Security in the cloud is similar to security in on-premises data centres. But without the costs and complexities of protecting facilities and hardware, says Technical Instructor Adrian Smith. The three-day Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Engineering course shows how you can achieve security through visibility, auditability, and controllability. Learn how to maximise cloud benefits such as agility and automation. These principles are just some of the tenets of the AWS Well-Architected Framework security pillar.

#𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗪𝗦 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱: Security in AWS Cloud is 𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 between 𝗔𝗪𝗦 and its 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀, referred to as 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹. This model outlines who is responsible for what aspects of security. Below is an overview of the security aspects in AWS Cloud and how they are managed: #𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹: *𝗔𝗪𝗦 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 (Security of the Cloud): AWS is responsible for protecting the infrastructure that runs all of the services offered in the AWS Cloud. This 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲𝘀 hardware, software, networking, and the physical facilities in which AWS operates. Examples: Data center security, physical hardware, network infrastructure, and hypervisors. *𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 (Security in the Cloud): Customers are responsible for securing the applications and data they store in AWS. They control what security settings to use for services such as EC2, S3, RDS, etc. 𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀: Data encryption, managing access permissions, configuring security groups, setting up firewalls, and more. #AWS_Cloud. #Security_Shared_Responsibility.

📢Day 13 notes: Essential AWS Components: EC2, AMIs, Key Pairs, and Security Groups In the AWS ecosystem, key components like EC2, AMIs, key pairs, and security groups play pivotal roles in building scalable and secure cloud environments. Let's explore these essentials briefly. 🖇 EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud): EC2 provides resizable virtual servers in the cloud, offering flexibility and scalability for various workloads. 🖇 AMI (Amazon Machine Image): AMIs are pre-configured templates used to launch EC2 instances, ensuring consistency and efficiency in deployment. 🖇 Key Pairs: Key pairs enable secure SSH access to EC2 instances, enhancing security through asymmetric encryption methods. 🖇 Security Groups: Security groups act as virtual firewalls, controlling inbound and outbound traffic to EC2 instances based on defined rules. Conclusion: Understanding EC2, AMIs, key pairs, and security groups is crucial for harnessing the full potential of AWS. These components empower users to build resilient and secure cloud infrastructures, driving innovation and agility. #cloudwithexlearn #cloudtraining #45daysofcloud #ec2 #security #ami #cloudcomputing

Ensure Secure Data Processing Even with Root User Access with AWS Nitro Enclaves Maintain administrative control while safeguarding sensitive data: Isolated Execution: Even with root user access, the underlying EC2 instance cannot access data within the enclave. Granular Access Control: Define specific permissions for enclave access and data processing. Enhanced Security Posture: Strengthen your overall security posture with an additional layer of protection. Gain peace of mind with secure enclaves, even with root user access, using AWS Nitro Enclaves. Learn more about AWS services on the AWS official site.

In this blog, I’m focusing on the essential AWS Config Rules that are vital for securing and maintaining compliance across various AWS services. These rules automate the continuous evaluation of your AWS environment, ensuring that resources like EC2 instances, IAM roles, S3 buckets, and more adhere to best practices. Whether it’s enforcing encryption, detecting public access, or ensuring proper resource configurations, AWS Config Rules provide a proactive approach to identifying misconfigurations and potential vulnerabilities. Implementing these rules helps simplify compliance management while enhancing the security and reliability of your cloud infrastructure. Please check the attached document below for the detailed list of recommended AWS Config Rules across different services. #AWS #Amazon #AWSConfigRule #security #cloudsecurity #CSPM #cloudcomputing #cloud #cloud #technology #information #informationtechnology

🌟 Day 2 of #100DaysOfCode 🌟 Today, I explored Cloud Security in the AWS environment. Here’s what I learned: 🔐 AWS Shared Responsibility Model: - AWS handles security of the cloud (infrastructure, regions, and data centers). - Customers manage security in the cloud (data protection, encryption, and access control). 👤 Protecting the AWS Root User: - Strong passwords, disabling root access keys, and enabling MFA are essential. - MFA adds an extra layer of protection, requiring two forms of verification for root access.
