Security best practices

AWS End User Messaging SMS provides 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.

  • Create an individual user for each person who manages AWS End User Messaging SMS resources, including yourself. Don't use AWS root credentials to manage AWS End User Messaging SMS resources.

  • Grant each user the minimum set of permissions required to perform his or her duties.

  • Use IAM groups to effectively manage permissions for multiple users.

  • Rotate your IAM credentials regularly.
