πŸ”’ Securing the Cloud: My AWS Security Learning Journey πŸš€

As a cybersecurity student and aspiring analyst, I’ve been digging deep into AWS security best practices to understand how to protect cloud environments from potential threats. Cloud security is becoming more critical than ever, and AWS provides powerful tools to help secure workloads.

Here’s what I’ve been exploring:

  • Identity & Access Management (IAM) – Least privilege policies and secure access management
  • AWS CloudTrail & GuardDuty – Monitoring and threat detection
  • AWS WAF & Shield – Protecting against web attacks and DDoS threats
  • Setting up a Secure Pentesting Lab on AWS – Using Kali Linux in a controlled cloud environment

Next Steps?

  • I’m working towards mastering AWS Security Specialty certification to deepen my knowledge.
  • Exploring more real-world attack simulations in AWS to understand cloud security from a blue team and red team perspective.
  • Engaging with the AWS and cybersecurity communities to share insights and learn from the best!

πŸš€ What are your favorite AWS security tools? Let’s connect and discuss how to strengthen cloud security together!
