AWS Academy Cloud Security Project (Phase 1) | Securing Data in Amazon S3

Welcome to Phase 1 of the AWS Academy Cloud Security Project – Securing Data in Amazon S3. In this video, I demonstrate how to protect data stored in Amazon S3 by applying essential cloud security best practices. This project focuses on implementing proper access controls, encryption, and monitoring to ensure that S3 data remains secure and compliant. 🔑 What You’ll Learn in This Project: How to configure S3 bucket security settings Applying resource-based policies to control access Enabling server-side encryption (SSE-S3 & SSE-KMS) Using bucket versioning and block public access Setting up bucket-level logging and monitoring Best practices for protecting sensitive data in S3 📌 Key Takeaways: Amazon S3 offers multiple layers of security to protect data Encryption + proper access controls are critical for cloud security Monitoring and logging enhance visibility and help detect unwanted changes This Phase 1 project lays the foundation for secure cloud operations
