Amazon AWS Cloud Security Review

Ethical, Professional & Pragmatic
Our Amazon AWS Cloud Security Review provides an assessment of your Amazon AWS configuration using industry-leading hardening standards and the latest AWS cloud security best practices.
With the rise of cloud-based computing, Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud security has become critically important. Thousands of organisations host data and applications globally within Amazon AWS, which makes it a prime target for organised criminal gangs, opportunistic hackers and malware.
Why is Amazon AWS Cloud Security Important?
If your Amazon AWS environment is not managed correctly, several types of cloud security vulnerabilities can arise. These vulnerabilities may include allowing unauthorised users to access sensitive information in your organisation’s S3 buckets (storage), resulting in sensitive data being publicly accessible. Misconfigured Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies can similarly expose your organisation’s AWS resources to unauthorised users, leading to unintentional data breaches or unauthorised usage of resources, potentially resulting in high costs and reputational damage.
Other cloud security vulnerabilities in poorly managed AWS environments can include unpatched software, open network ports, weak encryption settings, while a lack of monitoring or logging of your AWS services can hinder your organisation’s ability to detect suspicious activities.
Amazon AWS Cloud Security Experts
Our Amazon AWS Cloud Security Review benchmarks your Amazon Web Services (AWS) tenant against the latest cloud security hardening recommendations from the Center for Internet Security (CIS) – providing you with a tangible list of remediation actions to strengthen your Amazon AWS security and protect your organisation against a cyber attack.
What types of vulnerabilities can an Amazon AWS Cloud Security Review identify?
Some common vulnerabilities that our consultancy team find during Amazon AWS Cloud Security Reviews include the following:
- Weak Identity and Access Management
- Publicly Accessible S3 Buckets
- Unrestricted Network Access Controls
- Lack of Multi-Factor Authentication
- Unpatched EC2 Instance Vulnerabilities
