AWS security architecture with IAM, GuardDuty, and Security Hub

Security is foundational to cloud architecture. We implement multiple layers of security controls following AWS Well-Architected Framework best practices.

Security components:

  • IAM Identity Center - Centralized access management with SSO
  • IAM Roles & Policies - Least-privilege access with service-linked roles
  • GuardDuty - Threat detection and continuous monitoring
  • Security Hub - Centralized security findings and compliance checks
  • WAF & Shield - Web application and DDoS protection

Key Concepts

  • MFA enforcement for all human users
  • Service control policies for organization guardrails
  • Secrets Manager for credential rotation
  • KMS for encryption key management
  • VPC endpoints for private AWS API access
