Security & IAM
Implement defense in depth with AWS security services and least-privilege IAM policies.
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
