AWS Security Automation

Overview

AWS Security Automation is a project designed to enhance cloud security by automating security monitoring, misconfiguration detection, and threat response within AWS environments. This project leverages AWS-native services, Python scripts, and security best practices to provide an automated security framework.

• Misconfiguration Detection: Identifies misconfigured AWS services such as open S3 buckets, overprivileged IAM roles, and security group vulnerabilities.
• Threat Detection: Uses AWS CloudTrail, GuardDuty, and custom Python scripts to detect anomalous activities.
• Auto-Remediation: Triggers Lambda functions to remediate security risks automatically.
• Compliance Reporting: Generates security compliance reports for AWS resources.
