SUMMARY:Webinar | IAM Done Right
DESCRIPTION:AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the foundation of every secure AWS environment\, yet misconfigurations remain the #1 cause of cloud breaches on AWS. Too often\, policies are copied from Stack Overflow\, roles default to AdministratorAccess\, and access goes unaudited. \nIn this WiCyS webinar\, Amazon demystifies AWS IAM from the ground up\, covering why identity is the new perimeter\, the principles of least privilege\, IAM roles\, policy design\, and AWS-native tools that keep you secure. \nThrough live Console demos and real-world breach case studies\, you’ll leave with practical skills to audit\, tighten\, and maintain IAM in your own accounts. Whether writing your first IAM policy or managing a multi-account AWS Organization\, this session provides a clear framework to get IAM right and keep it right. \nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live.
