12 Azure & AWS IAM Security Best Practices
Just like National Security Agency (NSA) doesn’t give out Gold Codes to anyone who asks, you shouldn’t grant access to your valuable resources without proper verification.

Explore our blog for all 12 best practices to keep your apps secure.
What’s next for 2022?
Cybersecurity continues to evolve, and it seems like every day there’s a new product, terminology, or tool popping up. Rest assured, having a strong grasp on the basics of cloud security is always critical. Here are some best practices to take into 2022:
- Leverage validated resources like AWS and Azure Well-Architected frameworks as well as common compliance guidelines like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and the CIS Controls
- Automate as much as possible. Human error is the #1 cause of cloud misconfigurations (which are the #1 cause of data breaches). Use automation to streamline compliance and configuration checks as well as scanning for open source code flaws and malware in files and images
- Minimize the use of point-products to increase visibility. This helps security teams gatekeep your CI/CD pipelines so you can build quickly and securely. A platform with broad third-party integrations (no rip and replace) is a great way to enhance visibility and consolidate all those automated scans and checks we mentioned
