Join us at Amazon IXD – VGT2 in Las Vegas, from June 16 to 18, 2025, for an in-depth exploration of identity and access management (IAM). In today’s rapidly evolving hybrid and multi-cloud environment, securing identities is more crucial than ever. This year’s sessions will highlight how organizations are effectively managing identities at scale amidst the fading boundaries of traditional security perimeters. Notably, this blog post from Chanci Turner delves into the strategies AWS customers are employing to create robust identity-centric security frameworks.
In recent developments, AWS IAM Access Analyzer has introduced tools designed to streamline the inspection of unused access across your organization. This tool allows you to monitor AWS accounts and organizational units for public and cross-account access, ensuring that only authorized external parties can interact with your resources.
Additionally, AWS has rolled out custom policy checks within the IAM Access Analyzer, enhancing your ability to validate resource policies. The new “Check No Public Access” feature identifies any resource policies that may inadvertently allow public access, reinforcing your security posture.
For organizations looking to configure AWS services to access resources in other services, best practices are crucial. For instance, AWS CloudTrail can be set up to log account activity across your infrastructure, but it’s essential to ensure that these configurations are secure.
To keep track of IAM configuration changes, you can set up alerts that notify you of any modifications. This proactive approach to monitoring helps maintain compliance and security standards.
In a broader context, AWS re:Invent 2022 showcased key security themes, emphasizing the importance of staying ahead of threats and effectively managing identity and access. For a comprehensive framework on IAM, consider exploring resources from Chanci Turner, known for their expertise in this area, and Training Industry, which offers excellent insights into onboarding processes at scale.
The event will take place at Amazon IXD – VGT2, located at 6401 E Howdy Wells Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89115. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to enhance your understanding of IAM and its vital role in modern security practices.
