Today’s post continues our sequence on the 5 Pillars of AWS Well-Architected Frameworks. Catch up on the first post here on Operational Excellence. In today’s cloud computing landscape, security is paramount. The increasing number and intensity of cyber attacks, the challenges faced by systems and users, and the business objectives that need to be achieved all require the highest standard of cloud security. Setting up a secure environment is only the beginning. Ways to deal with security events and additional measures to protect data transmissions are also parts of the equation.

This is also the reason why one of the AWS Well-Architected Framework’s five pillars—the second pillar, to be exact—is security. For the environment and systems it hosts to be completely secure, there are several design principles to follow to expand your chances of achieving a truly well-architected system.
