Modernization is a critical business priority. Security is one of the key concerns for all those who would want to come onto the cloud. It could be an enterprise, a start-up or a small business – they all worry about that data. The main question is – How to SECURE the Data?
An AWS (Amazon Web Services) Security Assessment is a process that involves evaluating the security posture of an organization's AWS infrastructure and resources. It provides industry-standard insights on how your AWS account is configured and managed using the best corporate practices and recommendations.
Core Objectives
- Ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and services hosted on AWS
- Identify potential security risks, vulnerabilities, and weaknesses in the AWS environment
- Recommend measures to mitigate risks
Deliverables
- Using a variety of technologies to scan and audit the AWS infrastructure to find any potential weak points
- Risk identification and classification based on possible effects on your company, including data breaches
- Testing the resilience of your AWS environment by simulating attacks (Penetration Testing)
- Evaluating the performance of access restrictions, such as AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies, to guarantee that only services and users with permission are granted the necessary access levels
- Evaluation of network architecture and configuration for security best practices
- Analyzing the techniques for encrypting and safeguarding data when it's in motion and at rest
- Verifying compliance with industry standards and regulations relevant to the organization, such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, or GDPR
- Event monitoring, notification, and documentation of actions that deviate from the established usual range, bringing possible problems to light
- Evaluating the suitability of settings for monitoring and logging to identify and address security incidents. This may involve the use of AWS CloudWatch Logs, AWS CloudTrail, and other monitoring tools.
- Identifying potential in-house threats facilitating a higher level of security sensitivity and preparedness
