Design-Build-Iterate for Security and Save yourself from a $1 Million cloud bill

Yes, following best practices for various Terraform workloads is imperative. But what about the foundational security of cloud infrastructure — especially in the context of a non-end-user company handling a fleet of 400+ projects with a daily AUC of 1,200?

In this session, Prerit will guide you through their cloud security advancement journey using HashiCorp Terraform/OpenTofu. Starting with the replication of a crypto-mining attack that incurred nearly $1 million in damages over just one weekend, we'll dissect the root cause analysis. From there, we’ll explore how they implemented 21,000+ quotas across 25 Google Cloud services seamlessly across the expansive fleet of 400+ projects and made sure that the added restrictions really enhanced the security posture. You’ll also learn about the minimal effort involved in the development and architecture of an in-house product through which they efficiently implemented quotas and metrics management.

The audience(Dev+Sec+Ops teams) will gain practical insights into creating meaningful security boundaries across all layers of their technological footprint.
