What is AWS Cloud Security? How Does it Work?

AWS Cloud Security refers to the suite of security features, services, and compliance frameworks that ensure the protection of data, applications, and infrastructure hosted on AWS. AWS follows a shared responsibility model, where AWS is responsible for the security of the cloud infrastructure (hardware, software, networking), and customers are responsible for securing their data and applications. Key security features include AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), AWS Shield (DDoS protection), AWS KMS (Key Management), and AWS CloudTrail (logging and monitoring). AWS also complies with various industry standards, including HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2, making it suitable for industries with stringent security requirements.
