Join us for a day long jam. We will provide the beat and the incident response scenarios where you can learn new skills and practice current ones against a set of simulated security incidents. Can you identify what caused the blues? What would you do differently? How can you architect multiple AWS services to prevent it from happening again? How do you automate the incident response? Take part in our jam to find out!
If you get excited about securing your stuff, challenge your skillset while learning some new techniques. The AWS security community will be on-hand to help you complete a series of incident response simulations and to build native cloud solutions. This is the opportunity to leverage a wide range of AWS services with a focus on performing incident investigation and recovery.
As the challenges develop, you will take the initial infrastructure, and challenge by challenge, improve it into a resilient and secure deployment. Use your knowledge of AWS services and information security to perform incident response in the cloud and forensic analysis to find out whodunit! We will have a number of experienced AWS experts in the room that will be available to discuss ideas, provide guidance and in general help your team get through any roadblocks that pop up.
New to AWS? New to security? Come and join us! Our activities are structured to accommodate AWS users of all levels. We have AWS experts, plus guided exercises, that will ramp up your security knowledge. Put your skills and creativity to the test by producing innovative solutions for a secure deployment.

FAQ
What is the Security Jam?
A fun, action packed day, consisting of a series of challenges related to incident response, forensics and security automation. We will provide you and your team with access to pre-created infrastructure and your task is to identify what has happened, how to respond, and deploy appropriate countermeasures. There will be opportunity to devise unique and creative solutions that will be judged at the end of the day.
Challenges will have points associated with them and live score tables will be shown in the room. There will be additional points available for solutions that are particularly creative and which will be attributed by our judge panel. A special souvenir will be awarded to the top three finalists. No time limits, only right answers and creativity grant you points!
I've registered for re:Invent 2016 already. How do I register for the Security Jam?
Log back into your re:Invent account, click "Purchase Additional Registration Items," and then select "Security Jam." Note: You’ll only be able to register for one activity on Monday. Once registration fills up, you’ll automatically be put on the waitlist. If you are on the waitlist, we will notify you if a seat becomes available.
Do I need a team?
No. We will stage participants into teams of four based on skill set and experience. That is the spirit of jamming! It also makes the event more interesting and improves the learning experience as you get to meet peers you would not normally work with. If you want to form a team in advance, each team member is required to register. Please arrive onsite together.
Do I need AWS or security experience in order to participate?
The challenges will have varying degrees of difficulty, and we will provide clues and guidance for those newer to AWS services. We find that it is important to have experience in at least one of the two. If you are an AWS guru, this can be an opportunity to learn from the security experts and vice versa. If you are a master of both, you will definitely enjoy the challenges we have prepared for you!
What equipment do I need to bring with me?
Your laptop, charger and any external devices you may require. We also welcome fun mascots!
What will AWS be providing?
We will provide food and beverages (a light breakfast, lunch, snacks and beverages), power strips, Wi-Fi access and a memorable day.
Do I need an AWS account to participate?
We will provide you with access to AWS services for the duration of the event.
How much does it cost to participate in the Security Jam?
Nothing. Zilch. Nada. The event is free and open to attendees with a full conference pass.
