These are modern cybersecurity technologies that help organizations secure their data.
Zero trust
Zero trust is a cybersecurity principle that assumes no applications or users are trusted by default, even if they are hosted within the organization. Instead, the zero trust model assumes a least-privilege access control, which requires strict authentication from the respective authorities and continuous monitoring of applications. AWS uses zero trust principles to authenticate and validate every individual API request.
Behavioral analytics
Behavioral analytics monitor data transmission from devices and networks to detect suspicious activities and abnormal patterns. For example, the IT security team is alerted of a sudden spike in data transmission or downloads of suspicious files to specific devices.
Intrusion detection system
Organizations use intrusion detection systems to identify and quickly respond to a cyber attack. Modern security solutions use machine learning and data analytics to uncover dormant threats in the organization's computing infrastructure. The intrusion defense mechanism also picks up a data trail in the event of an incident, which helps the security team discover the incident's source.
Cloud encryption
Cloud encryption scrambles data before storing it in cloud databases. This prevents unauthorized parties from abusing the data in possible breaches. Organizations useAWS Key Management Service to take control of data encryption in AWS workloads.
