Security Best Practices for SageMaker geospatial capabilities

Amazon SageMaker geospatial capabilities provide a number of security features to consider as you develop and implement your own security policies. The following best practices are general guidelines and don't represent a complete security solution. Because these best practices might not be appropriate or sufficient for your environment, treat them as helpful considerations rather than prescriptions.

Apply principle of least privilege

Amazon SageMaker geospatial capabilities provide granular access policy for applications using IAM roles. We recommend that the roles be granted only the minimum set of privileges required by the job. We also recommend auditing the jobs for permissions on a regular basis and upon any change to your application.

Role-based access control (RBAC) permissions

Administrators should strictly control Role-based access control (RBAC) permissions for Amazon SageMaker geospatial capabilities.

Use temporary credentials whenever possible

Where possible, use temporary credentials instead of long-term credentials, such as access keys. For scenarios in which you need IAM users with programmatic access and long-term credentials, we recommend that you rotate access keys. Regularly rotating long-term credentials helps you familiarize yourself with the process. This is useful in case you are ever in a situation where you must rotate credentials, such as when an employee leaves your company. We recommend that you use IAM access last used information to rotate and remove access keys safely. For more information, see Rotating access keys and Security best practices in IAM.

Use Amazon CloudTrail to view and log API calls

Amazon CloudTrail tracks anyone making API calls in your Amazon account. API calls are logged whenever anyone uses the Amazon SageMaker geospatial capabilities API, the Amazon SageMaker geospatial capabilities console or Amazon SageMaker geospatial capabilities Amazon CLI commands. Enable logging and specify an Amazon S3 bucket to store the logs.
