IAM improves cloud security management with hybrid network capabilities and global role access
In AWS Identity and Access Management solutions, CloudFormation tools are used to create templates. Having predefined templates available from the AWS team would be beneficial. Currently, security teams work on policies and scripts for creating generic AWS Identity and Access Management roles. If AWS could provide an option to automatically create templates based on desired access requirements, it would be extremely beneficial, especially for documentation and troubleshooting purposes. Storage gateway creation has limitations, allowing maximum of 50 SMB file shares per gateway. While it is costly to access S3 buckets via AWS Identity and Access Management role through storage gateway, companies invest in this for enhanced data security, particularly in financial sectors where data integrity is crucial. There is an ongoing issue where files are sometimes sent twice to S3 buckets, despite MoveIt logs showing single transmission. As a workaround, Lambda functions are implemented with a five-minute delay before processing files to downstream applications.

Identity governance has unified access control and now cuts audit workload across the company
The layer that I hear from my employees the most is pretty recent, I would say, maybe nine or ten months ago. That is the AI assistant, which I mean I am in this industry a long time and I am used to the fact you always need to go and learn query languages and work with professional services to understand pretty basic questions. Today, you can use the platform to run simple text questions. My employees talk about that as a cloud within Linx Security. The ease of use of asking questions and also asking the platform to take action is something that was very new to us. One of the things we were doing with that is automating our user access reviews through a very simple dashboard instead of working on our spreadsheets. That was a big benefit for us in the past year. It helped me reduce man-hours when it comes to analyzing the access. Once we were starting also to implement the user access reviews, that of course, reduced the man-hours. That is the main area at the beginning. I also got much better visibility on the overall posture of my identities, and I am being asked by auditors or cyber insurance reports to provide where we are on users. That gave me a very good place to be with my board and auditors. I would say reducing the work on my team was significant. There was also a point in time in which we were able to reduce the number of licenses that we are using on some applications, which was also a cost reduction. Nowadays, I mentioned the agents part, we are being asked about our controls around that area. Having a tool that can give some value in these areas gives me a lot of confidence and also our leadership that we are deploying agents in a responsible way. What gave them the perfect score, and I have been using other platforms in the past, is the fact that I can use one platform to cover humans, non-humans, and now agents. On the cost side, I feel I am making a good financial decision. On top of that, I would say that they are very quick to provide new features, to respond to our tickets. It seems that at least in the past two to three years, they were providing cutting-edge solutions.
