Introduction
Get to know the different services offered by AWS to keep the data and applications secure.
As businesses increasingly rely on AWS for their infrastructure needs, ensuring robust security measures becomes crucial to protect against threats such as data breaches, unauthorized access, and service disruptions. AWS offers a comprehensive set of security and compliance services and features, including encryption, monitoring, and compliance tools, to help users safeguard their resources and data. By implementing these security measures, organizations can maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their data and applications, build trust with customers, and comply with regulatory requirements.
In this section, we'll discuss the security services that we can use to implement the required level of security and compliance in our account.
We’ll start off by discussing the AWS KMS, a key management service offered by AWS to create, store, and manage the keys used for encryption. After discussing the KMS in detail, we’ll move on to discussing AWS WAF, which is used to secure websites hosted on AWS from malicious attacks. We’ll also discuss some monitoring services that'll be used to monitor the resources on our AWS accounts. These services help us ensure that our resources are secure and compliant with the global security standards. We'll also learn about some management services that are used to manage these security services easily. Along with these basic security services, we'll also look at some services that help us implement advanced level security.
