Build a Security Monitoring System

I just built a monitoring system to keep my AWS secrets secure!

Now I can catch any unauthorised access in real-time and get notified instantly.

Here's what I did:

✅ Set up AWS Secrets Manager to securely store sensitive data

✅ Configured AWS CloudTrail to track and log every access attempt

✅ Created a CloudWatch Metric Filter to detect secret access events

✅ Set up CloudWatch Alarms to trigger alerts when secrets are accessed

✅ Integrated Amazon SNS to send me instant email notifications

Here is my Project on GitHub: https://github.com/MisolaInTheCloud/Build-a-Security-Monitoring-System`

Monitoring secret access is essential for cloud security! It's reassuring to know I'll be the first to know if something suspicious happens.
