About this talk
Improving security posture with AWS Well-Architected
An on-site session on the Security pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework. The framework's Security pillar covers identity and access management, detection, infrastructure protection, data protection, and incident response — five areas that together define how a workload protects information, systems, and assets while delivering business value.
The session is practical, not theoretical. The aim is to leave with concrete moves to take back to your own AWS environment, and a way to assess where the gaps are.
Key takeaways
A working checklist for evaluating the security posture of your AWS workloads.
Identity and detection
- IAM Identity Center, least privilege, role boundaries
- CloudTrail, Config, GuardDuty as the detection baseline
- Findings centralisation and triage
Protection and response
- Network and infrastructure protection patterns
- Data protection: encryption at rest and in transit, key ownership
- Incident response: runbooks, automation, recovery
Bring this kind of work to your AWS environment.
If something here lined up with what you're building, the next step is a working call with the team that delivered it.
