Understanding and applying the AWS Shared Responsibility Model is critical to preventing security issues arising from cloud misconfigurations. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a powerful and flexible cloud computing platform, but like most cloud environments, the security settings out-of-the-box are usually not enough for a production environment. Organizations deploying AWS must take an active role in securing their environments to prevent misconfigurations and vulnerabilities. According to a Gartner survey, misconfiguration-related issues cause 80 percent of all security breaches. The AWS Shared Responsibility Model clarifies the division of security responsibilities between AWS and its customers, ensuring that organizations understand their role in maintaining a secure cloud infrastructure. AWS operates under a Shared Responsibility Model, which delineates security responsibilities between AWS and its customers. AWS is responsible for securing the infrastructure that runs AWS Cloud Services, including hardware, software, networking, and data center facilities. Customers, on the other hand, are responsible for configuring and securing their cloud environments. This includes protecting customer data, securing applications and platforms, managing Identity and Access Management (IAM), implementing server-side encryption, and ensuring network traffic protection. Each AWS customer’s security responsibilities vary based on the AWS services they use, their integration with other services, and their regulatory compliance requirements. Properly understanding and implementing these responsibilities is critical for preventing security breaches. Customers must configure AWS environments themselves to achieve proper security, so there is a risk that misconfigurations will expose organizations to significant security risks… Read the rest of the blog post, Securing Your AWS Environment: Understanding the Shared Responsibility Model here: https://lnkd.in/g8bXzmFm #aws #cloudsecurity #cybersecurity
