Summary
Amazon's Chief Information Security Officer, CJ Moses, outlines the company's robust cybersecurity strategies that have effectively defended its cloud services from trillions of cyber threats. Key tools like MadPot and Sonaris enhance security by identifying malicious activities through honeypots and analyzing network traffic. MadPot, a global honeypot system, captures intelligence from around 750 million daily attacks, while Sonaris prevents 2.7 trillion attempts to exploit vulnerabilities on EC2 instances. Moses highlights that 99 percent of DDoS attacks against AWS are automatically mitigated, ensuring a secure environment for customers without their awareness of the threats.
