The Challenge

The client’s multi-account, multi-region setup led to fragmented security controls and blind spots. Due to limited staff, alerts from Amazon GuardDuty, Inspector, and Security Hub were often missed. AWS IAM issues like stale keys, missing MFA, and overly permissive policies persisted. Amazon EC2 ran with IMDSv1, Amazon S3 lacked versioning or was exposed, and RDS missed deletion protection. Changes to AWS IAM, Amazon VPCs, and Amazon CloudTrail weren’t consistently logged or alarmed.

Solutions

• Amazon GuardDuty for anomaly detection, Inspector for vulnerability scans, and AWS Security Hub as the central aggregator for findings.
• AWS Config rules (managed + custom) enforcing IMDSv2, IAM key rotation, MFA for admins, secure RDS (deletion protection, no public access), and strict Amazon S3 controls.
• Amazon CloudTrail with Amazon CloudWatch metric filters to flag root account usage, policy changes, and insecure network/security group modifications.
• Amazon EventBridge → AWS Lambda → SSM Documents auto-close non-compliant SGs, quarantine compromised EC2s, rotate stale AWS IAM keys, and block public Amazon S3 access.
• AWS IAM Access Analyzer and AWS KMS integration, ensuring strong encryption everywhere and auto-detection of overly permissive roles/policies.
• Amazon SNS-powered notifications for every remediation action, giving the security team visibility and a tamper-proof audit trail.

The Results

Automated AWS security platform achieving 95% compliance auto-remediation within 3 minutes, unified threat intelligence in AWS Security Hub, and real-time incident response through Python-based Lambda automation, eliminating manual intervention.
