NEW YORK, Aug. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Fireglass, the leader in web isolation, is set to present a technical session at Black Hat Conference 2016 titled "Account Jumping Post Infection Persistency & Lateral Movement in AWS" on Wednesday, August 3, 2016 from 4:20-5:10 p.m. PT. Fireglass' Co-founder and CTO Dan Amiga and Security Research Team Leader Dor Knafo will highlight their recent findings of multiple AWS vulnerabilities allowing attackers to access production environments, evade AWS auditing service and maintain persistency despite being detected. The session will conclude with best practices for protecting administrators including automation and isolation.
Amiga, who has spent years in the Israeli Intelligence innovating new approaches for cyber security, says: "Administrators might be unaware of the various tools and techniques attackers utilize to take control over AWS accounts. If you're using AWS and concerned about your environment security, you should join us at Black Hat".
