Want to learn @awscloud Security but not sure where to start?

Here's a super-useful Learning Roadmap for AWS Security:

(Keep reading to get the full roadmap diagram👇 )
#awssecurity #cloudsecurity
Just starting out? You should learn the basics first.

Identity & Access Mgmt. is your first order of business. Understanding IAM will solve half your security problems in AWS.

Next up, Secrets in AWS! Cryptography, secure password storage, etc. are CRITICAL.

2/6
Next, go for VM & Network Security. Learn about VPC, Flow Logs & VM security.

Boost visibility in any AWS env. by monitoring & logging events with CloudWatch & CloudTrail.

Learn to automate vulnerability mgmt. with Amazon Inspector. Cut down on manual work with automation.

3/6
Done with the Basics? Time to really dive deep into AWS services:

- Serverless security
- Auditing
- ECR (Container registry)
- Athena (SQL queries)
- GuardDuty (Threat detection)
- Threat Model
- ECS & Fargate (Container orchestration)

...and more (full list below👇)

4/6
Now we're getting to the advanced stuff:

- AWS PrivateLink (connect VPCs to AWS)
- Cognito (AuthN, AuthZ, IAM)
- EKS (Managed Kubernetes)
- SSO & OIDC
- Advanced monitoring with CloudWatch Expressions, Events & Triggers

Oh, and we promised you an easy visual diagram:

How do you level up DAST scans on your REST APIs?

Automate them, of course!

Here are our Top 8 Free Tools for Automating REST API Testing:
#api #automation Image
1. REST Assured

More than just a cute pun, REST Assured is a Java-based library built for making testing REST services in Java way easier.

It works particularly well with Maven, a build automation tool used primarily for Java projects.

2. Postman

Postman can be used to write functional tests, integration tests, regression tests, and more.

It can be integrated with your CI/CD pipeline, too.

(Still can't figure out if the mascot is a postman or an astronaut)

Let's learn the basics of Threat Modeling!

Here's the Top 5 Threat Modeling methodologies, and how they work.

#threatmodeling
1. STRIDE

One of the most popular, STRIDE is an acronym for the types of threats it covers:
Spoofing identity
Tampering with data
Repudiation threats
Information disclosure
Denial of service
Elevation of privileges

This is a developer-centric methodology.
In STRIDE, you create a data flow diagram-based threat model of the target app. With user & abuser stories, create a list of potential threats.

Map them to the above threat types & classify the attacker's goals in one of 6 categories, along with relevant security controls.
