Security Best Practices for AWS Database Services

Security Best Practices for AWS Database Services

Protecting Your Data in the Cloud

Database Security Fundamentals

Implement these foundational security practices across all AWS database services

Encryption

Enable encryption at rest and in transit for all database services

Access Controls

Implement least privilege IAM permissions and service-specific access controls

Network Security

Use VPC, security groups, and network ACLs to restrict network access

Monitoring & Auditing

Enable CloudTrail, AWS Config, and service-specific logging

Amazon RDS Security

  • Use Security Groups

    Restrict inbound access to specific CIDR ranges and security groups

  • Enable SSL/TLS for connections

    Force all database connections to use encryption in transit

  • Implement IAM Database Authentication

    Use IAM roles and users for database authentication

  • Enable Automated Backups

    Configure backups with appropriate retention periods

Security Note: Rotate database credentials regularly and avoid hardcoding them in application code

DynamoDB Security

  • Fine-grained access control

    Use IAM policies with conditions to restrict access to specific items and attributes

  • VPC Endpoints

    Use VPC endpoints to access DynamoDB without traversing the public internet

  • Enable Point-in-time Recovery

    Protect against accidental writes or deletes with continuous backups

  • Use CMKs for enhanced encryption

    Utilize customer-managed KMS keys for more control over encryption

Security Note: When using Global Tables, ensure IAM policies account for multi-region resources

Redshift Security

  • Configure cluster encryption

    Enable encryption at rest for the entire cluster and specify KMS key

  • Enhanced VPC Routing

    Enable to ensure traffic between your cluster and data repositories flows through your VPC

  • Column-level access controls

    Restrict access to sensitive columns using view-based access control

  • Audit logging

    Enable audit logging to track connection attempts, queries, and changes

Security Note: Regularly audit user permissions and rotate admin credentials

Good vs. Bad Security Practices

Recommended Security Practices

  • Enforce least privilege access at all times
  • Use parameter/secret stores for credentials
  • Encrypt data both at rest and in transit
  • Implement VPC endpoints for private communications
  • Monitor and alert on suspicious activities

Security Anti-Patterns to Avoid

  • Using public access for database instances
  • Hardcoding credentials in application code
  • Overly permissive IAM policies and security groups
  • Disabling encryption features to save costs
  • Neglecting regular security audits and updates

Security is Everyone's Responsibility

Remember that AWS provides the tools but security implementation follows the shared responsibility model. You are responsible for security in the cloud while AWS is responsible for security of the cloud.
