Session Info

"She's so charming, why doesn't anyone get it?" For a while after I started supporting her, nobody around me was paying attention to her.

"But it only gives false positives," "I don't know how to operate it properly," the idol otaku back then wouldn't even give her a glance.

"Then I'll show them how to use her right!" That's when I decided to produce her myself. Thanks to those efforts, in 2022, she gained over 50% approval in a Japanese survey.

Especially among mid-sized companies, she reached an 86% approval rate, undoubtedly climbing to become Japan's Top Cloud Security Idol.

What if GuardDuty were an idol!? This is the story of a parallel world where I guide her to become the world's number one Top Cloud Security Idol.

Session Summary (by Amazon Bedrock)
    The speaker, Usuda, discusses his experience with AWS Guard Duty, humorously portraying it as an "idol" he's promoting. He explains the concept of "tsundere" in Japanese subculture, where a character initially appears cold but gradually becomes warmer. Usuda describes his efforts to promote Guard Duty, likening it to producing an idol. He mentions his numerous presentations and blog posts about the service, which have contributed to its popularity among AWS users in Japan. By 2022, Guard Duty had gained over 50% support among Japanese AWS users, with 86% support from mid-sized companies. The presentation outlines Guard Duty's evolution, including its expanding capabilities to detect threats across various AWS services like EC2, S3, ECS, Lambda, and RDS. Notable improvements include malware scanning for EC2 instances and S3 objects, as well as runtime monitoring for EKS environments. Despite its success, some users still find Guard Duty challenging to implement or understand. To address this, Usuda introduces a new service by his company, Method Members, which automates incident investigation and provides visualizations and recommendations based on Guard Duty detections. Usuda emphasizes that his goal is not to promote his company's service but to demonstrate how addressing user pain points can increase adoption of AWS features globally. He encourages others to become "producers" for other AWS services, promoting them and helping them become "top cloud idols." The speaker concludes by urging everyone to use Guard Duty and collaborate in making it the world's top cloud security "idol." He also encourages the audience to find and promote other AWS services that need "producing," aiming to create more top cloud idols together.
