AWS Marketplace
AWS Marketplace sellers offering Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions often face challenges in providing seamless access to their products for buyers. This guide will explore three primary access options for sellers to consider when designing and building access mechanisms for their SaaS solutions listed on AWS Marketplace.
Access Option 1: AWS Single Sign-On (SSO)
One effective approach is leveraging AWS Single Sign-On (SSO), which allows users to access their SaaS applications using a single set of credentials. This option simplifies the user experience and enhances security by reducing password-related vulnerabilities. Implementing AWS SSO can streamline user management, as administrators can manage access at scale using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles and policies.
Access Option 2: API Gateway and Lambda Authorizers
Another common method involves using API Gateway and Lambda authorizers. This combination allows sellers to create APIs that serve as secure entry points to their SaaS applications. Lambda authorizers can validate tokens or credentials, ensuring that only authorized users gain access. This option provides fine-grained access control and can be customized to fit specific business requirements.
Access Option 3: Amazon Cognito
Amazon Cognito offers a robust option for user authentication. It supports user sign-up, sign-in, and access control, making it ideal for SaaS applications that need to manage a large number of users. With Cognito, sellers can integrate with social identity providers, such as Google or Facebook, to provide a seamless user experience. Additionally, Cognito supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) for enhanced security.
Implementing Best Practices
When choosing the right access option, it is crucial for sellers to consider scalability, security, and user experience. Leveraging AWS best practices ensures that the chosen solution not only meets current needs but is also future-proof. Thorough testing and integration with existing AWS services can enhance the overall effectiveness of the access mechanism.
How KeyCore Can Assist
KeyCore provides expert guidance and implementation services for AWS Marketplace sellers. With deep expertise in AWS technologies, KeyCore can help design, develop, and optimize SaaS access mechanisms tailored to specific business needs.

The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog
With an anticipated increase in connected cars, expected to exceed 470 million by the end of 2025, the need to protect sensitive vehicle data has become more critical than ever. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs), which serve as unique identifiers in various automotive processes like manufacturing and maintenance, are particularly vulnerable to cyber threats. This necessitates robust security measures to safeguard such data.
Understanding the Threats
VINs are not just random sequences; they hold significant importance in the automotive industry. From tracking manufacturing processes to ensuring proper maintenance schedules, they play a crucial role. However, cybercriminals view VINs as valuable targets due to their role as unique identifiers, which can be exploited for unauthorized vehicle access or fraudulent activities.
Implementing Virtual IDs
To address these vulnerabilities, automakers can leverage AWS IoT to enhance the security of VINs by implementing Virtual IDs. These Virtual IDs act as proxies to the real VINs, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected from unauthorized access. By using AWS IoT’s robust security features, automakers can encrypt and securely transmit data, making it difficult for attackers to intercept or manipulate the vehicle information.
The Role of AWS IoT
AWS IoT provides a comprehensive set of tools and services that facilitate secure data management for connected vehicles. Automakers can utilize AWS IoT to monitor and control data access, apply encryption, and establish secure communication channels. This not only safeguards the VINs but also enhances the overall data integrity and privacy of connected vehicle ecosystems.
How KeyCore Can Assist
