AWS cloudbrings the endless potential for computing, storage, and network infrastructure for enterprises. The new opportunities for data management seek an advanced level of security to avoid the breach or loss of enterprise-wide information. AWS cloud security is a hot topic these days because of the recent security breach of Capital One. It has shaken the security community and made the organizations think about key concerns and interests related to security in Amazon Web Service environments.

Though security is a “Shared” responsibility of Amazon Web Services and the users, many people assume that it is taken care completely cloud computing service providers only. However, that is not reality! At the end of the day, whatever data enterprises put in the cloud computing solutions is their responsibility too.
