  a\n   cloud-native way\n   When: Friday\, Aug 12\, 12:10 - 12:30 PDT\n

 eakerBio:Jay Chen\n   Jay Chen is a security researcher with Palo Alto Net
 works. He has\n   extensive research experience in cloud-native\, public c
 louds\, and edge\n   computing. His current research focuses on investigat
 ing the\n   vulnerabilities\, design flaws\, and adversary tactics in clou
 d-native\n   technologies. In the past\, he also researched Blockchain and
  mobile\n   cloud security. Jay has authored 20+ academic and industrial p
 apers.\n\n   Description:\n   Our research shows that the number of known 
 ransomware attacks grew\n   85%\, and the ransom demand climbed 144% (2.2M
 ) from 2020 to 2021. The\n   abundant data stored in the cloud make them l
 ucrative targets for\n   ransomware actors. Due to the fundamental differe
 nce between the\n   cloud-native and on-premises IT infrastructure\, exist
 ing ransomware\n   will not be effective in cloud environments. Ransomware
  actors will\n   need new TTPs to achieve successful disruption and extort
 ion. What are\n   the weaknesses that attackers are likely to exploit? Wha
 t types of\n   cloud resources are more susceptible to ransomware attacks?
  How may\n   ransomware disrupt cloud workloads? This research aims to ide
 ntify the\n   possible TTPs using the knowledge of known ransomware and cl
 oud\n   security incidents. I will also demonstrate POC attacks that abuse
  a\n   few APIs to quickly render a large amount of cloud-hosted data\n   
 inaccessible. My goal is not to create fear\, uncertainty\, and doubt\n   
 but to help clarify the risk and mitigation strategy.\n   '\n\n   1. https
