WHY THE AWS CERTIFIED SECURITY - SPECIALTY IS WORTH GETTING
BY ANDRU ESTES | APRIL 17, 2023
The year is 2040. ChatGPT and other AI services have teamed up to overthrow the
human race. Corporate data centers are a thing of the past. Only public cloud
providers remain. The evil AI services are close to overthrowing the world. All
they need to do is take over one final system that lives within AWS...
Insert dramatic music
From the data center rubble and dust, a lone individual appears. They approach
the AI services with confidence only seen before the year 2020. Slowly, they
hold up a piece of paper (old technology used by humans for storing information)
to reveal something written on it.
(GASP) It’s the coveted AWS Certified Security - Specialty exam certification
badge!
Also known as SCS-C01, the certification is one of the most respected in the
industry, and the AI services know it. Nobody could obtain that difficult
certification, especially not a human! It's impossible!
They’re in utter panic. They don’t know how to defeat this super-powered,
certified individual. They go around and around in circles trying to find a
solution. Eventually, the influx of requests overwhelms their fragile
infrastructure. They crash. Permanently. Ha! They didn't know about fault
tolerance and high availability. Amateurs.
The world celebrates, vowing to mark this day forevermore as the day the hero
helped “secure” humanity’s future.
Fin.
OKAY, A BIT FAR-FETCHED. BUT HAVING THE SCS-C01 IS VALUABLE!
Let’s face it, public cloud technology hasn’t just gone mainstream. It’s just
become the norm. According to Gartner, more than 80% of organizations use more
than one cloud provider (compared to 49% in 2017), with 75% of organizations
defaulting to multi cloud environments. As a result, being proficient in
multiple cloud providers is a “unicorn” skill in the hiring market.
Cloud computing forced us to rethink how we design and deploy architectures, so
why would security be any different? This naturally leads to some business
challenges as well.
Let's actually talk about a few of those challenges, before we explore how
studying and getting your AWS Certified Cloud Security - Specialty equips you to
solve them. Below are the top five cloud security challenges most companies
face.
1. DATA CHALLENGES
Many companies find it challenging to secure their data within the cloud
correctly. If you need an example, search for Amazon S3 public data leaks. I'll
wait...
Crazy, isn't it? Plain and simple, securing data can be tricky. Especially when
you have to worry about new and upcoming data sovereignty laws, compliance
requirements, data geolocation regulations, and other issues. All it takes is
one misconfiguration, and a company can face massive lawsuits and fines.
2. SECURING INFRASTRUCTURE
Designing a truly secure cloud architecture is complex, with many nooks and
crannies to account for. It takes a lot of time and knowledge. To make things
more challenging, there is no "One Size Fits All" approach, either.
3. AUTHN AND AUTHZ
Let's face it, implementing authorization and authentication within the public
cloud can be a nightmare. If you have ten people, it's no biggie from an
end-user perspective. But what about services within the cloud? You still have
to account for those as well.
And guess what? Every AWS service that needs to perform some action in a
workflow requires the proper permissions to make the required API call. So don't
give it too many permissions! You have to find the exact right amount, and
anyone dealing with AWS IAM long enough knows the headache that entails.
Admins often slap an AWS Managed Policy on there, like AmazonS3FullAccess, and
call it good. I can see you shaking your head from here, and I agree.
4. AUTOMATION (THE RIGHT WAY)
We have also seen an explosion in using infrastructure as code tools to deploy
architecture components to the cloud. Things like AWS CloudFormation and
HashiCorp Terraform have brought the ability to maintain an SDLC approach to
deploying resources for operations teams.
That adds even more complexity. How can you best secure deployments? Who can
deploy and update what? How are you sharing the current state of configurations?
What happens when resources drift? It's a pain, but we can make it slightly less
painful by following proper security best practices.
5. REPORTING AND AUDITING
Last, everyone's favorite subject: audits. For those of you lucky enough to have
gone through a full audit process (sarcasm), you know how much documentation and
reporting are required to pass. For those of you who have not, consider yourself
lucky. Take our word for it; it is a ton of documentation. Seriously, a ton.
Of course, all these issues are only the biggest issues. Trust me when I say
that the list of security challenges is almost endless!
HOW STUDYING FOR THE SCS-C01 HELPS YOU SOLVE REAL-WORLD PROBLEMS
It would be nice if we could wave a certification, like in our story above, and
cybersecurity problems solved themselves! That said, it’s not really the
certification that does anything (other than get you interviews and pay rises),
it’s the knowledge you gain when you study for the exam that equips you to solve
real business issues.
Here is a fraction of the things you learn to pass the AWS Certified Security -
Speciality exam:
* How to efficiently secure AWS data like encrypting data in transit and at
rest
* How to isolate permissions using different KMS keys for encryption or even
leverage complex Amazon S3 bucket policies to restrict non-HTTPs traffic and
non-organizational access to objects
* The options for identity provider management, including AWS IAM Identity
Center (formerly AWS SSO), Amazon Cognito, and AWS Managed Microsoft AD.
* Tools to use in AWS to deploy resources, as well as how to securely
orchestrate workflows using serverless technologies
* The correct VPN solution for accessing VPCs from an on-premise location, how
to use Lambda@Edge to inject custom HTTP security headers, and how to connect
to managed compute without the need for SSH or RDP
* How to make pass audits (without tearing your hair out) with AWS tools like
AWS Security Hub, Amazon Macie, and AWS Artifact
THE AWS CERTIFIED SECURITY - SPECIALTY ALSO HITS THE TECH-DEMAND TRIFECTA
No matter which report you open (Gartner, StackOverflow, or Pluralsight),
there’s three dominant tech themes in 2023: cloud, cybersecurity, and data. The
SCS-C01 hits all of these. But here are some other stats worth mentioning:
* In Pluralsight’s State of Upskilling 2022, tech leaders reported the #1
skills gap they were facing was in cybersecurity, followed by cloud computing
in #2 and data storage at #3
* IT Security Professionals were also the most in-demand for important tech
initiatives, according to the ITC 2022 Future Enterprise Resiliency &
Spending Survey
* According to Pluralsight’s State of Cloud 2022, while 75% of organizations
are building new products and features in the cloud by default, only 8% of
technologists claim extensive experience with cloud-related tools
* Among cloud providers, AWS is still the industry leader, which makes it a
great choice for a cloud cert
STUDYING FOR THE AWS CERTIFIED SECURITY - SPECIALITY IS GOOD FOR EVERYONE
INVOLVED
Getting the AWS Certified Security - Specialist certification is good for
solving real-world problems and maximizes your personal value. So if you’re
thinking about going for it, do it! Who knows, you may very well find yourself
trying to save your company from AI monsters one day.
