Best Practices for S3 Security
- Enable Access Logging: Track all S3 API calls for auditing and security analysis.
- Enforce Encryption: Encrypting the data at rest and in transit using AWS KMS or customer-managed keys.
- Implement Strict Access Controls: Use IAM policies, bucket policies, and access control lists to restrict access.
- Enable Versioning: Protect against accidental deletion or overwrites.
- Utilize MFA Delete: Require multi-factor authentication for deleting objects.
- Monitor Activity: Regularly review S3 logs and CloudTrail events for suspicious activity.
- Integrate with Security Hub: Leverage Security Hub’s features for S3 security assessment and compliance.
