How I Built an AWS Cloud Security Project as a University Student
Andrei Corpo, a university student, developed an AWS cloud security project called SecurePath. This system monitors and remediates misconfigurations in real time using five independent security layers. Through testing, SecurePath detected multiple security findings and provided valuable insights into cloud architecture.
- ▪SecurePath is a Cloud Security Posture Management system built entirely on AWS.
- ▪The project runs five independent Lambda-based security layers to monitor different areas of the cloud environment.
- ▪After testing, the system detected 15 security findings with a 26.7% auto-remediation rate.

I built SecurePath — an automated AWS cloud security project that monitors and remediates misconfigurations in real time. Here's what it does, how I built it, and what I learned.
