On the eve of re:Invent 2018, I’m pleased to announce that AWS is launching our first conference dedicated to cloud security: AWS re:Inforce. The event will offer a deep dive into the latest approaches to security best practices and risk management utilizing AWS services, features, and tools. Security is the top priority at AWS, and AWS re:Inforce is emblematic of our commitment to giving direct access to customers to the latest security research and trends from subject matter experts, along with the opportunity to participate in hands-on exercises with our services.
The inaugural AWS re:Inforce, a hands-on gathering of like-minded security professionals, will take place in Boston, MA on June 25th and 26th, 2019 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. The cost for a full conference pass will be $1,099.
Over the course of this two-day conference we will offer multiple content tracks designed to meet the needs of security and compliance professionals, from C-suite executives to security engineers, developers, risk and compliance officers, and more. Our technical track will offer detailed tactical education to take your security posture from reactive to proactive. We’ll also be offering a business enablement track tailored to assisting with your strategic migration decisions. You’ll find content delivered in a number of formats to meet a diversity of learning preferences, including keynotes, breakout sessions, Q&As, hands-on workshops, simulations, training and certification, as well as our interactive Security Jam. We anticipate 100+ sessions ranging in levels of ability from beginner to expert.
AWS re:Inforce will also feature our AWS Security Competency Partners, each of whom has demonstrated success in building products and solutions on AWS to support customers in multiple domains. With hundreds of industry-leading products, these partners will give you an opportunity to learn how to enhance the security of both on-premises and cloud environments.
Finally, you’ll find sessions built around the Security Pillar of Well Architected and the Security Perspective of our Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF). These will include Identity & Access Management, Infrastructure Security, Detective Controls, Governance, Risk & Compliance, Data Protection & Privacy, Configuration & Vulnerability Management, Security Services, and Incident Response. Our automated reasoning, cryptography researchers and scientists will also be available, as well as our partners in the academic community discussing Provable Security and additional emerging security trends.
