Which service evaluates your account to optimize AWS infrastructure and improve security performance?

AWS Trusted Advisor is designed to evaluate your AWS account and provide real-time guidance to help you optimize your infrastructure, improve security, and reduce costs. It delivers recommendations across various categories, including performance, security, fault tolerance, and service limits.

When it comes to security, AWS Trusted Advisor assesses your account based on best practices and offers actionable insights that can help you tighten security measures. For example, it can identify underutilized resources, ensure IAM permissions are well-managed, and recommend enabling multifactor authentication (MFA) on the root account, all contributing to a more secure AWS environment.

Other services mentioned serve different purposes: AWS Config focuses on monitoring and assessing the configuration of AWS resources; Amazon GuardDuty provides threat detection and continuous monitoring for malicious activities; while Amazon CloudWatch is primarily for monitoring and logging the operational health of AWS resources. These services are valuable for specific aspects of security and performance, but none of them performs the comprehensive evaluation and optimization function that AWS Trusted Advisor provides across multiple dimensions.
