AWS Security

Reference Architecture

OVERVIEW

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Reference Architecture (AWS SRA) is a holistic set of guidelines for deploying the full complement of AWS security services in a multi-account environment.

It can be used to help design, implement, and manage AWS security services so that they align with AWS recommended practices. The recommendations are built around a single-page architecture that includes AWS security services—how they help achieve security objectives, where they can be best deployed and managed in your AWS accounts, and how they interact with other security services.

Highlights

Security
Foundations

The AWS Security Reference Architecture aligns to three AWS security foundations: the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF), AWS Well-Architected Framework, and the AWS Shared Responsibility Model.

Identity &
Access Mgmt

With AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), you can specify who or what can access services and resources in AWS, centrally manage fine-grained permissions, and analyze access to refine permissions across AWS.

Multi-Account
Strategy

An important foundational aspect of organizing an AWS environment is following a multi-account strategy. One account isn’t enough to set up a well-architected environment. Using multiple accounts, you can best support your security goals and business processes. Separating workloads into their own accounts enables to you better control access and authorization, apply categorical security and compliance safeguards, and allocate costs on a per workload basis to enable chargebacks and showbacks.

Cost Optimization

Issue: Small AWS deployment with little management oversight and a lack of cloud skills internal to the organization moving from traditional infrastructure to SaaS and cloud based solutions.

 

What we did

  1. AWS Audit
  2. Cost Optimization Review
  3. Ongoing Monitoring

 

Result:

  • Eliminated unused storage volumes and the old application server no longer in use, the charges for AWS resulted in a savings of 51% per month.
  • We’ll continue to monitor AWS billing and finance to ensure maintenance of savings and identify other future changes.
