In a live demo, we show you how to track changes, monitor compliance, and keep an audit record of API requests.
Learning Objectives:
• Learn what IAM is and how to leverage it appropriately.
• Gain familiarity with how to track changes and monitor for compliance.
• Keep an audit record of API requests for reporting purposes.
• Understand how these services complement each other.
In this session we'll look at aspects affecting your account management before and after AWS Organizations, how AWS Organizations can programmatically create and manage your AWS accounts and apply organisational controls with familiar policies across these accounts to meet your business needs. We'll also cover best practices and troubleshooting tips to get you started.

Best Practices for Managing Security Operations in AWS - March 2017 AWS Onlin...Amazon Web Services
To help prevent unexpected access to your AWS resources, it is critical to maintain strong identity and access policies. It is equally important to track and alert on changes to your AWS resources. In this tech talk, you will learn how to use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to control access to your AWS resources and integrate your existing authentication system with AWS IAM. We will cover how you can deploy and control your AWS infrastructure using code templates, including change management policies with AWS CloudFormation. In addition, we will explore different options for managing both your AWS access logs and your Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) system logs using Amazon CloudWatch Logs. We also will cover how to use these logs to implement an audit and compliance validation process using services such as AWS Config, AWS CloudTrail, and Amazon Inspector.
Learning Objectives:
• Understand the AWS Shared Responsibility Model.
• Understand AWS account and identity management options and configuration.
• Learn the concept of infrastructure as code and change management using AWS CloudFormation.
• Learn how to audit and log your AWS service usage.
• Learn about AWS services to add automatic compliance checks to your AWS infrastructure.

Understanding AWS Identity and Access Management | AWS Public Sector Summit 2016Amazon Web Services
The AWS cloud provides a rich set of options around identity and access management. On the identity side, AWS has built-in identities that you can directly manage or synchronize, rich federation support with corporate or web identity systems, and also integration with AWS Directory Service. On the access management side, all AWS services share a powerful access control model and policy language, and some provide resource-based policies as well. In this session, we survey these rich capabilities and show how they integrate with existing identity systems.

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”
