Section 2: AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)

© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved.
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)

• Use IAM to manage access to AWS resources –

• A resource is an entity in an AWS account that you can work with
• Example resources; An Amazon EC2 instance or an Amazon S3 bucket

• Example – Control who can terminate Amazon EC2 instances

AWS Identity and Access

• Define fine-grained access rights – Management
• Who can access the resource (IAM)
• Which resources can be accessed and what can the user do to the resource
• How resources can be accessed

• IAM is a no-cost AWS account feature

© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. 16
IAM: Essential components

A person or application that can authenticate with an AWS

account.
IAM user

A collection of IAM users that are granted identical

authorization.
IAM group

The document that defines which resources can be

accessed and the level of access to each resource.
IAM policy

Useful mechanism to grant a set of permissions for

IAM role making AWS service requests.

© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. 17
Authenticate as an IAM user to gain access

When you define an IAM user, you select what types of access the user is permitted to use.

Programmatic access
• Authenticate using:
• Access key ID
AWS CLI AWS Tools
• Secret access key and SDKs
• Provides AWS CLI and AWS SDK access

AWS Management Console access

• Authenticate using:
• 12-digit Account ID or alias
• IAM user name AWS Management
Console
• IAM password
• If enabled, multi-factor authentication (MFA) prompts for an authentication code.

© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. 18
IAM MFA
• MFA provides increased security.

• In addition to user name and password, MFA requires a unique

authentication code to access AWS services.

User name and

password

MFA token

 IAM: Authorization

• Assign permissions by creating an IAM policy.

• Permissions determine which resources and operations are allowed:

• All permissions are implicitly denied by default.
• If something is explicitly denied, it is never allowed.

Best practice: Follow the principle of least privilege. IAM

permissions

Note: The scope of IAM service configurations is global. Settings apply across all AWS Regions.

IAM policies

• An IAM policy is a document that defines permissions

• Enables fine-grained access control
• Two types of policies – identity-based and resource-based IAM entities
• Identity-based policies –
• Attach a policy to any IAM entity Attach to
IAM user
• An IAM user, an IAM group, or an IAM role one of
• Policies specify:
• Actions that may be performed by the entity
IAM policy IAM group
• Actions that may not be performed by the entity
• A single policy can be attached to multiple entities
• A single entity can have multiple policies attached to it IAM role

• Resource-based policies
• Attached to a resource (such as an S3 bucket)
© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. 22
 IAM policy example
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
Explicit allow gives users access to a specific
"Statement":[{
DynamoDB table and…
"Effect":"Allow",
"Action":["DynamoDB:*","s3:*"],
"Resource":[
"arn:aws:dynamodb:region:account-number-without-hyphens:table/table-name",
"arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name", …Amazon S3 buckets.
"arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name/*"]
}, Explicit deny ensures that the users cannot use any other AWS actions
{ or resources other than that table and those buckets.
"Effect":"Deny",
"Action":["dynamodb:*","s3:*"],
"NotResource":["arn:aws:dynamodb:region:account-number-without-hyphens:table/table-name”,
"arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name",
"arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name/*"]
} An explicit deny statement takes precedence
] over an allow statement.

Resource-based policies

• Identity-based policies are attached to a

user, group, or role
• Resource-based policies are attached to AWS Account
a resource (not to a user, group or role) IAM user S3 bucket
• Characteristics of resource-based MaryMajor photos
policies – attached Defined inline
• Specifies who has access to the resource on the bucket
and what actions they can perform on it
• The policies are inline only, not managed
Identity-based Resource-based
• Resource-based policies are supported policy policy
only by some AWS services Policy grants list, Policy grants user

IAM groups

• An IAM group is a collection of IAM users AWS account

• A group is used to grant the same
permissions to multiple users IAM group: IAM group: IAM group:
• Permissions granted by attaching IAM policy or Admins Developers Testers
policies to the group
Carlos Salazar Li Juan Zhang Wei
• A user can belong to multiple groups
Márcia Oliveira Mary Major John Stiles
• There is no default group
Richard Roe Li Juan
• Groups cannot be nested

IAM roles

• An IAM role is an IAM identity with specific permissions

• Similar to an IAM user
• Attach permissions policies to it
IAM role
• Different from an IAM user
• Not uniquely associated with one person
• Intended to be assumable by a person, application, or service
• Role provides temporary security credentials
• Examples of how IAM roles are used to delegate access –
• Used by an IAM user in the same AWS account as the role
• Used by an AWS service—such as Amazon EC2—in the same account as the role
• Used by an IAM user in a different AWS account than the role

Example use of an IAM role

Scenario: AWS Cloud

• An application that runs on an EC2 instance Application has
needs access to an S3 bucket permissions to
Amazon EC2 instance access the S3
bucket
Solution: Application

 • IAM policies are constructed with JavaScript
Section 2 key Object Notation (JSON) and define
permissions.
takeaways • IAM policies can be attached to any IAM entity.
• Entities are IAM users, IAM groups, and IAM roles.
• An IAM user provides a way for a person,
application, or service to authenticate to AWS.
• An IAM group is a simple way to attach the
same policies to multiple users.
• An IAM role can have permissions policies
attached to it, and can be used to delegate
temporary access to users or applications.

Section 3: Securing a new AWS account

© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved.
AWS account root user access versus IAM
access
Account IAM • Best practice: Do not use the AWS
root user account root user except when
necessary.
• Access to the account root user requires
logging in with the email address (and
password) that you used to create the
account.
• Example actions that can only be done
with the account root user:
• Update the account root user password
• Change the AWS Support plan
• Restore an IAM user's permissions
• Change account settings (for example,
contact information, allowed Regions)

© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. 32
Securing a new AWS account: Account root user

Step 1: Stop using the account root user as soon as possible.

• The account root user has unrestricted access to all your resources.

• To stop using the account root user:

1. While you are logged in as the account root user, create an IAM user for yourself.
Save the access keys if needed.
2. Create an IAM group, give it full administrator permissions, and add the IAM user
to the group.
3. Disable and remove your account root user access keys, if they exist.
4. Enable a password policy for users.
5. Sign in with your new IAM user credentials.
6. Store your account root user credentials in a secure place.
© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. 33
Securing a new AWS account: MFA

Step 2: Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA).

• Require MFA for your account root user and for all IAM users.
• You can also use MFA to control access to AWS service APIs.

• Options for retrieving the MFA token –

• Virtual MFA-compliant applications:
• Google Authenticator.
• Authy Authenticator (Windows phone app).
• U2F security key devices:
MFA token
• For example, YubiKey.
• Hardware MFA options:
• Key fob or display card offered by Gemalto.
© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. 34
Securing a new AWS account: AWS CloudTrail

Step 3: Use AWS CloudTrail.

• CloudTrail tracks user activity on your account.
• Logs all API requests to resources in all supported services your account.
• Basic AWS CloudTrail event history is enabled by default and is free.
• It contains all management event data on latest 90 days of account activity.
• To access CloudTrail –
1. Log in to the AWS Management Console and choose the CloudTrail service.
2. Click Event history to view, filter, and search the last 90 days of events.
• To enable logs beyond 90 days and enable specified event alerting, create a trail.
1. From the CloudTrail Console trails page, click Create trail.
2. Give it a name, apply it to all Regions, and create a new Amazon S3 bucket for log storage.
3. Configure access restrictions on the S3 bucket (for example, only admin users should have access).

© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. 35
 Securing a new AWS account: Billing reports

Step 4: Enable a billing report, such as the AWS Cost and Usage Report.
• Billing reports provide information about your use of AWS resources and estimated
costs for that use.

• AWS delivers the reports to an Amazon S3 bucket that you specify.

• Report is updated at least once per day.

• The AWS Cost and Usage Report tracks your AWS usage and provides estimated charges
associated with your AWS account, either by the hour or by the day.

 Best practices to secure an AWS account:
Section 3 key • Secure logins with multi-factor authentication
takeaways (MFA).
• Delete account root user access keys.
• Create individual IAM users and grant
permissions according to the principle of least
privilege.
• Use groups to assign permissions to IAM users.
• Configure a strong password policy.
• Delegate using roles instead of sharing
credentials.
• Monitor account activity by using AWS
CloudTrail.

AWS Organizations

• AWS Organizations enables you to consolidate multiple AWS accounts so

that you centrally manage them.
AWS Organizations

• Security features of AWS Organizations:

• Group AWS accounts into organizational units (OUs) and attach different access
policies to each OU.

• Integration and support for IAM

• Permissions to a user are the intersection of what is allowed by AWS Organizations and
what is granted by IAM in that account.

• Use service control policies to establish control over the AWS services and API
actions that each AWS account can access

© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. 58
AWS Organizations: Service control policies

• Service control policies (SCPs) offer centralized control over accounts.

• Limit permissions that are available in an account that is part of an organization.

• Ensures that accounts comply with access control guidelines.

• SCPs are similar to IAM permissions policies –

• They use similar syntax.
• However, an SCP never grants permissions.
• Instead, SCPs specify the maximum permissions for an organization.

Section 5: Securing data on AWS

© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved.
Encryption of data at rest

• Encryption encodes data with a secret key, which makes it

unreadable
• Only those who have the secret key can decode the data
• AWS KMS can manage your secret keys

• AWS supports encryption of data at rest

• Data at rest = Data stored physically (on disk or on tape)
• You can encrypt data stored in any service that is supported by AWS KMS,
including:
• Amazon S3
• Amazon EBS
• Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)
• Amazon RDS managed databases
© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. 64
Encryption of data in transit

• Encryption of data in transit (data moving across a network)

• Transport Layer Security (TLS)—formerly SSL—is an open standard protocol
• AWS Certificate Manager provides a way to manage, deploy, and renew TLS or SSL
certificates
• Secure HTTP (HTTPS) creates a secure tunnel
• Uses TLS or SSL for the bidirectional exchange of data
• AWS services support data in transit encryption.
• Two examples:
AWS Cloud Corporate data center AWS Cloud

TLS encrypted
data traffic TLS or SSL

Securing Amazon S3 buckets and objects

• Newly created S3 buckets and objects are private and protected by default.
• When use cases require sharing data objects on Amazon S3 –
• It is essential to manage and control the data access.
• Follow the permissions that follow the principle of least privilege and consider using
Amazon S3 encryption.
• Tools and options for controlling access to S3 data include –
• Amazon S3 Block Public Access feature: Simple to use.
• IAM policies: A good option when the user can authenticate using IAM.
• Bucket policies
• Access control lists (ACLs): A legacy access control mechanism.
• AWS Trusted Advisor bucket permission check: A free feature.
