Security best practices and use cases in AWS Identity and Access Management (original) (raw)

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) offers several security features to consider as you develop and implement your own security policies. The following best practices are general guidelines and don't represent a complete security solution.

These best practices may not be appropriate or sufficient for your specific environment. Therefore, treat them as helpful considerations rather than requirements.

To get the most out of IAM, take the time to learn the recommended best practices. One effective way to do this is to see how IAM is used in real-world scenarios to work with other AWS services.
