AWS Summit Series 2016 | Chicago - Network Security and Access Control within AWS

AWS provides security capabilities and services to provide control over your AWS resources, how they are accessed, who can access them, and what privileges they are allowed. Access Management, Identity management, change control, and auditing can all be achieved both at a macro and granular level.

In this session we’ll explore services such as AWS Identity Access Management (IAM), AWS CloudTrail, Amazon Directory Service and Amazon Inspector, so that you understand how use them effectively to manage user privilege and access. We’ll also look at Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and how to use it’s features to build security at the network access layer. After this session you should understand and be able to: Configure Users, Groups, and Roles to manage actions, Configure monitoring and logging to audit changes in your system, and Design your AWS network using VPC for security.
