Least Privilege

NIST Special Publication 1800-35 (SP 1800-35) is a comprehensive guide developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help organizations implement a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) in modern enterprise environments. This publication is the result of collaborative work between NIST’s National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) and 24 industry vendors, aimed at demonstrating end-to-end zero trust solutions using commercially available technologies.

While multicloud architectures streamline infrastructure management for organizations, they introduce significant complexities in security management. To effectively oversee security in a multicloud environment, organizations must implement a strategic approach that addresses the unique challenges presented by these platforms.

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a comprehensive framework of business processes, policies, and technologies designed to manage digital identities and control user access to an organization’s resources. The core purpose of IAM is to ensure that the right individuals—whether employees, contractors, partners, or devices—have the appropriate access to technology resources at the right times and for the right reasons, while preventing unauthorized access.

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service that enables you to securely control access to AWS resources. IAM allows you to manage who can authenticate (sign in) and who is authorized (has permissions) to use resources within your AWS account.

The term “CIS TRIAD” in cybersecurity typically refers to the “CIA Triad,” a foundational model that defines the three core principles essential for protecting information and managing cybersecurity risks: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.
