Amazon Web Services (AWS), a prominent player in the cloud computing landscape, has become a cornerstone for countless businesses seeking scalability, flexibility, and efficient financial management. However, the increasing dependence on the cloud has also given rise to new challenges, particularly in the realm of security. This is where Ankercloud, a dedicated partner in AWS security, comes into play. In this article, we'll explore Ankercloud's expertise in AWS security and how it aligns seamlessly with the shared responsibility model.

Understanding the Shared Responsibility Model

Before delving into the invaluable role that Ankercloud plays in AWS security, it's vital to grasp the Shared Responsibility Model. This model defines who bears the responsibility for what in the public cloud environment, distinguishing between the cloud service provider (in this case, AWS) and the customer.

AWS Responsibility

‍AWS takes charge of the "Security of the Cloud." This encompasses the security and maintenance of the underlying infrastructure, including hardware, network structure, and physical security of data centers. AWS also manages low-level configurations and operating systems on its servers.

Customer Responsibility

On the other hand, customers are responsible for the "Security in the Cloud." This includes configuring and securing the services they use and the data they upload. Their responsibilities encompass the security of their cloud architecture, the setup and utilization of AWS services, and the maintenance of their code, operating systems, and containers.

Shared Controls

Certain controls in the cloud environment fall under both AWS and customer responsibilities, depending on the context and perspective. These shared controls encompass patching, settings and configuration, and awareness and training. It is incumbent upon both AWS and customers to make sure that their employees are well-informed and trained in the latest security practices.

When it comes to cloud security, one common concern is the fear of unauthorized access to sensitive data. However, it's essential to understand how data is handled in the cloud to alleviate these concerns.

AWS structures its global coverage into regions and availability zones to ensure data redundancy and disaster recovery. Customer data does not leave the specified region without explicit permission. Data encryption is a priority for AWS, and customers are responsible for encrypting their data. AWS services like S3 and DynamoDB use AES-256 encryption by default.

Creating backups is crucial for data reliability, and AWS provides services like AWS Glacier for data backup. Customers have control over backup frequency and retention policies, ensuring that their data is protected. Importantly, access to data in the cloud is limited to customers, as AWS employees cannot access customer data, and any hardware accessed is thoroughly wiped before use.

To guarantee the security and compliance of cloud services, AWS adheres to various industry standards and programs. Some of these include the Cloud Computing Compliance Controls Catalog (C5), ISO/IEC 27000:2018, and PCI DSS. These standards help assess and maintain the security of AWS services and demonstrate their commitment to security.

With the foundations of cloud compliance in mind, we turn to Ankercloud, your trusted compliance partner in the AWS ecosystem.

The shared responsibility model adopted by most cloud providers demands that businesses take active measures to secure their data and applications. 

Cloud Security Challenge

While cloud technology offers remarkable advantages, its distributed nature introduces a unique set of security challenges:

Data Breaches: Cloud breaches can result in significant data exposure. Whether due to misconfigured settings or insider threats, unauthorized access to sensitive data remains a top concern.

Insecure APIs: Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) facilitate interaction between various cloud components. Inadequately secured APIs can serve as entry points for attackers.

Shared Responsibility: Public cloud providers operate on a shared responsibility model, where they secure the infrastructure while customers are responsible for securing their applications and data.

Compliance and Governance: Organizations must ensure that their cloud infrastructure adheres to industry regulations and internal security policies.
