Conversational Security engineering across your aws cloud infrastructure
Saransh Rana
Cloud Village @ DEF CON 33 · Day 1 · Cloud Village
In this insightful talk from Cloud Village, Saransh Rana, a Staff Security Engineer at Grid, introduces the **AWS Security MCP Server**, a novel approach to **conversational security engineering** designed to streamline and enhance security operations within complex AWS environments. The core premise of the talk revolves around transforming traditional, command-line-intensive security tasks into intuitive, natural language conversations with an intelligent application. This innovation addresses the growing challenges faced by security teams, particularly in large-scale cloud infrastructures, where manual investigation, fragmented tooling, and a lack of unified visibility often lead to delayed incident response and incomplete security postures.
