Adam Števko - Journey to Securing the Cloud: Detecting and Fixing Misconfigurations at Datadog
Journey to Securing the Cloud: Adam Števko shares best practices for detecting and fixing misconfigurations at Datadog, highlighting the importance of prioritizing tools, integrating security into development, and providing feedback to developers.
- Prioritize using a limited number of tools to detect and fix misconfigurations, and consider the context of the findings.
- Review and analyze the total number of findings, and prioritize remediation based on impact and criticality.
- Implement automated remediation to reduce manual effort and improve efficiency.
- Use tools like Terraform to manage cloud resources and reduce the risk of misconfigurations.
- Engage with developers and stakeholders to ensure that security is integrated into the development process.
- Provide feedback early and often to developers, and make them part of the solution.
- Use a standardized format for reporting and remediation, and provide contextual information to aid in decision-making.
- Implement a systematic approach to response and remediation, and track performance and benchmark remediation and detection.
- Use modularity and simplicity to improve the security posture, and prioritize capabilities over features.
- Integrate security teams with development teams to ensure that security best practices are followed.
- Use open-source solutions, and consider contributing back to the community to improve tooling and remediation.
- Focus on capabilities rather than features, and prioritize practicality over theoretical complexity.
- Improve communication and notification between teams, and ensure that stakeholders are engaged and informed.
