As more customers adopt Amazon Virtual Private Cloud architectures, the features and flexibility of the service are squaring off against increasingly complex design requirements. This session follows the evolution of a single regional VPC into a multi-VPC, multi-region design with diverse connectivity into on-premises systems and infrastructure. Along the way, we investigate creative customer solutions for scaling and securing outbound VPC traffic, managing multi-tenant VPCs, conducting VPC-to-VPC traffic, extending corporate federation and name services into VPC, running multiple hybrid environments over AWS Direct Connect, and integrating corporate multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) clouds into multi-region VPCs.

The AWS cloud infrastructure has been architected to be one of the most flexible and secure cloud computing environments available today. Security for AWS is about three related elements: visibility, auditability, and control. You have to know what you have and where it is before you can assess the environment against best practices, internal standards, and compliance standards. Controls enable you to place precise, well-understood limits on the access to your information. Did you know, for example, that you can define a rule that says that “Tom is the only person who can access this data object that I store with Amazon, and he can only do so from his corporate desktop on the corporate network, from Monday-Friday 9-5 and when he uses MFA?”. That’s the level of granularity you can choose to implement if you wish. In this session, we’ll cover these topics to provide a practical understanding of the security programs, procedures, and best practices you can use to enhance your current security posture. Speakers: Rob Whitmore, AWS Solutions Architect

Have you noticed the OpenSSF Scorecard badges on the official Dart and Flutter repos? It's Google's way of showing that they care about security. Practices such as pinning dependencies, branch protection, required reviews, continuous integration tests etc. are measured to provide a score and accompanying badge. You can do the same for your projects, and this presentation will show you how, with an emphasis on the unique challenges that come up when working with Dart and Flutter. The session will provide a walkthrough of the steps involved in securing a first repository, and then what it takes to repeat that process across an organization with multiple repos. It will also look at the ongoing maintenance involved once scorecards have been implemented, and how aspects of that maintenance can be better automated to minimize toil.
