• Shared
• Familiar
Universal Cloud Security
• Every Customer Has Access to the Same Security Capabilities, and Gets to Choose What’s Right for Their Business - Governments
- Financial Sector
- Pharmaceuticals
- Entertainment
- Start-Ups
- Social Media
- Home Users
- Retail
Visible Cloud Security
• AWS allows you to see your ENTIRE infrastructure at the click of a mouse.
- Can you map your current network?

This?
Auditable Cloud Security
• How do you know AWS is right for your business?
- 3rd Party Audits
• Independent auditors
- Artifacts
• Plans, Policies and Procedures
- Logs
• Obtained
• Retained
• Analyzed
Transparent Cloud Security
• Choose the audit/certification that’s right for you:
- ISO-27001
- SOC-1, SOC-2, SOC-3
- FedRAMP
- PCI
Security & Compliance Control Objectives
• Control Objective 1: Security Organization – Who we are
– Proper control & access within the organization
• Control Objective 2: Amazon User Access
– How we vet our staff
– Minimization of access
Security & Compliance Control Objectives
• Control Objective 3: Logical Security
– Our staff start with no systems access
– Need-based access grants
– Rigorous systems separation
– Systems access grants regularly re-evaluated & automatically
revoked
Security & Compliance Control Objectives
• Control Objective 4: Secure Data Handling
– Storage media destroyed before being permitted outside our
datacenters
– Media destruction consistent with US Dept. of Defense Directive
5220.22
• Control Objective 5: Physical Security and Environmental
Safeguards
– Keeping our facilities safe
– Maintaining the physical operating parameters of our datacenters
Security & Compliance Control Objectives
• Control Objective 6: Change Management
– Continuous Operation
• Control Objective 7: Data Integrity, Availability and Redundancy
– Ensuring your data remains safe, intact & available
• Control Objective 8: Incident Handling
– Processes & procedures for mitigating and managing potential
issues
Shared Responsibility
• Let AWS do the heavy lifting
• This is what we do – and we do it all the time
• As the AWS customer you can focus on your business and not be distracted by the muck
• AWS • Facilities
• Physical Security
• Physical Infrastructure
• Network Infrastructure
• Virtualization Infrastructure
• Customer • Choice of Guest OS
• Application Configuration Options
• Account Management flexibility
• Security Groups
• Network ACLs
Physical Security
• Large non-descript facilities
• Robust perimeter controls
• 2 factor authentication for entry
• Controlled, need-based access for AWS employees
• All access is logged and reviewed
Physical Security
• Distributed Regions – Multiple Availability Zones
Network Security
• DDoS attacks defended at the border
• Man in the Middle attacks
• SSL endpoints
• IP Spoofing prohibited
• Port scanning prohibited
• Packet Sniffing prevented
Amazon EC2 Security • Host operating system
– Individual SSH keyed logins via bastion host for AWS admins – All accesses logged and audited
• Guest operating system
– Customer controlled at root level – AWS admins cannot log in – Customer-generated keypairs
• Stateful firewall
– Mandatory inbound firewall, default deny mode
• Signed API calls – Require X.509 certificate or customer’s secret AWS key

VPC - Dedicated Instances
• Option to ensure physical hosts are not shared with other customers
• $10/hr flat fee per Region + small hourly charge
• Can identify specific Instances as dedicated
• Optionally configure entire VPC as dedicated
• Customers have requirements that require them to use specific encryption key management procedures not previously possible on AWS
– Requirements are based on contractual or regulatory mandates for keeping encryption keys stored in a specific manner or with specific access controls
– Good key management is c
• Customers want to run applications and store data in AWS but previously had to retain keys in HSMs in on-premises datacenters
– Applications may slow down due to network latency
– Requires several DCs to provide high availability, disaster recovery and durability of keys
Customer Challenge: Encryption
• AWS offers several data protection mechanisms including access control, encryption, etc.
• AWS data encryption solutions allow customers to: – Encrypt and decrypt sensitive data inside or outside AWS
– Decide which data to encrypt
• AWS CloudHSM complements existing AWS data protection and encryption solutions
• With AWS CloudHSM customers can: – Encrypt data inside AWS
– Store keys in AWS within a Hardware Security Module
– Decide how to encrypt data – the AWS CloudHSM implements cryptographic functions and key storage for customer applications
– Use third party validated hardware for key storage • AWS CloudHSMs are designed to meet Common Criteria EAL4+ and FIPS 140-2 standards)
AWS Data Protection Solutions
9/23/2013 Slides not intended for redistribution.
• Customers receive dedicated access to HSM appliances
• HSMs are physically located in AWS datacenters – in close network
proximity to Amazon EC2 instances
• Physically managed and monitored by AWS, but customers control
their own keys
• HSMs are inside customer’s VPC – dedicated to the customer and
isolated from the rest of the network
What is AWS CloudHSM?
AWS CloudHSM
• Secure Key Storage – customers retain control of their own keys and cryptographic operations on the HSM
• Contractual and Regulatory Compliance – helps customers comply with the most stringent regulatory and contractual requirements for key protection
• Reliable and Durable Key Storage – AWS CloudHSMs are located in multiple Availability Zones and Regions to help customers build highly available applications that require secure key storage
• Simple and Secure Connectivity – AWS CloudHSMs are in the customer’s VPC
• Better Application Performance – reduce network latency and increase the performance of AWS applications that use HSMs
