AWS Flash – Implementing SaaS Tenant Isolation with ABAC and AWS IAM

This course teaches you how to build secure and scalable multi-tenant SaaS solutions on AWS by leveraging Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to enforce robust tenant isolation and data segregation. You’ll master designing multi-tenant architectures, managing tenant identities, creating and applying ABAC policies, integrating with SaaS applications, and monitoring tenant access and activities for compliance.

• Course level: Advanced
• Duration: 45 minutes

Activities

On-demand, self service training, videos, and knowledge checks.
