Secure Data using Amazon Web Services

The adoption of Amazon Web Services (AWS) continues to rise as organizations seek scalable, cost-efficient, and resilient cloud architectures. However, as cloud adoption grows, so do security risks driven by increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Protecting cloud workloads now requires security to be embedded directly into architecture, automation, and governance models.

At Claritus Consulting, an AWS Select Tier Partner, we help organizations implement secure cloud environments on Amazon Web Services by combining automation, identity management, encryption, and continuous monitoring, ensuring security without slowing innovation. Below are the key areas every enterprise must address.

Identity and Access Management on Amazon Web Services

Amazon Web Services Identity and Access Management (IAM) enables organizations to control who can access AWS resources and what actions they can perform. By defining role-based access and applying least-privilege principles, enterprises can reduce security exposure while maintaining operational efficiency.

IAM allows administrators to create users, groups, and roles aligned with job responsibilities—ensuring secure, auditable access across cloud environments.

Data Security on Amazon Web Services

Amazon Web Services offers robust encryption capabilities to protect data both at rest and in transit. AWS storage and database services such as Amazon S3, EBS, RDS, DynamoDB, and ElastiCache support industry-standard encryption mechanisms.

Amazon S3 provides server-side encryption using:

• SSE-S3 (AWS-managed keys)

• SSE-KMS (AWS Key Management Service)

Additionally, AWS networking services such as Elastic Load Balancing and Amazon CloudFront support SSL/TLS encryption to ensure secure data transmission across applications and environments.

Automated Monitoring & Security Tracking on AWS

Automation is a core strength of Amazon Web Services security. AWS Config continuously evaluates AWS resource configurations against security and compliance rules, helping organizations detect drift and remediate risks quickly.

AWS CloudTrail logs all AWS Management Console actions and API calls, enabling complete visibility into user activity. By integrating AWS Lambda, organizations can automate alerts, restrict access, or initiate remediation workflows when security violations occur.
