Security management - AMS Advanced User Guide

Security management

AWS Managed Services (AMS) security management is the process by which AMS identifies an organization's assets and implements policies and procedures to protect those assets.

Note

AMS now has a change type (CT), Deployment | Advanced stack components | ACM certificate with additional SANs | Create (ct-3l14e139i5p50), that you can use to submit a request for an AWS Certificate Manager certificate. For information, see AWS::CertificateManager::Certificate. This CT provides for the creation of additional subject alternative name (SAN).

To better understand general AWS security, see Best Practices for Security, Identity, & Compliance.

AMS categorizes security risks as follows:

  • Known risks detected by anti-malware, which the malware mitigation process handles.

  • Security events including access breaches, which the security event management process handles.
