In this lightning talk from AWS re:Inforce 2023, Galen Emery of Lacework discusses the importance of integrating security throughout the entire development and operational process. He critiques 'security theater' - practices that provide little real value but are done for compliance or appearance. Emery advocates for a unified approach to security that combines behavioral and policy-based detection, provides context, and is automated. He introduces Lacework's Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) and announces new composite alerts featuring Amazon GuardDuty integration. The talk emphasizes the need for security to be an intrinsic part of product development, similar to how quality assurance is approached.
