What Years of AWS Hacking Tells Us About Building Secure Apps

This post argues for data-driven security in cloud environments, using HackerOne vulnerability trends and AWS best practices to recommend concrete mitigations—infrastructure-as-code, static analysis, principle of least privilege, continuous logging/monitoring, and use of IAM roles/ST S—in order to reduce recurring configuration and access-control risks; it highlights common classes of cloud vulnerabilities (e.g., SSRF, improper access control, dangling DNS) but remains high-level and advisory.
