Overview

Cloud security requires comprehensive strategies spanning identity management, encryption, network controls, compliance, and threat detection. Implement defense-in-depth with multiple layers of protection and continuous monitoring.

When to Use

• Protecting sensitive data in cloud
• Compliance with regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS)
• Implementing zero-trust security
• Securing multi-cloud environments
• Threat detection and response
• Identity and access management
• Network isolation and segmentation
• Encryption and key management

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# Enable GuardDuty (threat detection)
aws guardduty create-detector \
  --enable \
  --finding-publishing-frequency FIFTEEN_MINUTES

# Enable CloudTrail (audit logging)
aws cloudtrail create-trail \
  --name organization-trail \
  --s3-bucket-name audit-bucket \
  --is-multi-region-trail

# Enable S3 bucket encryption by default
aws s3api put-bucket-encryption \
  --bucket my-bucket \
  --server-side-encryption-configuration '{
    "Rules": [{
      "ApplyServerSideEncryptionByDefault": {
        "SSEAlgorithm": "aws:kms",
        "KMSMasterKeyID": "arn:aws:kms:region:account:key/key-id"
      },
      "BucketKeyEnabled": true
    }]
  }'
