About This Architecture

Seven-layer defense-in-depth security stack for Korean VASPs on AWS, combining perimeter defense (AWS Shield Advanced, WAF, FortiGate NGFW), identity controls (IAM Identity Center, FIDO2 MFA, SCPs), secure access (WorkSpaces VDI, DBSafer, Session Manager), cryptographic controls (KMS, CloudHSM FIPS 140-2, Secrets Manager), threat detection (GuardDuty, Inspector v2, Trend Micro), immutable logging (CloudTrail, S3 Object Lock WORM), and VASP compliance (AML Engine, Travel Rule Connector, Chainalysis KYT). Data flows from internet users through perimeter defenses into segregated access zones, with all activity logged to immutable S3 and monitored via Security Hub and OpenSearch. This architecture demonstrates defense-in-depth principles critical for regulated financial infrastructure handling cryptocurrency and meeting Korean regulatory requirements. Fork this diagram on Diagrams.so to customize for your VASP's threat model, compliance scope, or multi-region deployment. Consider adding VPC Flow Logs and EventBridge integrations for real-time compliance alerting across your VASP operations.

How should a Korean VASP architect a secure, compliant AWS infrastructure for cryptocurrency operations?

This 7-layer AWS security stack provides Korean VASPs a defense-in-depth model spanning perimeter (Shield, WAF, FortiGate), identity (IAM Identity Center, FIDO2), access (WorkSpaces, DBSafer), crypto (KMS, CloudHSM), threat detection (GuardDuty, Inspector), immutable logging (CloudTrail, S3 Object Lock), and compliance (AML Engine, Travel Rule Connector, Chainalysis). Each layer isolates risk and
