R4-2A. Attracting Cloudy Bees with Honey Clouds
Thursday, June 13, 2024 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM
Room 2A
In the rapidly changing cybersecurity landscape, fully automated and dynamically scaled offensive cloud-targeted attacks are evading some of our strongest defensive strategies. This presentation introduces the " HoneyCloud " project - a novel approach for collecting and analyzing cloud-centric cyber threats. This talk aims to provide a comprehensive understanding and analysis of real-world targeted cloud incidents that were captured in our HoneyCloud environment. We will use these real-world cases to discuss how fully automated and dynamically scaled offensive operations are detected by dynamic and scalable defensive operations. A HoneyCloud can allow researchers to collect malicious operations from live cloud environments forensically, let's learn how to make and use them!
After this session, learner will come away with: - A detailed understanding of what cloud threat actors are targeting - Knowledge of cloud-centric defensive tools and their operation - A top 5 list of security solutions to protect cloud environments
