How to Secure AWS Route 53 with Sysdig

Securing AWS Route 53 is crucial for maintaining a safe cloud environment, as configuration changes, whether intentional or accidental, can widen the attack surface. Route 53, a widely used DNS service by AWS, requires constant monitoring to prevent risky changes that could lead to serious issues, such as domain hijacking or unauthorized access. While AWS offers tools like AWS Shield for protection against DDoS attacks, they do not address internal configuration vulnerabilities. CloudTrail serves as an audit log but lacks real-time alerting and reporting capabilities to distinguish between valid and risky changes. Sysdig Secure enhances this by providing automated monitoring and alerting for potentially dangerous Route 53 events, such as VPC associations or domain registrations, using CloudTrail data. Sysdig's out-of-the-box solution offers a comprehensive view of risks and enables security teams to act promptly, making it an effective tool for safeguarding AWS infrastructure.
