AWS topology and routing can be complex, and cloud environments are dynamic by nature, making it hard to understand which workloads are actually secure, or identify what traffic traverses into and out of any workflow as well as within the private cloud and out to a customer premises network. Making things more complicated is the fact that the cloud utilizes a shared security responsibility mode, meaning fundamental security measures to protect the cloud infrastructure are handled by AWS but protection of assets and data within a customer’s AWS environment is the responsibility of the customer. Fortunately AWS partners with leading cyber security vendors such as Check Point to help customers fulfill their side of the shared responsibility model and bring advanced security services to protect their cloud networks.
