Wait did you say "Drone Manufacturer?!"

Episode Summary

Last week in security news: Cybercrime groups, a report from Popular drone manufacturer CrowdStrike, Role Chain Juggling, and more!

Episode Show Notes

Links:

  • In this down market, it's good to know that jobs paying six (and rarely, seven!) figure salaries, giving bonuses, and of course including paid time off are still out there. Unfortunately they're working for cybercrime groups.
  • Ian McKay is great--but given his history of creating awesome-yet-horrifying things in AWS I read this piece on Cedar (AWS's new policy language) 
  • Popular drone manufacturer CrowdStrike reports on how Adversaries Can Persist with AWS User Federation,
  • How to set up ongoing replication from your third-party secrets manager to AWS Secrets Manager 
  • Want to chain roles in a way that works for more than an hour? Role Chain Juggling has you covered.
