Happy Cyber Security Awareness Month!


In case you didn’t know, October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month.

When was the last time you did a security assessment of your infrastructure?

Here are just a few tips off the top of my head for those of you looking to polish up your infrastructure:

  • Audit your IAM roles.
  • Double check those Security Group rules.
  • Rotate those credentials.
  • Make sure your team is using MFA.
  • Turn on Cloud Trail and monitor it.
  • Turn on CW Metrics Alarms to alert you if your infrastructure goes rogue.
  • Set a billing budget to cap runaway costs if the worst does happen.

If you need help with this stuff, that is what we at Schematical do, so don’t hesitate to reach out.
