Secure access to the AWS management console

  1. Set up a strong password policy: Create a complex password policy that requires users to use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.

  2. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Require users to use an additional form of authentication, such as a one-time code sent via email or SMS, when logging into the AWS management console.

  3. Use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM): Create IAM user accounts and policies that limit each user’s access to only the services they need.

  4. Create security groups: Create security groups that control access to the AWS management console based on IP address or geographic location.

  5. Use CloudTrail: Monitor user activity in the AWS management console with CloudTrail, so you can detect suspicious activity and take appropriate action.
