Monitor Security Logs: Regularly review security logs to ensure that any suspicious or unauthorized activity is identified and addressed in a timely manner.
Implement Network Access Controls: Utilize network access controls to limit access to specific IP addresses and regions.
Use AWS Organizations: Use AWS Organizations to manage multiple AWS accounts and enforce security policies across all accounts.
Set Up a Backup and Disaster Recovery Plan: Create a backup and disaster recovery plan to ensure that data is protected in the event of a disruption or data loss.
