Section 1:AWS Security Fundamentals

Before you start your journey into security with AWS, you first need to grasp a few fundamental concepts. This book begins with the AWS shared responsibility model, explaining the differences between security “in” the cloud and security “of” the cloud. The book also breaks down the responsibilities that you, the customer, hold regarding security compared with those AWS has as the cloud provider.

Next, the book dives into a quick review of AWS’s essential services and discusses how they relate to security. The exam asks questions on many of these services. Having an understanding of the purpose and abilities of these is vital for your successful dissection of the question and the basis of its query.

This should be combined with a consideration of some of the pertinent reasons as to why security should be at the forefront when building your AWS environments. Finally, as we wrap up the section, we look at some of the top attacks our cloud environments can fall vulnerable to, and some ways to mitigate those risks.

This section comprises the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, AWS Shared Responsibility Model
  • Chapter 2, Fundamental AWS Services
  • Chapter 3, Understanding Attacks on Cloud Environments
