The Basics of AWS Infrastructure Security

This document provides practical guidance for establishing a robust security foundation in AWS through layered controls (network segmentation and firewalls, vulnerability management, IAM, data classification and encryption, and WAF), clarifies the AWS shared responsibility model, and emphasizes automation for rapid, consistent, and auditable response. It highlights how a Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) can deliver unified visibility, risk normalization and contextual prioritization, secure development integration, and automated remediation across multi-cloud environments, with a reference to additional AWS security best practices resources.
