Instructions For the lesson's assignment, you will review the identity defenses for identity and remote access risks in Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. This will be a minimum of eight pages that contain the specific cloud native services for the three cloud services, along with a description of their capabilities. You will include why these services were chosen and what risks the services will address. You will want to include the following items:
Perform an evaluation of the native identity defenses you propose to use for each cloud service provider (AWS, GCP, Azure) How will you incorporate MFA, SSO, and Zero Trust into your design A discussion about the use-cases these native identity defenses will solve Gaps in native identity defense tools Potential non-native tools to defend against attacks on identity and access management. Discuss impersonation attacks and how they work. Produce a recommendation of identity defenses that will enhance protection and foster resilience. Length: 9-pages, not including title page and references
References: Include a minimum of five scholarly resources presented in the Course Resources. Identify two additional quality scholarly resources that were not introduced in your required readings yet, which will enhance understanding when addressing organizational challenges. Your additional resources should be credible and relevant to addressing identified organizational challenges. Be sure to synthesize your resources and use APA standards.
