This is our third blog post celebrating AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)‘s 10th anniversary. Explore two powerful ways that you can limit access to AWS by setting the boundaries and conditionally provide access to resources in IAM policies. Permissions boundaries can be used for situations like granting someone limited permissions management abilities, while conditions enable you to specify when a policy statement is enforced.

Dive deep on AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions and how the principle of least privilege can be best achieved when using AWS CloudFormation, and more specifically CloudFormation Modules, to provision resources on AWS. CloudFormation Modules are a way to package resource configurations for inclusion across stack templates, in a transparent, manageable, and repeatable way.

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)‘s 10th anniversary continues with Part 2 of our blog series. Writing an IAM policy can be tricky, but don’t feel overwhelmed. Learn how the IAM visual editor helps you create policies by providing helpful documentation and the correct syntax. You’ll also learn why you should use federation due to the short-term credentials made possible by IAM roles. More tips like these can be found throughout our 4-part blog series.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), which is essential in securing your applications and your AWS environment as a whole. To help you get the most out of this critical AWS service, we are excited to share a blog series featuring top recommendations for using IAM from AWS Heroes and APN Ambassadors, who will share recommendations which are driven from personal experiences using a service that’s foundational for the security of AWS customers.

An often-overlooked aspect of migration is the configuration checks on the underlying cloud infrastructure. In order to make sure the foundational infrastructure is safe, secure and compliant, there’s a need to validate the cloud configuration early in the migration cycle. Infosys has developed an innovative automation solution that addresses the need for secure configuration reviews, while ensuring agility and reliability through the migration journey.

One of the first steps for organizations adopting AWS is migrating data from an on-premises environment or existing cloud to AWS. Many legal and regulatory requirements make it imperative to know the cause and reason for collection, storage, and usage of data, as well as the exact physical location of the data. Learn how Dataguise, a PKWARE company, helps organizations minimize risk and cost during the data migration process.

AWS recently launched a new feature as part of its Amazon Route 53 service, called Route 53 Resolver Query Logging. This new service enables organizations to retrieve logs of their Domain Name System (DNS) queries originating from resources within their VPCs. Learn how these logs can be analyzed as part of the Radware Cloud Native Protector Service (CNP), which provides a range of fully managed, enterprise-grade cloud security solutions to protect applications running in public clouds.

Implementing effective threat detection for applications in the cloud requires visibility into all aspects of your infrastructure and workloads. By taking advantage of AWS services, you’re freed to focus on the applications that drive your business. Security in the cloud is a shared responsibility between AWS and the customer, however, and Sysdig’s cloud security platform helps you follow security best practices and simplify the work of securing your AWS account and workloads.

Secure Cloud Foundation is a fully managed platform-as-a-service offering from Infosys Compaz (iCompaz), an Infosys Limited joint venture. It provides a managed platform with foundational secure landing zone capabilities, as well as application and workload hosting capabilities. Secure Cloud Foundation helps customers achieve enterprise-grade security for their workloads running on AWS. In this post, walk through typical customer cloud adoption scenarios that could leverage the Secure Cloud Foundation.

With the move to cloud, there has been a paradigm shift in how we protect our most valuable asset—data. Learn the importance of building a complete and accurate risk profile, which consists of your identity and data relationships. You’ll also learn how it’s critical to protect the sensitive, private, and confidential data. Sonrai Dig graphically maps all of your identities and determines their effective permissions, allowing you to get to least privilege across your entire AWS environment.
