Cloud Security's About the Details

How would an Amazon Web Services attacker manage to get their instance loaded on the same physical machine, given that an EC2 customer ostensibly has no control over where in the cloud they are located (beyond some control over the geographical region where they are loaded)? It would seem pretty difficult, but this provides for a perfect example of the sort of ingenuity that cloud attackers can dream up. A team of researchers at MIT and UCSD wrote a paper on research in which they used what they called “cloud cartography” to learn about the mapping of new instances spawned within EC2 to physical IP addresses within Amazon address spaces.

The June issue of the Alert is now available to CSI members! This month we tackle DevOps. One network and data center trend we’ve been following with interest here at CSI is what could perhaps be called a movement. It’s called DevOps, a sort of contraction of development and operations, with one of its key motivations being to increase the cooperation between those who develop enterprise applications and those who have to keep them running reliably in production environments.

CSI WEBINARS

With today's advanced persistent threats, finding answers to "Who attacked the network?", "What were they after?", "How much did they see?" and "What is my exposure?" isn't easy. It requires complete access to every packet of information surrounding a security event alert. You need an ultimate forensics solution to provide you constant surveillance of every activity crossing your network.

Join Robert Richardson, Computer Security Institute (CSI) Director, Peter Schlampp, Solera Networks VP of Marketing and Project Management, and Doug Hurd, Sourcefire Director of Technical Alliances to find out what you've been missing.

CSI FILTER -- Security's Virtual Conference

CSI FILTER, the virtual video conference focusing on infrastructure changes that are being implemented to achieve business agility -- virtualization, cloud computing, and Web 2.0 SOA Applications -- debuted on April 8, 2010 and was greeted with enthusiasm and active participation from SECURITY IT executives. Final registration count included 623 registrants - with almost 45% actively participating over the course of the 4 hour presentation.

As attendees seek to find information that is "filtered down" and solutions that can be implemented immediately, an exchange that is both cost and time efficient is critical and FILTER offers just that and more! Described by participants as "curve wrecking" and "full of great information" - it is clear the FILTER FORUM will become a staple to CSI's offerings.

And, be sure to mark your calendar for FILTER II - November 18, 2010.
