Step 1 of 3

Key Takeaways
  • Visibility is the foundation: Establish continuous monitoring of the resources running in your environment. With AWS Config you can assess, audit, and evaluate the configurations of your resources on a continual basis.
  • Centralized logging changes everything: Aggregate all AWS activity through CloudTrail and store logs in secure S3 buckets. When every API call is tracked and centralized, anomaly detection becomes proactive rather than reactive.
  • Unified security posture: AWS Security Hub consolidates findings from GuardDuty, Inspector, and Macie into a single dashboard. Leverage a CNAPP solution for unified security across multi-cloud. Stop juggling multiple security tools and get a centralized view of your security status.

This cheat sheet goes beyond the essential AWS security best practices and offers actionable step-by-step implementations, relevant code snippets, and industry- leading recommendations to fortify your AWS security posture.
