      Security on AWS

      AWS delivers a scalable cloud computing platform with high availability and dependability that provides the tools to enable you to run a wide range of applications. These tools assist you in protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your systems and data.

      The AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate exam focuses on how to use the AWS tool set to secure your account and your environment. The Security domain is 15 percent of this exam!

Shared Responsibility Model

      Before we go into the details of how AWS secures its resources, we talk about how security in the cloud is different than security in your on-premises datacenters. When you move computer systems and data to the cloud, security responsibilities become shared between you and your Cloud Services Provider (CSP). In this case, AWS is responsible for securing the underlying infrastructure that supports the cloud, and you’re responsible for anything that you put on the cloud or connect to the cloud. This shared responsibility model can reduce your operational burden in many ways, and in some cases, it may even improve your default security posture without any additional action on your part.

      The amount of security configuration work you have to do varies depending on which services you select and how you evaluate the sensitivity of your data. However, there are certain security features – such as individual user accounts and credentials, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) for data transmissions to encrypt data in transit, encryption of data at rest, and user activity logging – that you should configure no matter which AWS service you use.

AWS Security Responsibilities

      AWS is responsible for protecting the global infrastructure that runs all of the services offered in the AWS Cloud. This infrastructure is composed of the hardware, software, networking, and facilities that run AWS Cloud services. Protecting this infrastructure is AWS number one priority. Although you can’t visit our datacenters or offices to see this protection firsthand, we provide several reports from third-party auditors, which have verified our compliance with a variety of relevant computer security standards and regulations.
