In my current role as a Cloud Security Associate at CloudGuard, I am heavily involved in securing our AWS environment. A large part of my job is to ensure secure network access to our resources. I have dealt with threats, potential security breaches, and have been instrumental in developing comprehensive security protocols.
In one instance, we migrated a sensitive data processing application onto AWS. I drafted and implemented the network security strategy for this app. I used AWS Security Groups, NACLs, and VPC Flow Logs to govern traffic flow to and from our servers. I also arranged secure access to the application resources using IAM roles and policies.
This setup led to a secure network environment with detailed monitoring and a minimal incident rate. It not only reaffirmed the effectiveness of our security protocols but also reinforced our confidence in AWS for securing network access.
