The main purpose of the AWS Virtual Private Cloud is to keep any devices that want to avoid unauthorized access outside of public reach. Certain applications and top-priority data is kept explicitly within a confined network defined by the permissions the users set for the organization. However, there are a number of potential vulnerabilities that could occur that are all based on user-error and improper configuration of the VPC. AWS operates on shared responsibility and it’s partially down to the user to uphold their half.
