Key Concepts

IAM Policy

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:GetObject",
        "s3:ListBucket"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket",
        "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket/*"
      ],
      "Condition": {
        "IpAddress": {
          "aws:SourceIp": "10.0.0.0/8"
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Deny",
      "Action": "s3:*",
      "NotResource": "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket/*"
    }
  ]
}

Network Security Groups

# AWS Security Group
resource "aws_security_group" "web" {
  name        = "web-sg"
  description = "Security group for web servers"
  vpc_id      = aws_vpc.main.id
  
  ingress {
    description = "HTTPS"
    from_port   = 443
    to_port     = 443
    protocol    = "tcp"
    cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"]
  }
  
  egress {
    from_port   = 0
    to_port     = 0
    protocol    = "-1"
    cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"]
  }
}

Encryption Configuration

# Kubernetes secrets encryption
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: encrypted-secret
type: Opaque
data:  # Already base64 encoded
  username: dmFsdWU=
encryption:
  - providers:
      - aescbc:
          keys:
            - name: key1
              secret: <base64-32-byte-key>
    resources:
      - secrets

Security Best Practices

• Identity: Use IAM roles, not access keys; enable MFA
• Network: Use VPCs, private subnets, security groups
• Data: Encrypt at rest and in transit; use KMS
• Logging: Enable CloudTrail, audit all access
• Compliance: Use Config Rules, Security Hub
• Incident Response: Have playbook for breaches

Vulnerability Scanning

# Trivy in CI/CD
trivy fs --severity HIGH,CRITICAL .
trivy image --severity HIGH,CRITICAL myimage:latest
trivy db --update
trivy kubernetes cluster --report summary
