RECORDED - AWS IAM Least Privilege Policy Masterclass - September 2024

THIS SESSION HAS ALREADY HAPPENED

You can still access the recording and slides, but the live session has already finished.

As author of The Practical AWS IAM Guide book I've spoken to a lot of people and teams about their challenges with AWS IAM, and implementing least privilege policies is a constant theme that I've heard. As a complement to the book, I wanted to make it easier for professionals using AWS to "do the right thing" when it comes to right-sizing their policies, and being secure at scale. This live workshop focuses on updated methods for writing secure policies, and gives attendees the chance to ask their own questions for easier and faster learning.

Who is this masterclass for?

This masterclass is aimed at engineers and developers using AWS on a regular basis, who need to write IAM policies for security and compliance.

What you’ll get from this masterclass

In this 90-minute session, you'll learn how to:

• Approach policy writing for AWS IAM
• The differences between generating and crafting your policies
• Generate policies from historical activity
• Craft sensible and secure policies that don’t slow your developers down
• Build a framework to review existing policies

And at the end, there will be a Q&A session for your own IAM questions.

Spots are limited for this workshop, so that I can provide maximum value and ensure participants get a chance to ask their own questions.

Testimonials for the Masterclass

This is the updated and improved version of my earlier Least Privilege Masterclass.
Here's what people had to say about the first version!

This Least Privilege Policy Masterclass is the real deal for beginners and veterans alike. As someone who's dived deep into AWS's security quirks and oddities, I can tell you Rowan is not just rehashing docs; he's giving you insights into how to craft secure policies without suffocating your devs and level up your cloud security game. - Daniel Grzelack, Super serious internet guy

Rowan is a master of his craft. This course will give you everything you need to start your journey to learn and practice the "least privileged access" on AWS. Rowan will guide you through the philosophy, concept, ecosystem, and tooling. By the end of the course, you will be confident to "slice and dice" your policies ASAP! - Eduardo Rabelo, Senior Cloud Consultant, Serverless Guru

I attended this workshop to hear practical experiences about least-privilege in AWS, both from the presenter and the audience. Rowan mentioned clear advice, tools and methods that we can use in our day-to-day. It was a useful webinar with concrete takeaways. After attending, I was able to foster several internal discussions about our continuous journey to being more secure. Definitely recommend. - Laurence Tan, Staff Platform Engineer, SEEK

Rowan's live IAM least privilege masterclass was a great online learning experience. It was a good refresher after reading his book, and made me more confident with AWS IAM. - Subramanian Olagappan
