Synopsis: My grandmother used to say, "Mussolini may have been a dictator, but he made the trains run on time". That was my grandmother, she baked some delicious cookies, but she was a bit of a fascist.
Democracies grow stronger with free exchange of information, but they make poor role models for network security. Networks in general are most secure when we apply authoritarian/autocratic models.
Secure networks crave draconian enforcement, extensive surveillance, active censorship, and bare bones privacy.
This presentation will show how we can map dictatorship style controls to public cloud deployments in order to eliminate troublemakers.
Like Col. Nathan Jessep said in a Few Good Men "You want me on that wall... You need me on that wall".
We will all sleep better at night with Nathan Jessep keeping an eye on our cloud deployments.
