Zero-Trust AWS Hardening

Remediating over-privileged IAM roles, securing exposed storage, and configuring real-time threat detection to achieve complete CIS benchmark compliance without disrupting developer deployment velocity.

100%

Zero

14ms

Achieved full CIS Benchmark compliance across all multi-tenant production environments, verifying every identity and resource configuration against rigorous industry standards.

Maintained baseline developer deployment velocity with automated IAM policy generation, preventing security friction from stalling active software release pipelines.

Reduced SIEM ingestion latency to under fifteen milliseconds, enabling immediate detection and automated alerting for anomalous AWS API calls.

ATTACK PATH RESOLUTION

Before and After

Contrasting the insecure default cloud posture with the audited, hardened state. We eliminated lateral movement vectors and established continuous verification.

INSECURE DEFAULT
HARDENED STATE

Over-Privileged IAM

Least-Privilege Enforcement

Wildcard administrative access allowed lateral movement across environments. Exposed S3 buckets lacked bucket policies, leaving sensitive database backups vulnerable to public credential harvesting.

Roles restricted to specific resource ARNs. S3 buckets protected by strict block-public-access configurations, KMS encryption keys, and real-time GuardDuty event triggers.
