Cloud Security: First Principles and Future Opportunities Part 2 of 5 - Secure by Design: Elevating Security Beyond Defaults

Cloud security is no longer optional-it's essential. As enterprise cloud adoption continues to grow, staying ahead of security risks is a top priority for every security leader. Our Cloud Security: First Principles and Future Opportunities webcast series, excerpted from the SANS Cloud Security Exchange 2024, breaks down the critical components of cloud security into five actionable parts.

Part 2: Secure by Design: Elevating Security Beyond Defaults

In Part 2 of this series, we focus on how Secure by Design (SbD) shifts development approaches to integrate security from the ground up, reducing risks early and creating systems that are resilient and secure by default.

By fostering a security-first culture, embedding security into every development stage, and leveraging closed, secure spaces for engineering activities, SbD minimizes vulnerabilities, reduces the need for reactive fixes, and builds long-term sustainability into your security posture.

Key Takeaways

  • Learn how SbD integrates security into every part of the system, from inception to deployment.
  • Discover how SbD fosters a security-focused culture where security is everyone's responsibility.
  • Explore how automation and threat modeling can help create secure, long-lasting systems and reduce the need for constant updates.

Featured Speakers

  • Paul Vixie, Ph.D, Deputy CISO, Vice President, and Distinguished Engineer, AWS
  • Eric Johnson, Senior Instructor, SANS Institute
