Cloud Security Fundamentals
Security review fundamentals for AWS, Azure and GCP environments.
Cloud security is a shared-responsibility problem. A practical assessment should examine identity, exposure, configuration, data protection and workload paths rather than treating the cloud provider as the security boundary.
Assessment areas
Identity & access
Review privileged roles, service identities, excessive permissions, authentication controls and access paths.
Internet exposure
Identify public services, management interfaces, exposed storage and unnecessary inbound access.
Configuration
Review network controls, logging, secrets handling, storage permissions and security baselines.
Workload security
Consider host, container, serverless and application-level controls according to the environment.
Good evidence
Document the affected resource, effective permission or exposure, attack path, impact and exact remediation. Avoid reporting a configuration issue without demonstrating why it matters.
