  • Nishant Sharma, Jeswin Mathai - Introduction to Azure Security

    Abstract:

    Thursday from 1400 to 1800
    EventBrite Link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nishant...s-378970820927

    In recent times, Azure has become one of the dominant cloud service providers. Most enterprises today have some infrastructure if not all deployed on the cloud and attackers are constantly on the hunt for finding a way into the infrastructure.

    Among the recent cloud hacks, around 97 percent are due to misconfigurations and various surveys suggest that in most cases, people were not aware of how misconfiguration can happen in various circumstances. Azure security is a mammoth in itself and a lot of people struggle in getting started with it, for the same reason many cloud administrators and developers are not aware of how misconfigurations and vulnerable applications can be leveraged to get a foothold on the account.

    This workshop is a power course for Azure security, we will first cover the fundamentals and building blocks of Azure then we will take a look at the threatscape and attack vectors.

    Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate
    Materials Needed: A laptop with the latest web browser and network connectivity
    A Kali VM (Virtual Box, VMWare, WSL)

      I do not work for workshops, or plan contests, events,villages, parties, etc. at DEF CON. You will have to wait for someone from workshops to answer this.

      Apostle, it appears that they are all in Harrah's. If you look at teh eventbrite details it says a name at the beginning (like "Lake Tahoe" or "Copper"). I believe these will be the room names within Harrah's.

      A reason why workshop registration sign-up day/time is announce early, is because they tend to be popular, and registration spots go quickly. Consider this a learning experience for the next time you plan to attend a workshop: make sure to be ready to register the day and time that workshop registrations open, and prioritize the workshops you want to attend to most, first. Most people were unable to get their second choice for a workshop because by the time they completed registration for their first workshop, spots in the next most preferred workshop were also consumed.
