Security of your AWS infrastructure is ultimately up to you. As the largest cloud services provider, AWS invests heavily to ensure its cloud environment is secure. Much of AWS security is still left to the customer, especially with regard to managing identities and access. In this blog, I will share a set of seven simple rules to improve AWS security and reduce the likelihood of unwanted incidents. These rules will also get you on an effective path to better optimizing your AWS infrastructure and its maintenance processes. Mistakes related to infrastructure maintenance and support, mistakes when creating applications, and application hacks and infrastructure attacks that target inherent vulnerabilities can all be addressed with the following AWS security hardening algorithm. This algorithm includes mitigating AWS security vulnerabilities and other security risks, applying tags to different AWS resource groups, logging and monitoring with AWS tools, security scanning, and mitigating AWS security vulnerabilities and other risks. Additionally, it is important to rotate the database access parameters used by applications and users, and to perform a component-by-component disaster recovery check of your system. Following these steps will help you significantly reduce the likelihood and impact of security incidents on your AWS infrastructure and apps.
