Secure Access Anywhere & Sovereign Cloud: AWS Innovations for 2025

Join the AWS User Group Belgium for an evening of cloud security, sovereignty, and networking.

📣 Talk 1 – Using IAM Roles Anywhere with Existing PKI
Speaker: Ben Brits
Secure authentication of both humans and machines is a challenge every organization faces—especially when your proof of identity isn’t already in AWS.
Ben will show how to integrate existing PKI—think Belgium’s eID or hardware keys—to access AWS with phishing-resistant authentication using IAM Roles Anywhere. By the end, you’ll see how to move beyond plain-text credentials and leverage trusted hardware instead.

📣 Talk 2 – AWS European Sovereign Cloud – A Game Changer for Cloud-Reluctant Companies
Speaker: Michel Radermecker
The launch of AWS’s European Sovereign Cloud marks a major milestone for organizations across Europe that have hesitated to embrace the cloud due to regulatory, compliance, or sovereignty concerns.
In this session, we’ll explore how this new AWS offering is designed to meet strict EU requirements while maintaining the innovation and scalability of the AWS platform. You’ll learn what sets the European Sovereign Cloud apart, which use cases it unlocks, and why it could be a turning point for cloud-reluctant companies.
