Zero Trust with StrongDM on AWS

Zero Trust shifts access control away from network location and toward strong identity verification and fine-grained authorization. Applying this model in cloud environments can be complex, especially when managing access across multiple services and systems.

A hands-on workshop demonstrates how to implement Zero Trust access patterns using a privileged access management platform within AWS environments. It covers applying identity-based controls to managed database services, enabling just-in-time access workflows, and securing SSH resource access. Participants will gain practical experience configuring identity-aware access, reducing unnecessary exposure, and improving control over cloud infrastructure while maintaining flexibility for teams operating across distributed systems.
