Shared Intel Q&A: A thriving ecosystem now supports AWS ‘shared responsibility’ security model
- Amazon has come a long way with AWS Shared Responsibility Model introduced in 2013 to divide cloud security obligations between AWS and its patrons.
- AWS has introduced and promoted a range of tools and 3rd party cybersecurity vendors have been innovating to address the obvious gaps in cybersecurity.
- Meanwhile, standards bodies and regulators have kept up the pressure for companies to do the right thing when it comes to cloud security giving rise to a steadily growing momentum of companies living up to their part of AWS shared responsibility.
- High-profile breaches, especially stemming from misconfigured services like S3 buckets or exposed APIs, have emphasised the need for shared responsibility.
- AWS does provide a rich set of security-focused tools, but ultimately securing an organization's environment is company's responsibility.
- Amazon GuardDuty, WAF, Shield, and SSM Patch Manager are some of AWS's tools that help businesses manage their security posture.
- AWS has built a robust network of partners and vendors, enabling businesses to leverage specialized solutions tailored to their unique needs.
- Compliance will shift from being a competitive advantage to a baseline expectation and compliance requirements directly into infrastructure and software development lifecycle will become essential.
- Strengthening security needs to be embedded across operations and championed by management to be truly effective as it is a 'must-have' today.
- Nimbus Stack is a DevOps consultancy specialising in AWS security and excels in identifying potential threats and mitigating them, making compliance a critical factor for businesses aiming to grow and remain credible in the market.
