How can AWS Control Tower enhance security?
AWS Control Tower helps organizations set up a multi-account framework that provides resource and security isolation. It deploys a landing zone, which is a well-architected, scalable, and secure multi-account AWS environment. This allows organizations to quickly launch and deploy workloads with confidence in their security and infrastructure.
What is the purpose of Service Control Policies?
Service Control Policies (SCPs) enforce preventative guardrails within AWS organizations. They can restrict access to specific regions or services, ensuring compliance with security requirements. For instance, an agency operating only within the U.S. can apply an SCP to deny access to unauthorized regions, thus enhancing security at the organizational level.
How can organizations manage sensitive data storage?
Organizations can develop a strategy to identify and manage sensitive data storage by using Amazon Macie. This service employs machine learning to discover and protect sensitive data, such as personally identifiable information (PII). Macie helps organizations maintain compliance by providing visibility into data security risks and enabling automatic protection against unauthorized data storage.
