Deployment of a security solution for cloud

Cloud computing offers benefits in the digital world, such as scalability and agility, but securing these environments requires a high level of knowledge and have the potential for misconfiguration. While cloud platforms offer user-friendly interfaces, ensuring robust cloud security requires a balance between user experience and technical expertise to avoid security vulnerabilities that arise from misconfiguration. This paper proposes a fundamental framework for improving the security posture while using the cloud. The framework uses a configurable building block approach to simplify migration and development efforts for cloud-based solutions. The framework focuses on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and automates deployment with infrastructure-as-code (IaC) principles, minimizing the need for deep infrastructure knowledge. This allows users to develop and deploy secure cloud solutions with built-in security tools and monitoring, minimizing the need for extensive infrastructure knowledge on the user's part. This framework aims to provide a hardened environment suited for cloud appropriation. The framework is leveraging security best practices and monitoring tools, harnessing a more secure approach to the use of public cloud environments.
