Session
This hands-on workshop dives into real-world AWS misconfigurations that attackers actively
exploit to gain privilege escalation and access sensitive data. You’ll step into the shoes of an
adversary and learn how common oversights like loose IAM roles, misconfigured Cognito
identity pools, or exposed metadata endpoints can be chained into full-blown breaches.
