In this article we discuss deploying Alteryx in an automated fashion. The defining factor of using public cloud resources is the flexibility of deployment. We eliminate constraints of available hardware, procurement cycles, and having to provide resources for the worst-case scenarios by adding “more” as it fits our tech and budget needs. https://keyrus.cloud/p/capital-one-and-ec2-hack-an-overview/ Mon, 05 Aug 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://keyrus.cloud/p/capital-one-and-ec2-hack-an-overview/ Intro and the attack vector There’s been a ton of coverage of the recently discovered Capital One breach. I’m generally very skeptical when AWS security makes the news; so far, most “breaches” have been a result of the customer implementing AWS services in an insecure manner, usually by allowing unrestricted internet access and often overriding defaults to remove safeguards (I’m looking at you, NICE and Accenture and Dow Jones!). Occasionally, a discovered “AWS vulnerability” impacts a large number of applications in AWS – and it also impacts any similarly-configured applications that are not in AWS (see, for example, this PR piece…um, I mean “article” from SiliconAngle).
