responsibility model
For data protection purposes, we recommend that you protect AWS account credentials and set up individual user accounts with AWS Identity and Access Management) (IAM), so that each user is given only the permissions necessary to fulfill their job duties. We also recommend that you secure your data in the following ways:
-
Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) with each account.
-
Use SSL/TLS to communicate with AWS resources. We recommend TLS 1.2 or later.
-
Set up API and user activity logging with AWS CloudTrail.
-
Use AWS encryption solutions, along with all default security controls within AWS services.
-
Use advanced managed security services such as Amazon Macie, which assists in discovering and securing personal data that is stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
We strongly recommend that you never put sensitive identifying information, such as your
customers' account numbers, into free-form fields such as a Name
field. This
includes when you work with Amazon Lookout for Equipment or other AWS services using the console, API,
AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs. Any data that you enter into Amazon Lookout for Equipment or other services might get
picked up for inclusion in diagnostic logs. When you provide a URL to an external server,
don't include credentials information in the URL to validate your request to that
server.
