As with any server or database storage, unique security risks are posed to organizations that have moved their data and applications to the cloud. At Amazon AWS, part of your role will be to ensure that all security measures are in place with the organizations data in the cloud and your interviewer is looking to hear that you are familiar with diagnosing security risks and taking action to prevent them with this question. Talk about your knowledge of the different cloud service providers and other security measures that you are familiar with taking in your work.

"For me, the planning stage of the cloud deployment process really sets the groundwork for security in a project. In my current role, each project adopts a cloud framework that suits the project the best. This framework is the base for our security measures in the cloud. From there, I always look to utilize a cloud service that encrypts our data and take all measures to steer away from storing sensitive information within the cloud. Last, as with any project, I help implement strict testing measures to check on the security of our cloud operations."

AWS offers its customers robust tools to help secure and prevent a loss of data. With that in mind, understanding the 5 pillars of Cloud Security is essential. AWS recommends focusing on IAM, Detective Controls, Infrastructure Protection, Data Protection, and Incident Response. No matter your role, following these principles with every implementation is vital to the success of the project.
