Lab - Performing a Basic Audit of your AWS Environment

Explore cloud security and governance frameworks across AWS environments

Evaluate AWS cloud architecture against security and governance standards by reviewing IAM access, security group rules, VPC subnets, Network ACLs, CloudWatch metrics, and CloudTrail logs, while gathering evidence to support compliance and audit requirements.

Discover advanced compliance and monitoring practices

Investigate access patterns and permissions using the IAM Policy Simulator, then examine network controls and system activity through security groups, VPC configurations, CloudWatch metrics, and CloudTrail logs stored in Amazon S3.
