This course was developed by members of AWS Technical Field Communities (TFC), an AWS community of technical experts. The content is intended to complement our standard training curriculum and augment your AWS learning journey. We are aware some courses have accessibility limitations and are working to address.

Learners will discover how to use AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) data to identify potential security risks in their AWS environment. The course covers querying CUR data with Amazon Athena to detect issues such as unencrypted Amazon CloudFront traffic. Participants learn why each risk matters, how to spot it in billing data, and gain ready-to-use SQL queries for detection. This approach turns routine cost data into a security monitoring tool -- helping teams uncover compliance gaps and vulnerabilities they might otherwise miss.
