AWS Security Best Practices You Shouldn't Skip

AWS is secure by design, but security in the cloud is a shared responsibility. These are the practices that prevent the most common, costly mistakes.

The essentials

• Enforce MFA and avoid using the root account
• Apply least-privilege IAM policies and roles
• Encrypt data at rest and in transit by default
• Enable CloudTrail, GuardDuty, and Security Hub
• Lock down S3 buckets — public exposure is a top breach cause

We secure and continuously monitor AWS environments to these standards.
