This updated second edition starts with the fundamentals of AWS accounts and organizations. The book then guides you through identity and access management, data protection, network security, and encryption. You'll explore critical topics such as securing EC2 instances, managing keys with KMS and CloudHSM, and implementing endpoint security. Additionally, you'll learn to monitor your environment using CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and AWS Config, while maintaining compliance with services such as GuardDuty, Macie, and Inspector. Each chapter presents practical recipes for real-world scenarios, allowing you to apply security concepts.
