AWS Security Meetup — Melbourne -Jan,2018
Happy New Year everyone!
I decided to kick off my year’s technical meetup with AWS Security Meetup. There were two great talks lined up for the night. I have a short takeaway from the talks for people who were not able to attend. Open for
First talk: Let’s Lambda
The talk was presented by Aurėlien Requiem, Solution Architect in AWS.
During the talk he went into the thought process behind the project and drawing inspiration from “Let’s Encrypt” for the title of the talk.
Aurėlien wrote a set of lambda functions that help him request and manage certificates issued by a service other than Amazon Certificate Manager (ACM). The external service in his case was “Let’s Encrypt”.
The architecture of the tool is shown below:

Second talk : Amazon GuardDuty
The talk was presented by Phil Rodrigues, Principal Security Solution Architect, AWS.
GuardDuty was announced last month at AWS re:invent. I covered that in my security updates from AWS re:invent 2017.
The talk described how customer can use the Guardduty to monitor for malicious or unauthorized behaviour in their AWS Accounts.
Unfortunately, my phone ran out of battery and I had to leave to attend to something so don’t have more screenshots of slide. We should be able to see the slides on the AWS Security Meetup page soon, i think.
