Welcome to Phase 2 of the AWS Academy Cloud Security Project – Securing VPCs.
In this video, I demonstrate how to implement security best practices for Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) to protect cloud resources from unauthorized access and ensure secure network traffic.
🔑 What You’ll Learn in This Project:
How to create and configure VPCs, subnets, and route tables
Using Security Groups to control inbound and outbound traffic
Applying Network ACLs for additional security layers
Setting up VPC Flow Logs for monitoring network activity
Best practices for segmentation and least privilege network access
Techniques to secure public and private subnets
📌 Key Takeaways:
Security Groups act as stateful firewalls for instances
Network ACLs provide an extra stateless security layer
Logging and monitoring network activity improves threat detection
Proper VPC design is essential for secure cloud architecture
