AWS has launched a capability allowing AWS Organizations members to manage root-user access centrally, improving security and governance. Administrators are provided with a consolidated view of root-user access across accounts, enabling enforcement of best practices, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA). Service Control Policies (SCPs) can be applied to restrict root-level actions and prevent unauthorized access. This capability not only helps mitigate risks from misconfigurations but also allows for monitoring and auditing of root account activities across accounts, aligning with security compliance measures and emphasizing limited use of root access.
AWS Organizations now allows administrators to manage root-user access centrally, enhancing security and governance across multiple AWS accounts.
By providing insights on multi-factor authentication (MFA) and allowing for the enforcement of Service Control Policies (SCPs), AWS improves compliance and security management.
The update facilitates monitoring and auditing of root account activity across all accounts, helping detect unauthorized access while enforcing organizational security policies.
AWS emphasizes minimizing root access, advocating for least-privileged access to maintain a secure cloud environment.
