Challenges of AWS Cloud Security
If your organization has workloads in Amazon Web Services (AWS), it’s vital to ensure that they are secured properly. AWS cloud attacks often occur because organizations fail to follow AWS’s Shared Responsibility Model and identify cloud misconfigurations.
Common AWS misconfigurations that can lead to cloud security data breaches include:
Open S3 Buckets Misconfigured IAM policies Unrestricted access to resources
How Picus Help You to Secure AWS
Picus Cloud Security Validation (CSV) helps you secure your workloads in AWS by identifying cloud misconfigurations and overly permissive IAM policies - the two primary causes of AWS cloud data breaches.
AWS cloud auditing
Scanning core AWS services, Picus CSV identifies critical cloud misconfigurations that attackers could exploit. These include excessive privileges, exposed S3 buckets, and cryptographic failures.
AWS attack simulation
By simulating cloud attacks in AWS, Picus CSV identifies overly permissive identity and access management (IAM) policies that could enable attackers to compromise cloud services and steal data.
