Securing Amazon S3 Buckets

If you have recently received an email from Amazon with the subject line "Securing Amazon S3 Buckets", what that means is that the security policy for the folders listed in the email are "public", meaning that the contents of the folder can be listed.

Best practice for folders are that the Security Policy should be private, so the contents are not listed.

To set the Security Policy for the folder to be private, log into your eZs3.com account, and click on Browse Files button at the top of the screen.

Locate the folder that is listed in the email and click to open

In the folder menu, click on the Folder Access Control button

Set the policy for the folder to be the same as the image below, with All Users and Authenticated Users denied access

Click on Modify Folder Access to set the policy for that folder, and then repeat for any other folders listed in the email
