Conclusion
Implementing robust security practices is crucial for CSPs to safeguard their network workloads and protect customer data. The constantly evolving threat landscape requires CSPs to proactively address potential threats and risks to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their services.
CSPs looking to adopt the AWS Cloud because of its many benefits can take advantage of AWS infrastructure, security services, shared responsibility, and security design principles from the Security Pillar of the Well-Architected Framework. This helps CSPs to design, deploy, and operate telco workloads securely in the AWS Cloud, while adhering to requirements and proactively reducing risk.
From this whitepaper, CSPs can take away various design principles that they should look to incorporate into their workload architectures, such as zero trust, application security using threat modeling, and confidential compute to protect data throughout its lifecycle. This whitepaper outlined example architectures that incorporate these principles, and the recommendations set forth throughout serve as a starting point for CSPs to understand how they can plan and implement their target security posture in the cloud. CSPs should consider this whitepaper with their plans to run telco network workloads on AWS to get insights on how they should define their security on AWS, and how AWS can help fulfill their security needs.
