Beyond EC2: A Comprehensive Approach to AWS Security Audits

Introduction

AWS EC2 is just the tip of the iceberg. Misconfigurations in other AWS services, such as S3 and RDS, can jeopardize your entire cloud infrastructure. Building on Blog - Why Your AWS EC2 Environment Needs a Security Audit Today, we’ll explore the importance of auditing your entire AWS environment.

Services Beyond EC2 to Audit

1. S3 Bucket Configurations

Publicly accessible S3 buckets can lead to data breaches.
Mitigation: Enable bucket policies and block public access.

2. RDS Instance Encryption

Unencrypted databases are vulnerable to attacks.
Mitigation: Enable encryption at rest and in transit.

3. Lambda Function Permissions

Overly permissive Lambda execution roles pose security risks.‍

Mitigation: Audit permissions and apply the principle of least privilege.
