What Cloud Security Means on AWS

Understand how protecting cloud resources differs from securing a data center.

A New Security Model

Securing the cloud is not like guarding a data center. On AWS, security becomes a matter of configuration and identity — software you define, not hardware you install.

From Perimeter to Identity

Old security trusted a perimeter. The cloud flips that: the real boundary is who can do what. A leaked credential, not a breached wall, is the usual way in.
