Resource-Policies in Identity Access Management

In AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), Resource Policies are used to control access to specific AWS resources, such as S3 buckets, SNS topics, or Lambda functions. Unlike identity policies that grant permissions to IAM users or roles, resource policies are directly attached to the resource, defining who can access the resource and under what…

Identity-Based Policies in Identity Access Management

In AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), Identity-Based Policies are used to assign permissions to IAM users, groups, or roles. These policies define what actions are allowed or denied on specified resources, based on the identity of the user or role performing the action. Identity-based policies are essential for controlling access to AWS resources and…

Assuming Roles in Identity Access Management

In AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), assuming roles allows entities (users, applications, or services) to temporarily gain access to resources with a specific set of permissions. This practice enhances security by adhering to the principle of least privilege and facilitates cross-account or intra-account access management. Below is a comprehensive guide to implementing role assumption…

RBAC : Infra security POV

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is an essential paradigm in infrastructure security that aligns user permissions with defined roles within an organization. By granting access based on predefined roles rather than individual user attributes, RBAC simplifies access management, enhances security, and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements. This article delves deep into the mechanics, benefits, and implementation…

PKI : Infra Security POV

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a critical component of modern infrastructure security, providing a framework for secure communications and data exchange over untrusted networks, like the internet. PKI leverages asymmetric cryptography to ensure confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation, fundamental to securing digital interactions. This article explores PKI’s role in infrastructure security, its components, implementation challenges,…

Auth Strategy: Infra Security POV

An authentication strategy is the cornerstone of infrastructure security, serving as the first line of defense against unauthorized access and data breaches. By validating the identity of users, devices, or systems attempting to access resources, a robust authentication strategy ensures the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of critical assets. This article explores advanced authentication mechanisms, their…
