This podcast deals with "Security In Cloud" and "Security of Cloud" as well as gets into the details of best practices for safeguarding your Server (EC2). Collection of simple best practices (outlined below) will go a long way in safeguarding your server  

1-Timely Patching of Guest OS

2- Avoiding downloads from untrusted sites

3- Avoiding default Security groups 

4- Isolating your machines(even if it needs to be public-facing) in private subnets and connecting through load balancers

5- Avoiding Open to internet SSH

6- Evaluating SSM as an option than SSH

7- Harnessing WAF - Firewall to detect and prevent SQL injection

8- AWS Shield to prevent DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service)

9- AWS Inspector for accessing vulnerabilities

The above guidelines are not one time but need to be repeated periodically so that you can stay at top of security
