Security in the cloud Workshop HSTC 2014Akash Mahajan
A broad overview of what it takes to be secure. This is more of an introduction where we introduce the basic terms around Cloud Computing and how do we go about securing our information assets(Data, Applications and Infrastructure)
The workshop was fun because all the slides were paired with real world examples of security breaches and attacks.
As organizations shift control of their infrastructure and data to the cloud, it is critical that they rethink their application security efforts. This can be accomplished by ensuring applications are designed to take advantage of built-in cloud security controls and configured properly in deployment.
Attend this webcast to gain insight into the security nuances of the cloud platform and risk mitigation techniques. Topics include:
• Common cloud threats and vulnerabilities
• Exposing data with insufficient Authorization and Authentication
• The danger of relying on untrusted components
• Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and other application attacks
• Securing APIs and other defensive measures
An overview of cloud security
- Quick Context of Security in the cloud
- General Best Practices
- Networking Services

While security is a top concern in every organization these days, it often gets a bad rap. In many minds, security has the reputation of the bothersome villain who attempts to hinder performance or restrain agility. In this session we will outline three strategies to protect your valuable workloads, without falling into traditional security traps. We will walk through three stories of EC2 security superheroes who saved the day by overcoming compliance and design challenges, using a (not so) secret arsenal of AWS and Trend Micro security tools.
Key takeaways from this session include how to:
- Design a workload-centric security architecture
- Improve visibility of AWS-only or hybrid environments
- Stop patching live instances but still prevent exploits
Speaker: Sasha Pavlovic, Director, Cloud & Datacentre Security, Asia Pacific, Trend Micro
Deep Dive: Developing, Deploying & Operating Mobile Apps with AWS Amazon Web Services
In this session we’ll dive deeper into how you can test mobile applications on real devices, using AWS Device Farm, how to get business insights wirh AWS Mobile Analytics and Amazon Redshift, and keep your customers engaged using Amazon SNS Mobile Push and the new Worldwide Delivery of Amazon SNS Messages via SMS.
In this session, we walk through the Amazon VPC network presentation and describe the problems we were trying to solve when we created it. Next, we walk through how these problems are traditionally solved, and why those solutions are not scalable, inexpensive, or secure enough for AWS. Finally, we provide an overview of the solution that we've implemented and discuss some of the unique mechanisms that we use to ensure customer isolation, get packets into and out of the network, and support new features like VPC endpoints.
Migrating from the data center to the cloud requires users to rethink much of what they do to secure their applications. CloudCheckr COO Aaron Klein will highlight effective strategies and tools that AWS users can employ to improve their security posture. The idea of physical security morphs as infrastructure becomes virtualized by AWS APIs. In a new world of ephemeral, auto-scaling infrastructure, users need to adapt their security architecture to face both compliance and security threats. Specific emphasis will be placed upon leveraging native AWS services and the talk will include concrete steps that users can begin employing immediately. Session sponsored by CloudCheckr.
Creating Your Virtual Data Center: VPC Fundamentals and Connectivity OptionsAmazon Web Services
In this session, we will walk through the fundamentals of Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). First, we will cover build-out and design fundamentals for VPC, including picking your IP space, subnetting, routing, security, NAT, and much more. We will then transition into different approaches and use cases for optionally connecting your VPC to your physical data center with VPN or AWS Direct Connect. This mid-level architecture discussion is aimed at architects, network administrators, and technology decision-makers interested in understanding the building blocks AWS makes available with VPC and how you can connect this with your offices and current data center footprint.
Amazon Aurora is a MySQL-compatible database engine that combines the speed and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. This session introduces you to Amazon Aurora, explains common use cases for the service, and helps you get started with building your first Amazon Aurora–powered application.
Come learn about new and existing Amazon S3 features that can help you better protect your data, save on cost, and improve usability, security, and performance. We will cover a wide variety of Amazon S3 features and go into depth on several newer features with configuration and code snippets, so you can apply the learnings on your object storage workloads.
Protecting a small number of VPCs with a next-generation firewall is relatively easy, but what happens when you have hundreds of VPCs and regularly add more as business groups or new apps come on-line? How can you maintain a prevention architecture without slowing the business? One concept is to build a services VPC that protects your existing and new VPCs. This deep dive session will discuss how to integrate next-generation firewalls in a services VPC with the Palo Alto Networks VM-Series in AWS. Topics will include architectural design considerations, routing recommendations, and dynamic fail-over. Session sponsored by Palo Alto Networks.

Big Data per le Startup: come creare applicazioni Big Data in modalità Server...Amazon Web Services
La varietà e la quantità di dati che si crea ogni giorno accelera sempre più velocemente e rappresenta una opportunità irripetibile per innovare e creare nuove startup.
Tuttavia gestire grandi quantità di dati può apparire complesso: creare cluster Big Data su larga scala sembra essere un investimento accessibile solo ad aziende consolidate. Ma l’elasticità del Cloud e, in particolare, i servizi Serverless ci permettono di rompere questi limiti.
Vediamo quindi come è possibile sviluppare applicazioni Big Data rapidamente, senza preoccuparci dell’infrastruttura, ma dedicando tutte le risorse allo sviluppo delle nostre le nostre idee per creare prodotti innovativi.
Ora puoi utilizzare Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) per eseguire pod Kubernetes su AWS Fargate, il motore di elaborazione serverless creato per container su AWS. Questo rende più semplice che mai costruire ed eseguire le tue applicazioni Kubernetes nel cloud AWS.In questa sessione presenteremo le caratteristiche principali del servizio e come distribuire la tua applicazione in pochi passaggi
Vent'anni fa Amazon ha attraversato una trasformazione radicale con l'obiettivo di aumentare il ritmo dell'innovazione. In questo periodo abbiamo imparato come cambiare il nostro approccio allo sviluppo delle applicazioni ci ha permesso di aumentare notevolmente l'agilità, la velocità di rilascio e, in definitiva, ci ha consentito di creare applicazioni più affidabili e scalabili. In questa sessione illustreremo come definiamo le applicazioni moderne e come la creazione di app moderne influisce non solo sull'architettura dell'applicazione, ma sulla struttura organizzativa, sulle pipeline di rilascio dello sviluppo e persino sul modello operativo. Descriveremo anche approcci comuni alla modernizzazione, compreso l'approccio utilizzato dalla stessa Amazon.com.
Come spendere fino al 90% in meno con i container e le istanze spot Amazon Web Services

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
