Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll bring visibility to customer AWS accounts using AWS CloudTrail, a vital tool that provides insight into all API actions invoked in consumer accounts. To achieve your objective, you’ll iteratively develop infrastructure as code in the form of AWS CloudFormation templates, then learn to address cross-account automation issues.
This project is a part of the series AWS Security: Audit and Intrusion Detection Automation.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
prerequisites
This liveProject series is intended for security engineers with intermediate experience in AWS and infrastructure as code. You will need to be familiar with the following:
TOOLS- Basic knowledge of *nix/bash command shell, including pipes, redirection, command substitution
- Basic knowledge of the Git version control system
- Basic hands-on experience with AWS CloudFormation
- Basic hands-on experience with the AWS CLI
- Intermediate knowledge of AWS accounts and AWS Organizations
- Basic knowledge of IAM, AWS CloudTrail, and assuming cross-account IAM roles
- Intermediate understanding of cloud computing and the AWS platform
- Basic understanding of “infrastructure as code”
