jan 2024
10:00am EST (15:00 UTC)

Many cloud-focused tools and third-party vendors require access to your organization’s cloud account. Sure, you could open up the flood gates and allow full, administrative access, but do those vendors and tools need that level of access? Most likely, no. In an age of increased supply chain and upstream vendor compromises, we must ensure that we are limiting any and all external access to what is truly needed and nothing more.

Building Better Detections | Azure EditionAlex BraulikTuesday, 6 Feb 2024
10:00am EST (15:00)

As with any enterprise environment, we can (and should) focus on hardening our defenses to keep the adversaries out, but these defenses may some day be evaded via a variety of methods. Cloud is no different. In this workshop, we will work through the process of creating a detection that we can use as defenders to spot an adversary performing attack techniques against our Azure environments.

Details and registration for future workshops will be added as they become available.

Keep offering this useful and informative free workshops hosted by experienced speakers! Loved it.
