## What it is
A code library of example solutions from AWS that demonstrates how to deploy security services across a multi-account AWS Organizations environment, with or without AWS Control Tower, following the AWS Security Reference Architecture. It provides deployment automation via CloudFormation (including Customizations for AWS Control Tower) and Terraform.

## Use cases
- implement aws security reference architecture patterns
- deploy security services across aws organizations multi-account environment
- set up security baseline for aws control tower landing zone
- automate aws security configuration with cloudformation
- deploy aws security controls with terraform
- bootstrap security tooling in a new aws landing zone

## When to choose
- you are building or operating an AWS multi-account environment with Organizations or Control Tower
- you want AWS-vetted reference implementations of security services
- you need deployable CloudFormation or Terraform examples rather than documentation alone

## When to avoid
- you are not using AWS or are on another cloud provider
- you need a general-purpose IaC framework rather than AWS-specific security examples
- you want a turnkey product with support instead of sample code you must adapt
