This repository contains educational AWS projects and infrastructure configurations. While these projects are designed for learning purposes, we still maintain security best practices to ensure:

• Safe Code Examples: All code examples follow AWS security best practices
• Secure Infrastructure Templates: AWS Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates implement security controls
• No Sensitive Data: No AWS credentials, API keys, or sensitive data are stored in this repository
• Educational Security: AWS security concepts are properly explained and demonstrated

   • Affected AWS project/component
   • Steps to reproduce
   • Potential impact
   • Suggested fix (if available)

• Critical: Within 24 hours
• High: Within 48 hours
• Medium: Within 72 hours
• Low: Within 1 week

• VPC Security: Proper network segmentation, security groups, and NACLs
• IAM Policies: Principle of least privilege and AWS IAM best practices
• Encryption: AWS KMS encryption for data at rest and TLS for data in transit
• Monitoring: AWS CloudTrail, CloudWatch, and GuardDuty implementations
• Bucket Security: S3 bucket policies, encryption, and access controls

• Container Security: Secure ECR configurations and image scanning
• Lambda Security: Proper IAM roles and VPC configurations
