Topic Abstract:
Cloud architecture has provided flexibility and agility to organizations and developers not yet seen before. Cyber Security practitioners must evolve to meet and operate at these speeds and utilize the same tools and techniques that DevOps engineers utilize to move at the speed that cloud computing provides. While architecture and design are critical to cloud security – it could be argued that Incident Response is an incredible enabler for continuous development and freedom of action for businesses to innovate. The ability to orchestrate monitoring and provide incident response actions in case any events require response actions. Also, the ability to scale automatically as well as orchestration of storage options provides an untold capability to respond at the speed of code/business. Utilizing – infrastructure as code enables an incident responder to ensure to contain, isolate, gather information, and recover in minutes rather than the usual days for incident response in production environments.
