Zero Trust Security is quickly rising as a preferred alternative to traditional security approaches. The key enabling technology underlying the Zero Trust Security approach is Next-Gen Access, which combines the critical capabilities of such technologies as Identity as a Service (IDaaS), enterprise mobility management (EMM), and privileged access management (PAM). In this session, we highlight AWS security best practices in a Zero Trust Security model. Specifically, we explore securing the AWS root account, controlling access to the AWS Management Console and AWS CLI, and managing developer access to Amazon EC2 instances and the containerized applications that run on them. This session is brought to you by AWS partner, Centrify.
