Mitigating Layer 7 Threats to E-commerce IAM Solution with WAF

Room: Zaal 9 | Time: 15:30 | Duration: 60

Throughout this presentation, we will together trace the story of an attack targeted at an e-commerce system. I will share my experiences, attempts at mitigation, and the conclusions we drew from this incident to improve our defenses. Analogous to passport control at a border, we decided on a security method that relies on verifying the user through the analysis of unique browser characteristics - a digital fingerprint, instead of solely relying on traditional security methods.

More Network Security: Forward Proxy on AWS Network Firewall & Fargate

Room: Zaal 8 | Time: 15:30 | Duration: 60

We’ve crafted a robust, scalable forward proxy solution integrating AWS Network Firewall, Squid Proxy, Fluentbit, Dnsmasq, and Telegraf - all components in containers. 🌐 The AWS Network Firewall serves as a transparent proxy, applying stateful and stateless whitelist blocking rules. 🦑 Squid Proxy, operating as an explicit proxy, is deployed in an ECS container alongside Fluentbit, which forwards logs to AWS CloudWatch. 🔧 Dnsmasq, also in an ECS container, resolves DNS issues related to Let’s Encrypt, ensuring smooth SSL/TLS certificate management.

OCR-ing with AWS managed services

Room: Silent Disco | Time: 15:30 | Duration: 60

In today’s digital age, efficiently processing and extracting text from scanned documents and images is crucial for many businesses. This session will explore how to leverage AWS managed services to perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) effectively. Attendees will be introduced to AWS Textract, a powerful OCR service that automatically extracts printed text, handwriting, and data from documents. Key features such as form extraction will be covered and how to improve inaccurate extracts by creating adapters and integrating other AWS services like Augmented AI for a comprehensive document processing pipeline.

Serverless as an Orchestration Platform - Managing cloud video editing workloads with Lambda.

Room: Zaal 7 | Time: 15:30 | Duration: 60

People often think Serverless is just used for building simple web apps, but it can do so much more. In this talk we show how we use Serverless services to automate AWS account creation, provisioning and managing GPU powered video editing suits, automating media workflows and much more. Combining Serverless solutions with more traditional architectures can result in incredibly versatile and powerful products.
