Dynamic security and compliance controls to manage access and data.

AWS has enabled the modern workforce to be cloud-based and remotely distributed, making them a prime target of today’s cyber attacks. Threat actors have shifted their attention from the old network perimeter to people and the data, systems and resources they access. In this evolving environment, securing access to AWS resources, preventing data loss and staying compliant is critical.
