AWS Associate & Security L-3

AWS Associate certifications validate foundational to intermediate cloud expertise, covering services like EC2, S3, RDS, and networking. AWS Security focuses on securing cloud environments using IAM, encryption, threat detection, and compliance frameworks. It involves implementing security best practices, such as the Principle of Least Privilege, monitoring with AWS Security Hub, and automating security responses with AWS Lambda. Both domains ensure secure, scalable, and efficient cloud operations.

Task 1 Preventing Data Breaches with AWS Security

Challenge:
An e-commerce company accidentally exposed customer data in an S3 bucket due to a misconfiguration. Additionally, unauthorized login attempts were detected, indicating a credential compromise and also website has down.

Solution: Detection

Amazon Macie detected exposed PII in S3.

AWS GuardDuty flagged suspicious API activity.

AWS CloudTrail tracked unauthorized IAM access.

AWS WAF&SHIELD provide protection of common attack or DDOS protection.

Mitigation:

S3 Block Public Access secured the bucket.

IAM Least Privilege restricted permissions.

AWS Secrets Manager rotated compromised credentials.

AWS WAF & Shield protected against malicious traffic.

Prevention:

AWS Security Hub for continuous threat monitoring.

AWS Config for enforcing security compliance.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enabled for IAM users.

Outcome:
✔ Data secured within minutes.
✔ Unauthorized access blocked.
✔ Regulatory compliance maintained.
