Identity and Access Management (IAM) in AWS8:29
In this lecture, we will learn Identity and Access Management (IAM) basically.

What is IAM?
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service that helps you securely control access to AWS resources. With IAM, you can manage permissions that control which AWS resources users can access. You use IAM to control who is authenticated (signed in) and authorized (has permissions) to use resources. IAM provides the infrastructure necessary to control authentication and authorization for your AWS accounts.
Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) in AWS IAM9:02
In this lecture, we will learn Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM).

How does AWS IAM work?
AWS IAM allows administrators to securely manage users, groups, and permissions for AWS services. It uses roles, policies, and permissions to control access at a granular level.
Identity as a Service (IDaaS) in Identity and Access Management11:50
In this lecture, we will learn Identity as a Service (IDaaS).

When do I use IAM?
AWS Identity and Access Management is a core infrastructure service that provides the foundation for access control based on identities within AWS. You use IAM every time you access your AWS account. The way you use IAM will depend on the specific responsibilities and job functions within your organization. Service users leverage IAM to access the AWS resources required for their day-to-day work, with administrators granting the appropriate permissions. IAM administrators, on the other hand, are responsible for managing IAM identities and writing policies to control access to resources. Regardless of your role, you will interact with IAM whenever you need to authenticate and authorize access to AWS resources. This could involve signing in as an IAM user, assuming an IAM role, or leveraging identity federation for seamless access. Understanding the various IAM capabilities and use cases is crucial for effectively managing secure access to your AWS environment. When it comes to creating policies and permissions, IAM provides a flexible and granular approach. You can define trust policies to control which principals can assume a role, as well as identity-based policies that specify the actions and resources a user or role is allowed to access. By properly configuring these IAM policies, you can ensure that users and applications have the appropriate level of permissions to perform their required tasks.
Privileged Access Management (PAM) in Aws23:50
In this lecture, we will learn Privileged Access Management (PAM).

How do I manage IAM?
Managing AWS Identity and Access Management within an AWS environment involves leveraging a variety of tools and interfaces. The most common method is through the AWS Management Console, a web-based interface that allows you to perform a wide range of IAM administrative tasks, from creating users and roles to configuring permissions.
Segregation of Duties (SoD) in AWS5:03
In this lecture, we will learn Segregation of Duties (SoD).

How does IAM work and what can I do with it?
IAM provides authentication and authorization for AWS services. A service evaluates if an AWS request is allowed or denied. Access is denied by default and is allowed only when a policy explicitly grants access.
Principle of Least Privilege (POLP) in AWS IAM8:58
In this lecture, we will learn Principle of Least Privilege (POLP)

What are least-privilege permissions?
When you set permissions with IAM policies, grant only the permissions required to perform a task. This practice is known as granting least privilege. You can apply least-privilege permissions in IAM by defining the actions that can be taken on specific resources under specific conditions
Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) in IAM18:07
In this lecture, we will learn Identity Governance and Administration (IGA).

What is the IAM in AWS?
AWS Identity and Access Management
With AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), you can specify who or what can access services and resources in AWS, centrally manage fine-grained permissions, and analyze access to refine permissions across AWS.
Quiz

What is Identification in AWS ?6:12
In this lecture, we will learn What Identification is.

Why should I use IAM?
AWS Identity and Access Management is a powerful tool for securely managing access to your AWS resources. One of the primary benefits of using IAM is the ability to grant shared access to your AWS account. Additionally, IAM allows you to assign granular permissions, enabling you to control exactly what actions different users can perform on specific resources. This level of access control is crucial for maintaining the security of your AWS environment. IAM also provides several other security features. You can add multi-factor authentication (MFA) for an extra layer of protection, and leverage identity federation to seamlessly integrate users from your corporate network or other identity providers. IAM also integrates with AWS CloudTrail, providing detailed logging and identity information to support auditing and compliance requirements. By taking advantage of these capabilities, you can help ensure that access to your critical AWS resources is tightly controlled and secure.
What is Authentication in AWS IAM?8:26
In this lecture, we will learn What Authentication is.

When do I use IAM?
AWS Identity and Access Management is a core infrastructure service that provides the foundation for access control based on identities within AWS. You use IAM every time you access your AWS account.

By properly configuring these IAM policies, you can ensure that users and applications have the appropriate level of permissions to perform their required tasks.
How does Authentication work in Identity and Access Management?4:25
In this lecture, we will learn How Authentication works.

How permissions and policies provide access management?
The access management portion of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) helps you define what a principal entity is allowed to do in an account. A principal entity is a person or application that is authenticated using an IAM entity (IAM user or IAM role). Access management is often referred to as authorization. You manage access in AWS by creating policies and attaching them to IAM identities (IAM users, IAM groups, or IAM roles) or AWS resources. A policy is an object in AWS that, when associated with an identity or resource, defines their permissions. AWS evaluates these policies when a principal uses an IAM entity (IAM user or IAM role) to make a request. Permissions in the policies determine whether the request is allowed or denied.
Types of Authentications and Authentication Factors in IAM11:05
In this lecture, we will learn Types of Authentications and Authentication Factors.

What is ABAC for AWS?
Attribute-based access control (ABAC) is an authorization strategy that defines permissions based on attributes. In AWS, these attributes are called tags. You can attach tags to IAM resources, including IAM entities (IAM users or IAM roles) and to AWS resources. You can create a single ABAC policy or small set of policies for your IAM principals. These ABAC policies can be designed to allow operations when the principal's tag matches the resource tag. ABAC is helpful in environments that are growing rapidly and helps with situations where policy management becomes cumbersome.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in AWS17:17
In this lecture, we will learn Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

What is IAM?
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service that helps you securely control access to AWS resources. With IAM, you can manage permissions that control which AWS resources users can access. You use IAM to control who is authenticated (signed in) and authorized (has permissions) to use resources. IAM provides the infrastructure necessary to control authentication and authorization for your AWS accounts.
Single Sign-On (SSO) in IAM17:30
In this lecture, we will learn Single Sign-On (SSO).

Why should I use IAM?
AWS Identity and Access Management is a powerful tool for securely managing access to your AWS resources. One of the primary benefits of using IAM is the ability to grant shared access to your AWS account. Additionally, IAM allows you to assign granular permissions, enabling you to control exactly what actions different users can perform on specific resources.
