Speaker: Alex Bovee CEO, Co-founder ConductorOne

AWS is a perfect example of the challenges that come with managing identity in any modern application. In this session, learn how to streamline AWS access management using ConductorOne to eliminate group sprawl, reduce complexity, and enable efficient, policy-based access control. The patterns and solutions you’ll see for AWS can be applied to other modern SaaS and cloud applications facing similar identity and authorization challenges.

Main Takeaways

  • ✅

    AWS illustrates common identity challenges found across modern applications, including complex authorization models and decentralized account management.

  • ✅

    Traditional AWS access management via SCIM and SSO leads to group sprawl, manual overhead, and unclear access ownership.

  • ✅

    Managing access across multiple AWS accounts and roles often requires duplicating hundreds of SSO groups, making scaling difficult.

  • ✅

    ConductorOne integrates directly with AWS and your SSO provider to orchestrate access at the identity level.

  • ✅

    Access is granted using just-in-time permission set assignments, eliminating the need for static group mappings.

  • ✅

    Infrastructure and security teams can define fine-grained access policies and delegate management through self-service workflows.

  • ✅

    These same principles can simplify and secure identity management for other modern applications beyond AWS.
