The Sound of Security

Published on

Summary

Security is more than a feature, it’s a pillar of the Well-Architected Framework. In this episode, Carl and Brandon explore how AWS, Azure, and GCP approach security across identity and access, infrastructure defense, data protection, monitoring, governance, and the shared responsibility model.

They compare tools and practices like IAM, RBAC, and conditional access; network firewalls, WAFs, and DDoS protection; encryption at rest and in transit; and incident detection and automated remediation. The conversation also dives into security testing, drift detection with IaC, compliance posture, and how policy enforcement differs across the big three. The episode closes with a reminder that cloud security is always shared, and is never finished.
