Upcoming
AWS re:Invent 2026
Selected to present four sessions, one of them twice.
Policy to Proof: govern deployments at machine speed (SEC348) Builders’ session, level 300, hands-on. Build a CI/CD pipeline that validates templates against policy rules with cfn-guard, deploys with CloudFormation, evaluates with AWS Config after deployment, and produces a compliance report as a pipeline artifact. Laptop required.
Stop troubleshooting your AWS network from memory and stale diagrams (SEC371-R, SEC371-R1) Chalk talk, level 300, delivered twice. Point AI-assisted tooling at a live environment to map every resource, trace traffic paths, and find misconfigurations before they become incidents — then modernize what you find with current AWS network security capabilities.
Crossing the kill chain: IR when attackers pivot between clouds (SEC412) Chalk talk, level 400. Whiteboarding detection and response for cross-cloud lateral movement, where the kill chain crosses a boundary no single-cloud tool can follow. Uses Security Hub, Inspector, and multicloud telemetry.
From repeated remediation to permanent prevention at scale (SEC428) Chalk talk, level 400. Take one real AWS Security Hub finding category through four control layers: an SCP that prevents the misconfiguration, a Guard rule that catches it before deployment, an AWS Config rule that detects existing violations, and AI-generated auto-remediation that corrects drift.
