    • To onboard AWS in inline mode, you must choose both App Authentication and App Access.
    • To onboard AWS in API mode, choose API Access.
    • If you choose Dynamic DRM, you must also choose API Access.
    • Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) provides tools to monitor resources used in your organization and assess security risk factors against security best practices for AWS cloud applications. To enable use of CSPM, you must choose Cloud Security Posture as a protection model.
  7. If you selected API Access:
    1. Click the AWS Monitoring toggle and enter the following information in the API section of the Configuration page.
      This is the information you had generated in Step 2 of the configuration steps (Create an Identity Access Management (IAM) role for Secure Cloud Access).
      • External ID
      • Role ARN
      • SQS Queue Name and SQS Region (see Step 6 - Create Simple Queue Service [SQS])
    2. In the Authentication section, click the Authorize button and click Next.

      A popup message appears prompting you to confirm that the required policies (according to the selected protection models) are assigned to the role.

      Be sure your browser is configured to allow pop-ups to be displayed.

    3. Click Continue to confirm that the required policies are displayed.

      When the authorization is complete, a green checkmark appears next to the Authorize button, and the button label now reads Re-Authorize.
