AWS security automation protects sensitive data, workloads

AWS security tools keep cloud environments safe, but as application development methods evolve, so too must security. Evaluate these automation tools to protect your workloads. The public cloud amplifies some enterprises' security concerns, but fortunately, public cloud providers offer tools to calm those fears. In particular, AWS provides a growing menu of services that guard precious resources and support a high level of automation. The pace of cloud application development and deployment continues to accelerate. This puts enormous pressure on developers and operations staff to create secure code, deploy applications to secure environments, ensure proper authentication for those resources and guard everything against malicious activity. That can be a tall order that demands extensive use of automation. Fortunately, public cloud providers rise to the challenge, and businesses can select from an ever-expanding list of AWS security automation tools. Developers commonly use web applications as vital enterprise portals to support sales and allow access to corporate data, as well as many other tasks. Consequently, hackers often target web apps to steal data and simply render the application unavailable.
