Overview of this book

With organizations moving their workloads, applications, and infrastructure to the cloud at an unprecedented pace, security of all these resources has been a paradigm shift for all those who are responsible for security; experts, novices, and apprentices alike. This book focuses on using native AWS security features and managed AWS services to help you achieve continuous security. Starting with an introduction to Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to secure your AWS VPC, you will quickly explore various components that make up VPC such as subnets, security groups, various gateways, and many more. You will also learn to protect data in the AWS platform for various AWS services by encrypting and decrypting data in AWS. You will also learn to secure web and mobile applications in AWS cloud. This book is ideal for all IT professionals, system administrators, security analysts, solution architects, and chief information security officers who are responsible for securing workloads in AWS for their organizations. This book is embedded with useful assessments that will help you revise the concepts you have learned in this book. This book is repurposed for this specific learning experience from material from Packt's Mastering AWS Security, written by Albert Anthony.

Chapter 2. Data Security in AWS

Data security in the AWS platform can be classified into two broad categories:

  • Protecting data at rest

  • Protecting data in transit

Furthermore, data security has the following components that help in securing data in multiple ways:

  • Data encryption

  • Key Management Services (KMS)

  • Access control

  • AWS service security features

AWS provides you with various tools and services to secure your data in AWS when your data is in transit or when your data is at rest. These tools and services include resource access control using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), data encryption, and managed KMS, such as AWS KMS for creating and controlling keys used for data encryption. The AWS KMS provides multiple options for managing your entire Key Management Infrastructure (KMI). Alternatively, you also have the option to go with the fully managed AWS CloudHSM service, a cloud-based hardware security module (HSM) that helps you generate and use your own keys for encryption purpose...
