Sakina Mithani is a Senior Cloud Security Engineer at Roblox. Having worked in both cloud-native and hybrid-cloud environments, she has extensive experience managing large cloud organizations and partnering with fast-moving product teams to deploy secure infrastructure. Currently, she utilizes native and custom solutions to build org-wide guardrails across AWS and GCP, harden compute environments, and establish robust data perimeters for sensitive assets.
As a first-time speaker (not just at fwd:cloudsec, but at any conference!), Sakina is incredibly excited to share her cloud security experiences with the community!
Session
Agentic coding tools are the new frontier of developer velocity…but giving an autonomous agent access to your proprietary IP and an internet connection? Sounds like a data exfiltration nightmare. In the world of AI-assisted engineering, we found that exfiltration is often just one clever prompt injection away.
This talk presents a production-hardened architecture built on AWS EC2 to safely harness AI agents without compromising proprietary data. We will move beyond standard Security Groups and VPC Endpoints to detail a zero-trust sandbox featuring a TLS-decrypting Squid proxy for deep content inspection, coupled with Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall and GuardDuty for lateral movement constraints.
Learn how to build a multi-layered defense that keeps pace with the 'Centaur's Stride' - balancing a paranoid security posture with the frictionless speed developers actually need to stay productive
