As an experienced AWS Security Engineer with a profound background in Cloud Computing and Cloud Security, I am confident in my ability to address your urgent AWS security needs. My vast knowledge in IAM, CloudTrail, EC2, RDS - including the ability to rotate IAM access keys safely and securely update applications- aligns perfectly with your project's requirements. In my previous security incident response experiences, I've adeptly leveraged GuardDuty and Security Hub to identify suspicious activities, eliminate unauthorized access, and thoroughly audit resources just as your project scope demands.

Hire me if you need this AWS security incident handled quickly and carefully, without adding risk to your production environment. I’ve worked hands-on with AWS security incidents involving IAM access key exposure, account restrictions, and urgent remediation with AWS Support. I understand the balance required in these situations—moving fast to meet deadlines while making every change safely and deliberately. I can immediately rotate and invalidate exposed IAM access keys, update applications securely, and clean up IAM by removing unused users and restricting console access. I’ll perform a structured CloudTrail review across all regions for the last six months to identify suspicious activity, determine the exposure source, and confirm whether any unauthorized usage occurred. I’ll also audit EC2, Lambda, Spot usage, and billing to ensure nothing unexpected is running or being charged. On the hardening side, I’ll rotate the RDS master password, enable and configure GuardDuty and Security Hub, apply OS-level security updates, and create a hardened Golden AMI to establish a trusted baseline. You’ll receive a clear investigation summary covering root cause, fixes applied, and prevention steps. I’m comfortable preparing and submitting the AWS Support response and working with them until access is fully restored.
