Course Overview
Introduction
This Lab is to demonstrate the use of selected AWS security services with an arrangement according to a Security Framework echoing lecture’s contents. NIST here is the chosen framework, and of course, it will depend on the final chosen security framework in the lecture.
NIST’s security framework core consists of five concurrent and continuous Functions. They are Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover. These Functions provide a high-level and strategic view of the lifecycle of an organisation’s management of cybersecurity risk. The selected AWS security services in the Lab are arranged and categorised into these Functions to form a complete lifecycle of Security strategy.
Preparation
GitLab is used as an example in the Labs. The app and its data one of the organisation assets, which is in the scope of cybersecurity protection.
