The more ISVs move into a multi-tenant model, the more concern they may have about the potential for one tenant to access the resources of another tenant. SaaS systems include […]

Securely share sensitive data with time-limited, nonce-enhanced presigned URLs that prevent replay attacks, minimizing exposure risks through granular access controls and rigorous monitoring.

In this post, we’ll show how you can use AWS Private Certificate Authority (AWS Private CA) to issue a wide range of X.509 certificates that are tailored for specific use cases. These use-case bound certificates have their intended purpose defined within the certificate components, such as the Key Usage and Extended Key usage extensions. We […]

A data perimeter on Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a set of preventive controls you can use to help establish a boundary around your data in AWS Organizations. This boundary helps ensure that your data can be accessed only by trusted identities from within networks you expect and that the data cannot be transferred outside […]

This blog post is the first of a two-part series that will demonstrate the value of Amazon Security Lake and how you can use it and other resources to accelerate your incident response (IR) capabilities.
