Yves Fauser: “Zero trust networking with AWS Verified Access”
How do we build "VPN clientless" access to applications that takes into account the identity of the user, their group membership, and the posture of their device? AWS Verified Access (AVA) is a service that allows us to build a strong "front door" to applications, integrating with a large ecosystem of identity and device management partners.
In this session, we will take a deep dive into how AVA works and walk through a demo with a detailed walkthrough of IdP flows.
