3 minutes
We had the pleasure of co-hosting a webinar titled “Application Security in AWS: From Basics to Advanced Protection” with Tomasz Wojtas from CLICO. We would like to thank all the participants for their attendance. For those who couldn’t join us, we have prepared a brief summary of the key topics discussed during the session.
The agenda of our webinar included:
- Overview of native AWS security services
- Application Protection Platform solutions
- Comparative analysis – what is missing in AWS?
- Q&A session
Overview of Native AWS Security Services
In the first part of the webinar, we presented a wide range of tools and services offered by AWS that help secure applications. We discussed services such as AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF), Amazon GuardDuty, AWS Shield, AWS Security Hub, as well as functionalities like data encryption (AWS Key Management Service) and event monitoring and logging (AWS CloudTrail and Amazon CloudWatch)
Application Protection Platform Solutions
The next part of the webinar focused on Application Protection Platform solutions that enhance application security. We discussed how these platforms can integrate with the AWS ecosystem, providing additional layers of protection, such as advanced threat detection mechanisms, automated incident response, and compliance with legal regulations.
Legal Regulations and Their Impact on Application Security
We couldn’t overlook the topic of legal regulations, which impose additional requirements and restrictions on organizations. We discussed key regulations such as GDPR, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA, and their impact on managing application security in the cloud. We also shared best practices for compliance with these regulations.
Examples of Real-World Issues and Solutions
We presented examples of real-world security issues at various stages of the application lifecycle (Build/Deploy/Runtime) and ways to solve them. We highlighted common configuration errors, security gaps, and attack techniques that cybercriminals might exploit. We also provided specific examples of tools and procedures that can help in effectively detecting and mitigating these issues.
