🏇 Starting in a few minutes: "Building for the future with @AWSIdentity Services" with Karen Haberkorn, Director of Product Management for AWS Identity 💫 I'll be tweeting the highlights. @AWSIdentity @AWSSecurityInfo #reInforce
1/ Building for the future with @AWSIdentity Services: Karen notes our exceptional year - not just for humans, but also for companies, who have shifted to accommodate remote work; a shift to remote identities and their access controls. @AWSIdentity @AWSSecurityInfo #reInforce
3/ "ZT is a conceptual model and an associated set of mechanisms that focus on providing security controls around digital assets that do not solely or fundamentally depend on traditional network controls or network perimeters." @AWSIdentity @AWSSecurityInfo #reInforce
1/ 🚀🚀🚀IAM actions last accessed by users or roles your AWS account: in addition to S3 mgmt actions, you now can see when Amazon EC2, AWS IAM, and AWS Lambda actions were last used! Here I can see that I just attempted a DeleteRole & DeletePolicy in the #AWSIAM service:
2/ In addition to viewing actions last accessed in the console, you can also view them programmatically for the services that support it, see (boto3 docs): boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentati…
3/ For some IAM console and AWS CLI examples, read more about this on the AWS Security Blog: aws.amazon.com/blogs/security…
⏱️Starting now! ⏱️ @AWSIdentity – presenting our session SEC316 with Brigid @bjohnso5y on Access Control Confidence. 💪⚡ I will be live tweeting the highlights!
@AWSIdentity @bjohnso5y Access control is a journey towards least privilege. Brigid is going to share with us how to make it a confident one.
@AWSIdentity @bjohnso5y Access control confidence. Brigid breaks it down into three parts – permission guardrails, attribute-based access control, and reining in permissions using analytics.
