Secure Data using Amazon Web Services
The trend for cloud-based architecture is rising with more and more organizations accepting it as the most efficient way to manage their digital presence. Unfortunately, with the rise in hackers and their advanced methods for invading privacy, one should be more careful. Even after taking steps to prevent cyber threats and malware attacks, hackers using ingenious technologies find a way to get in.
So, how do I ensure that my organization is completely secure from these threats?
Using automation for regular cloud deployment is just one of the techniques to keep a check on it, too to be doubly sure you also have the choice to test it manually via logging. Cloud design enhances the safety with tools that embed security into the script of deployments by automating permissions, tracking usage and continuously monitoring deployments.
Identity and Access Control: IAM allows access to resources by authentication (sign-in) and authorization (permissions) in an automated manner. On an organization level where different users may need access to the backend, IAM has created an efficient solution by enabling you to create groups based on job roles and edit or add permissions to specific user/group individually.
Data Security: Protecting the information in transit with the assistance of encryption helps decrease reduction even if there is an invasion. Amazon Web Services data storage solutions such as EBS, S3 database and volumes such as RDS, DynamoDB, ElasticCache for Redis are outfitted with the most recent encryption methods.
Default security capacities in S3 include encrypting objects using server-side encryption using S3-managed keys (SSE-S3) or KMS-managed keys (SSE-KMS). While utilizing server-side encryption, S3 automatically deletes items when you save them and decrypts when needed. AWS delivery and networking services like load balancer and CloudFront service SSL certificates for the secure transmission of information in staging.
Automated Tracking & Tracking: This helps attain steady development in security by encrypting infrastructure code, monitoring user logins and setting contingency customized alerts in the event of an invasion. AWS Config tracks and monitors AWS resource settings and allows an automated test for safety auditing and Tracking.
AWS CloudTrail increases monitoring of consumers on root and logging resource allocation by documenting AWS Management Console actions and all API calls/builds. Close and constant monitoring can be further strengthened by minding AWS Lambda to send alarms in case of non-compliance and initiate auto-remediation including denying access and auto-correction of specific conditions.
