Introduction to AWS Server Hardening
What is cloud server hardening for AWS?
Importance of AWS Server Hardening
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Refining existing Identity and Access Management policies contributes to ensuring the least privilege. This aids in restricting user permissions to appropriate roles and conducting regular checks.
Protect and Encrypt
The virtual private cloud will be set up with network ACLs and security groups that will monitor incoming and outgoing traffic. Data encryption at all stages, as well as key and certificate rotation, must be ensured.
Vulnerability Management
All software and operating systems must have the most recent security patches by employing AWS system manager and AWS inspector services. Regular vulnerability scans and mitigations will be undertaken to reduce the attack surface.
Patch Control and System Updates
A patch management process that ensures frequent security patches to all AWS services will be implemented.
Compliance with Standards
Hardened AWS servers help meet industry regulations and standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DSS.
Incident Response
A hardened server with proper logging and monitoring facilitates faster response and detection of security incidents.

Our Approach
Planning and Discovery
Information Gathering
Vulnerability Assessment
Penetration Testing
Reporting & Remediation
Planning and Discovery
We collaborate with you to understand your business objectives, security posture, and regulatory requirements. This phase also involves system discovery and scoping to determine the applications and infrastructure to be assessed.This information then forms the foundation for developing a tailored assessment plan that meets your specific needs.
Information Gathering
We employ various techniques to map your attack surface, including OSINT and secure interviews, to identify potential vulnerabilities beyond those revealed by automated scans. Additionally, we leverage vulnerability scanners designed for specific technologies and conduct penetration testing to simulate real-world attacks.
Vulnerability Assessment
Automated vulnerability scanning tools and manual techniques are employed to identify potential weaknesses within your systems. These vulnerabilities are then prioritized based on their severity and potential impact, allowing security teams to focus on the most critical issues first. Following remediation efforts, a retest is typically conducted to verify that the vulnerabilities have been effectively addressed.
Penetration Testing
Our ethical hackers simulate real-world attacks to exploit vulnerabilities and evaluate your defenses. Through penetration testing, we identify these weaknesses before malicious actors can, allowing us to patch them and significantly improve your overall cybersecurity posture
Reporting & Remediation
We deliver a comprehensive report outlining vulnerabilities, severity levels, and a prioritized remediation plan. Our team offers guidance to help you patch vulnerabilities and enhance your security posture. We go beyond reporting – our experts will work alongside you to implement the remediation plan, ensuring efficient patching and minimizing disruption to your operations.
