AWS re:Invent 2019: Monitoring anomalous application behavior (NFX205)

Published on Dec 08, 2019

AWS CloudTrail provides a wealth of information on your AWS environment. In addition, teams can use it to perform basic anomaly detection by adding state. In this talk, Travis McPeak of Netflix and Will Bengtson introduce a system built strictly with off-the-shelf AWS components that tracks CloudTrail activity across multi-account environments and sends alerts when applications perform anomalous actions. By watching applications for anomalous actions, security and operations teams can monitor unusual and erroneous behavior. We share everything attendees need to implement CloudTrail in their own organizations.
