Fixing Cloud Security with AWS Lambda

Fixing Cloud Security with AWS Lambda

How to secure AWS cloud using AWS Lambda? We spoke to Lily Chau from Roku at BSidesSF about her experience and innovative approach to tackling security issues in AWS environments. From deploying IAM roles to creating impactful playbooks with AWS Lambda, Lily shared her take on automating remediation processes. We spoke about the challenges of managing cloud security with tools like CSPM and CNAPP, and how Lily and her team took a different approach that goes beyond traditional methods to achieve real-time remediation.
