AWS Backup adds new Multi-party approval for logically air-gapped vaults
- AWS Backup introduces Multi-party approval for logically air-gapped vaults, enabling access to backups during AWS account inaccessibility.
- The integration combines AWS Backup's features for data protection and ransomware recovery.
- Backup administrators can securely share backups, isolate storage, and support direct restore.
- Multi-party approval allows creation of approval teams to authorize vault sharing requests in case of account compromise.
- A step-by-step process involves approval team creation, vault association, request for access, multi-party approval, and recovery.
- This approach provides a separate authentication path independent of AWS account credentials.
- Testing the recovery process is essential to ensure proper functionality.
- AWS Backup Audit Manager can be used to monitor the health of approval teams.
- Multi-party approval enhances cloud governance by enabling distributed review processes.
- Security advantages include distributed decision-making, auditability, protection against compromised credentials, and formal governance.
- The capability is now available in all AWS Regions supporting AWS Organizations and AWS Backup.
