Background for this topic.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud platform offering on-demand computing, storage, databases, networking, and managed services. Organizations use it to run applications and process data without operating the underlying physical infrastructure. Security reporting under this tag may concern AWS service flaws, its infrastructure, or weaknesses in customer-configured environments.
AWS follows a shared-responsibility model: AWS secures the cloud infrastructure, while customers must secure identities, data, configurations, and workloads. Material risks include overly broad IAM permissions or stolen credentials, publicly exposed storage or network services, and unpatched virtual machines, containers, or application interfaces. Effective defenses include least-privilege access, encryption, configuration review, timely patching, and centralized audit logging through services such as CloudTrail. Those logs and related telemetry support detection and investigation, while predefined procedures can revoke credentials, isolate workloads, and preserve evidence when an account or resource is compromised.
