We announced cloud account security enhancements to the Instruqt platform a few months ago and recommend conducting a quick security checkup for your cloud account settings before the end of the year.

Cloud accounts - Service and region restrictions 

• Administrators can now specify which Cloud Provider services and regions are available for use within a sandbox environment.
• This feature enhances security by limiting access to only the selected options, with other services and regions automatically disabled through stringent policies.
• Learn how to configure the settings in our documentation.

Separate cloud credentials for lab and end-users

• We have introduced an option to add admin credentials for cloud accounts alongside existing end-user facing credentials.
• These admin credentials facilitate the initial provisioning of resources in cloud accounts and are securely injected into the lifecycle scripts, ensuring they remain inaccessible to end-users.
• Learn more in our documentation.

In addition to these visible enhancements, we implemented numerous non-visible checks and controls to bolster the security of our platform. At Instruqt, the safety and security of our platform are paramount. We remain dedicated to continually investing in security measures to protect our users and their data. Explore these new features today and experience a more secure and controlled environment with Instruqt.
