AWS just shipped AWS IAM Account Access Manager (AAM), a new way to grant AWS access through AWS IAM Identity Center using IAM roles. Apono is supporting AAM from day one, bringing just-in-time provisioning directly to the IAM roles your teams already trust. If you’re running AWS IAM Identity Center today, you’re likely provisioning access through permission sets.

The most experienced identity governance leaders don't need to experience the wrong platform before they understand what to look for. They recognize early that a mature identity governance and administration (IGA) program requires real customization, hybrid support that doesn't degrade over time and vendor investment in both on-premises and software as a service (SaaS), and they choose Identity Manager by One Identity from the start, renewing for the same reasons they first signed.

Login pages are one of the most attacked surfaces of any enterprise tool. They're often internet-facing, they're the front door to sensitive operational data, and unlike most vulnerabilities, they don't need to be discovered—they can simply be targeted with large volumes of automated attempts. For monitoring platforms like Applications Manager, which frequently sit with visibility into critical infrastructure, that front door matters even more.

A plain-language look at our new release and support policy — and what it means for you, no matter which product you run. For customers and partners, release and support practices have not always been easy to interpret. Different products used different terms for similar things — major and minor releases, patch releases, hotfixes — which made it hard to know which release to adopt, how long it would be supported, or whether a given update added functionality or only fixed something.

Identity security conversations often arrive at the same unfortunate scenario: a stolen token and breach only discovered once major damage is done. Experts Rob Kraczek, global strategist at One Identity, and Chris Ray, field CTO of security and risk at GigaOm, recently unpacked why 3 a.m. token theft has become less exception, more routine — among other things.

Here's a test you can run in about five minutes. Pull up a privileged account in your directory, one that was used in a session yesterday. Is the account still there? Does it still hold the same privileged group memberships it had yesterday? I'd bet good money the answer to both is yes. That's not a criticism of your PAM tool. It's what traditional credential rotation was built to do, and more importantly, what it was never designed to do.
