Amazon SageMaker Lakehouse now supports attribute-based access control (ABAC), using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) principal and session tags to simplify data access, grant creation, and maintenance. With ABAC, you can manage permissions using dynamic business attributes associated with user identities. Previously, SageMaker Lakehouse granted access to lakehouse databases and tables by directly assigning permissions to specific principals such as IAM users and IAM roles, a process that could quickly become unwieldy as the number of users grew. ABAC now allows administrators to grant permissions on a resource with conditions that specify user attribute keys a…

Amazon Cognito announces support for OAuth 2.0 refresh token rotation for user pool clients. Refresh tokens are long-lived tokens that allow applications to obtain new access tokens without requiring users to sign in again. With refresh token rotation, you can now configure your user pool clients to automatically replace existing refresh tokens with new ones at regular intervals, which in turn can strengthen your application's security posture. Instead of previously relying on tokens that remain valid for long periods of time, refresh token rotation reduces the window a compromised refresh token could be used. In addition, refresh token rotates automatically in the backgr…
