AWS Well-Architected Framework: Security

The Security pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework emphasizes designing, deploying, and managing workloads securely in the cloud. It highlights best practices such as protecting data confidentiality, integrity, and availability, managing user access, and implementing network and application-level security controls. Key design principles include establishing a strong identity foundation, maintaining traceability, applying security at all layers, and automating best practices. The pillar outlines seven best practices covering security foundations, identity and access management, detection, infrastructure protection, data protection, incident response, and application security. Stream Security enhances AWS security by providing a cloud posture tool with real-time context-aware policies to protect environments from risks and gaps, using CloudTwin technology for precise modeling and dynamic algorithms to detect dependencies. It also aids in incident prevention and response by enabling quick identification of root causes and efficient collaboration among teams. The text underscores that maintaining security is an ongoing process, viewing incidents as opportunities to strengthen system defenses through a layered protection approach.
