Decentralization of work and infrastructure in hybrid environments is leading to identity and access management challenges due to lack of centralized visibility and governance. In this blog, let’s learn how customers can solve these challenges and enhance their identity governance and security with Cisco Duo Identity Federation and advanced access management features. Cisco Duo seamlessly integrates with AWS IAM Identity Center and other identity sources and acts as an identity aggregator that efficiently routes user authentication to appropriate sources. This integrated solution delivers both improved security with end-to-end phishing resistance and AI-driven identity intelligence, and a simplified user experience through passwordless authentication.

Federation using SAML 2.0 enables customers to use their existing external IdP and avoid managing multiple sources of identities when accessing AWS accounts. This post builds on the recommendation of using regional SAML endpoints for failover by showing how you can configure Okta‘s federation with IAM to increase its availability. Learn how to configure Okta, an AWS Security Competency Partner, to utilize multiple regional AWS SAML sign-in endpoints that can be deployed at setup by the Okta admin.

With AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), AWS provides a central way to manage user identities and permissions. However, creating and managing the lifecycle of IAM users in AWS can be time-consuming. This post explores how to authenticate users against Azure AD for access to one or multiple AWS accounts using SAML federation. Additionally, it includes a walkthrough on how to setup the federation across Azure AD and multiple AWS accounts.

As organizations continue to build data lakes on AWS and adopt Amazon EMR, especially when consuming data at enterprise scale, it’s critical to govern your data lakes by establishing federated access and having fine-grained controls to access your data. Learn how to implement SAML-based authentication (AuthN) using Okta for Amazon EMR, querying data using Zeppelin notebooks, and applying column-level authorization (AuthZ) using AWS Lake Formation.

AWS Single Sign-On makes it easy for end users to sign into the AWS Console and access applications with a single set of credentials. Until now, customers had to sign in to the AWS Console to work with AWS resources, and they had to sign in separately to CloudHealth to analyze and manage their computing environment or the resources in their environment. Learn how to connect CloudHealth with AWS SSO using SAML 2.0, so your users have a single experience to access both the AWS Console and CloudHealth.

End users can now configure AWS Single Sign-On (AWS SSO) to access Dynatrace with a single sign-on experience using the same credentials they use with their Amazon Web Services (AWS) account. AWS Single Sign-On provides administrators a simple way to assign users and groups access to AWS accounts, roles, and SAML-based applications. This eliminates the need for users to log in to Dynatrace separately.
