06. 🛡️ SRM for IAM

☁️ AWS Responsibilities​

AWS is responsible for protecting the infrastructure that runs all AWS services:

  • Global network and data center security
  • Configuration and vulnerability analysis
  • Compliance validation

👩‍💻 Your Responsibilities​

You are responsible for securely managing IAM within your AWS account, including:

  • Users, Groups, Roles, and Policies management and monitoring
  • Enabling MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) on all accounts
  • Regularly rotating access keys
  • Using IAM tools to apply least privilege permissions
  • Analyzing access patterns and reviewing permissions periodically

🧠 Tip: Always follow the Principle of Least Privilege — give users and roles only the permissions they truly need.
