This task programmatically tightens security on a specified AWS S3 bucket by disabling public write access. It modifies the bucket's Block Public Access settings, ensuring compliance with data security standards. This preventive measure is critical in safeguarding sensitive data from unauthorized modifications.

This task configures rules for user passwords in your AWS account. This process includes defining requirements for password complexity, expiration, and rotation to enhance account security and manage access controls effectively.

This task makes all users to update their passwords by updating their login profiles, typically following the implementation of a new password policy. This ensures that all user passwords comply with the updated security standards, enhancing overall account security.

This task involves enabling AES-256 server-side encryption on S3 buckets and verifying its activation. This process ensures data security by encrypting contents within the buckets. By default all new buckets created are encrypted but this task beneficial for legacy buckets without encryption enabled.

This task strengthens data security by restricting public read access to specified AWS S3 buckets. It updates Block Public Access settings and ACLs, ensuring data confidentiality. This action aligns with security compliance standards to protect sensitive information.

This task involves setting up and verifying Server Access Logging for AWS S3 buckets. It ensures that logging is active for a bucket, providing detailed records of access requests. This is crucial for security monitoring, compliance with data governance standards, and effective management of AWS resources.

This task selects an existing AWS KMS Customer Master Key (CMK) or creates a new one if none exists. It checks for a CMK with a specific alias, creating a new key for encryption purposes as needed. This ensures enhanced security and compliance in AWS environments.

This task updates the AWS KMS key policy to authorize AWS CloudTrail to encrypt log files using the specified KMS key. The objective is to secure CloudTrail logs with KMS encryption, ensuring enhanced security and compliance. The process involves modifying the KMS key policy to include permissions for CloudTrail operations.

This task updates an AWS CloudTrail trail to use an AWS Key Management Service (KMS) Customer Master Key (CMK) for server-side encryption. It ensures that the trail's logs are encrypted with a specified KMS key, enhancing the security and confidentiality of audit log files. This update is vital for maintaining compliance and robust data protection standards in AWS.

This task automates the enforcement and verification of log file validation for AWS CloudTrail trails. It checks if log file validation is enabled for a specified trail and activates it if necessary. Post-activation, it confirms the validation status, ensuring compliance with security best practices.

This task involves configuring the default security groups within AWS VPCs to strictly enforce a no-traffic policy. It entails systematically updating the security group rules to block all inbound and outbound traffic, ensuring compliance with stringent network security protocols.

This task is used to detach managed IAM policies or delete inline policies from specific IAM users. This action is crucial for maintaining secure and appropriate access levels within AWS environments, ensuring compliance with best security practices.

This task manages user permissions in AWS by confirming the existence of both IAM users and groups, ensuring users aren't already in the target group, and then adding them if necessary. This process streamlines user access management and maintains organized, best-practice-based user-group associations in AWS IAM.

This task pertains to managing and refreshing AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user credentials to uphold security best practices. IAM access keys, which consist of an access key ID and a secret access key, are used to authenticate AWS API requests. However, if these keys are compromised or simply aged, updating them becomes crucial to safeguard the account. Updating might involve chan...

This task refers to the removal of an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user's access keys, ensuring they can no longer be used for authentication with AWS services and resources. IAM access keys comprise an access key ID and a secret access key, which are employed to sign programmatic requests that you make to AWS. Whether it is for security compliance, a response to a security inciden...

This task assigns a policy to an IAM user, enabling them to assume a specified IAM role. This key security measure allows controlled, temporary access elevation in line with the principle of least privilege. It's essential for secure and efficient permission management in AWS. Note:- This will directly attach a policy to the AWS IAM User.

This task involves deactivating IAM (Identity and Access Management) access keys in AWS that have surpassed a specified age or are no longer in use, as a measure to enhance security. Regularly auditing and deactivating stale or outdated access keys restrict unauthorized or inadvertent access to AWS resources and services. This task deactivates access keys that are identified as old, thereby en...

This task involves generating a new set of credentials – an access key ID and a secret access key – for an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user. These credentials are vital for programmatic access to AWS services, enabling API calls to be authenticated and authorized. Within AWS, an IAM user can have a maximum of two active access keys, facilitating seamless key rotation. The procedur...

This task involves modifying access controls and permissions of a S3 bucket to manage and secure data access, ensuring compliance with security standards and organizational requirements. This is essential for controlling and safeguarding sensitive information stored in S3. In this case the policy update is regarding write permissions for CloudTrail trail to write to S3 bucket.
