As people start coming back to the office after working from home exclusively for two years, a hybrid work model will pose a series of challenges for security teams. One of these challenges involves reminding and reeducating workers about security best practices after two years of working remotely and using decentralized services.

I recently had the pleasure of appearing on the Davood for Thought podcast. The host, Davood Ghods, is Vice President of Government Solutions at Direct Technology, so it was both enlightening and enjoyable to share insights with him.

SecOps is a short form for Security Operations, a methodology that aims to automate crucial security tasks, with the goal of developing more secure applications. The purpose of SecOps is to minimize security risks during the development process and daily activities. Under a joint SecOps strategy, the security and operations teams work together to maintain a safe environment by identifying and resolving vulnerabilities and resolving any security issues.

This blog is part of a series on how to provide identity-based access to AWS resources. In the first tutorial, we saw how to set up an identity-aware AWS bastion host using the OSS solution, Teleport. In this blog, we will expand the scenario to use a single-sign-on (SSO) authentication mechanism to issue certificates to specific groups of users to access AWS resources.
