Back to Basics: Implementing a Strong Identity Foundation for Internal Users

Опубликовано 18 апреля 2024, 16:29

Just like a house needs a strong foundation, your cloud applications require a solid identity foundation to securely grow and scale over time. In this episode, Gerardo covers 4 key identity principles:
1️⃣ Centralize identities using a provider like AWS Single Sign-On instead of creating separate IAM users. Manage all access from one place!
2️⃣ Eliminate static long-term access credentials. AWS SSO enables temporary, seamless credentials for enhanced security.
3️⃣ Secure and avoid using the powerful AWS root user account. Enable multi-factor authentication and grant least privilege.
4️⃣ Grant least privilege access to internal users via scoped IAM policies defining allowed actions/resources. AWS SSO simplifies policy management!

Learn these core identity best practices to build a strong access control foundation for your AWS cloud workloads. Implement them easily using AWS SSO!
