AWS Security (Paperback)

Running your systems in the cloud doesn't automatically make them secure. To create secure applications and infrastructure on AWS, you need to understand the tools and features the platform provides and learn new approaches to configuring and managing them. Written by security engineer Dylan Shields, AWS Security provides comprehensive coverage on the key tools and concepts you can use to defend AWS-based systems. You'll learn how to honestly assess your existing security protocols, protect against the most common attacks on cloud applications, and apply best practices to configuring Identity and Access Management and Virtual Private Clouds. about the technology Rapid iteration, easy scaling, and huge savings have caused a mass migration to AWS. However, running in the cloud requires you to modify the security practices you use in on-prem infrastructure. Users of AWS who fail to adapt run the risk of exposing their business and their customers to an attack. Luckily, AWS comes with a stack of tools and services that offer a high level of control over your cloud security. about the book AWS Security is an invaluable guide that you'll want to have on hand when you're facing any cloud security problem. With a cookbook-style delivery, it's filled with well-documented examples and procedures you can apply to common AWS security issues. This book covers best practices for access policies, data protection, auditing, continuous monitoring, and incident response. You'll also explore several deliberately insecure applications, including a social media site and a mobile app, learning the exploits and vulnerabilities commonly used to attack them and the security practices to counter those attacks. With this practical primer, you'll be well prepared to evaluate your system's security, detect threats, and respond with confidence. what's inside Securely grant access to AWS resources to coworkers and customers Develop policies for ensuring proper access controls Lock-down network controls using VPCs Record audit logs and use them to identify attacks Track and assess the security of an AWS account Common attacks and vulnerabilities about the reader For software and security engineers building and securing AWS applications. about the author Dylan Shields is a software engineer working on Quantum Computing at AWS.
