Practical cloud security implementations for real-world environments
Cloud Security Engineer | Documenting hands-on security implementations
As a cloud security engineer, I'm documenting practical implementations of security controls across major cloud platforms. Each lab addresses real security challenges with hands-on, tested solutions.
Perfect for:
- Security engineers building cloud expertise
- Teams implementing specific security controls
- Professionals preparing for cloud security certifications
- Organizations seeking practical security implementations
- SNS Real-Time PII Masking - Automatic credit card detection and masking [In Progress]
- CloudTrail Incident Response - Complete IR workflow with NIST framework [Planned]
- S3 Ransomware Protection - Advanced S3 security controls [Planned]
- Policy as Code Implementation - CloudFormation Guard automation [Planned]
- RDS Encryption Upgrade - Database security hardening [Planned]
- KMS Key Security Audit - Comprehensive key management review [Planned]
Every lab includes:
- ✅ Real-world scenarios based on actual security challenges
- ✅ Step-by-step guides with screenshots and validation
- ✅ Security analysis explaining the "why" behind each control
- ✅ Production considerations for enterprise deployment
- ✅ Compliance mapping to relevant frameworks (PCI DSS, GDPR, NIST)
- ✅ Cost optimization with cleanup procedures
🔄 Currently implementing: SNS Data Protection lab with real-time PII masking
📅 Next up: RDS encryption and S3 ransomware protection
🎯 Goal: Complete enterprise-grade incident response framework
