Block Public Access to the S3 bucket!

<h2>Introduction</h2> Amazon Simple Storage Service (AWS S3) is a strong and well-known tool for keeping and getting data of any size. It’s easy to use, can grow with your needs, and works quickly, which makes it a popular choice for many different kinds of data storage tasks. However, because it’s so flexible, making sure the data kept there is safe becomes a very important matter. I have witnessed numerous companies struggle to secure their S3 buckets adequately, often due to overlooking some basic rules. In this post, I aim to delve into the intricacies of S3 security and provide a comprehensive guide on how to fortify it. S3, compared to other AWS services, has its own unique style when it comes to permissions. Like, in many services, you just need to have the right permissions set for your user or role, and you’re good to go. But S3 plays by its own rules. It’s S3 that calls the shots on who gets to see what, making it a tight ship security-wise. However, there’s a little twist. This flexibility can sometimes lead to oops moments, like accidentally giving away too much access or, yikes, making the bucket public. So, while S3’s way of handling permissions is solid for keeping things locked down, it does need a careful eye to avoid any slip-ups. <a href="https://itnext.io/block-public-access-to-the-s3-bucket-77dc4e97e2d7">Learn More</a>
