Product Description: AWS Verified Access is a service that enables organizations to provide secure access to their corporate applications and resources without the need for a traditional VPN. By implementing fine-grained access policies based on user identity and device security status, Verified Access ensures that only authorized users and compliant devices can access specific applications. This approach enhances security by continuously evaluating each access request in real time, aligning with Zero Trust principles. Administrators can efficiently manage and monitor access policies from a centralized interface, simplifying security operations and improving overall observability. Key Features and Functionality: - Granular Access Policies: Define detailed access controls based on user identity and device security posture, ensuring that only authorized users and compliant devices can access specific applications. - VPN-less Access: Provide secure access to corporate applications without requiring a VPN, streamlining the user experience and reducing dependency on traditional remote access solutions. - Integration with Identity and Device Management Services: Seamlessly integrate with AWS IAM Identity Center and third-party identity providers, as well as device management services, to assess user and device trustworthiness. - Centralized Policy Management: Group applications with similar security requirements and manage access policies from a single interface, simplifying policy administration. - Comprehensive Logging and Monitoring: Log all access attempts to provide visibility into application access, aiding in quick identification and resolution of security incidents. Primary Value and Problem Solved: AWS Verified Access addresses the challenges associated with providing secure remote access to corporate applications. By eliminating the need for VPNs and implementing real-time, context-aware access controls, it enhances security posture and simplifies the user experience. Organizations can enforce Zero Trust principles, ensuring that access is granted only when specific security requirements are met, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized access and lateral movement within the network. The centralized management of access policies and comprehensive logging capabilities further streamline security operations and facilitate rapid response to potential threats.
