OpenSearchCon Europe 2025

In this session, we will explore how to secure OpenSearch using dynamic authentication methods like SAS and STS tokens to provide temporary, granular access controls. These tokens enhance security by limiting access to specific resources, actions, or timeframes, helping ensure compliance with standards like GDPR and HIPAA.
We’ll demonstrate how to integrate STS tokens for user authentication, allowing fine-grained access control through OpenSearch’s Security Plugin. By mapping roles and validating tokens, this approach improves security, flexibility, and compliance in your OpenSearch deployment.
By the end of the session, you’ll have the knowledge to integrate dynamic credentials into OpenSearch, offering secure, time-limited access while ensuring compliance with industry standards.
