Agenda
• Through the lens of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework we will look at frameworks developed
by, and services available onAWS.
• AWS services can either/both play a supporting role in your security posture, supporting both
non-AWS resources andAWS resources alike but secure configuration ofAWS resources can also
play a role in supporting your security posture.
• The NIST Cybersecurity Framework provides a policy framework of computer security guidance
for how private sector organizations in the United States can assess and improve their ability to
prevent, detect, and respond to cyber attacks.
Introduction
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
• Identify
• Develop an organizational understanding to manage cybersecurity risk to systems, people, assets,
data, and capabilities.
• Protect
• Develop and implement appropriate safeguards to ensure delivery of critical services.
• Detect
• Develop and implement appropriate activities to identify the occurrence of a cybersecurity event.
• Respond
• Develop and implement appropriate activities to take action regarding a detected cybersecurity
incident.
• Recover
• Develop and implement appropriate activities to maintain plans for resilience and to restore any
capabilities or services that were impaired due to a cybersecurity incident.

Conclusion
Conclusion
• Iterate introduction of your security controls – some in the short term is better than none in the
long term.
• Detective Controls are just as important as Preventative Controls, they play a significant
response in incident detection and response.
• Whether your workload is onAWS or not,AWS services can be used to supplement your controls.
• There is no lack of frameworks – pick and choose from them to make a framework that works
best for your organization’s needs.
