Announcing: Data-Centric Security for AWS S3
NextLabs has announced the availability of Data-Centric Security for AWS S3, extending Zero Trust data security and centralized, fine-grained authorization to one of the most widely used cloud storage platforms.
AWS S3 has become foundational to modern enterprise environments, supporting business applications, analytics, AI services, and data lakes. As organizations move increasingly sensitive information into S3, traditional permissions and static access controls are often insufficient to determine exactly who or what should be able to access specific data under specific conditions.
NextLabs Data-Centric Security for AWS S3 enables organizations to secure both application and user access using centralized Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) policies. The solution provides dynamic, policy-driven authorization and real-time data access governance based on attributes such as user identity, application, data sensitivity, business purpose, and contextual conditions.
Key capabilities include:
- Fine-grained attribute-based authorization for AWS S3
- Centralized Zero Trust policy enforcement
- Dynamic data masking to protect sensitive information
- Policy-based control of application and user access
- Real-time authorization based on identity, data, and context
- Consistent security policies across cloud and hybrid environments
The new solution expands NextLabs’ data-centric security portfolio into cloud object storage and creates new opportunities for partners to help customers secure data used by applications, analytics platforms, AI systems, and data lakes.
Expanding the NextLabs Certified Professional Community
NextLabs continues to expand the NextLabs Certified Professional program to meet growing demand for expertise in Zero Trust Data-Centric Security.
The program, first launched in 2025, is designed to validate expertise in deploying, managing, and optimizing NextLabs solutions. It is on track to surpass 1,000 trained and certified professionals within 12 months, with a long-term goal of building a global community of certified professionals.
For partners, the certification program provides an important opportunity to build technical expertise, improve implementation consistency, and strengthen customer success. Certified professionals gain hands-on knowledge in policy design, Zero Trust enforcement, and data protection strategies aligned with real-world enterprise requirements.
With more than 100 solution and channel partners in the NextLabs ecosystem, expanding the pool of certified professionals will help partners scale their NextLabs practices and respond to increasing demand for data-centric security expertise.
Protecting AI and Autonomous Enterprise Data with Zero Trust
The rapid adoption of AI is creating a new generation of data access and authorization challenges for enterprises. AI applications and autonomous agents increasingly need to read, write, and act on sensitive enterprise information, while traditional role-based access controls were not designed for these non-human actors operating at scale.
NextLabs is helping address this challenge through a Zero Trust, attribute-based approach that treats AI agents as governed identities and evaluates every access request based on identity, business purpose, data sensitivity, and context.
This approach provides an important opportunity for partners to help customers address the security implications of AI adoption while maintaining the productivity and automation benefits of AI.
NextLabs continues to develop thought leadership and educational content around securing AI-enabled enterprise environments, including how Zero Trust authorization can help organizations control access to sensitive enterprise data.
Secure Together on the Road – Upcoming Events in the U.S. and Europe
NextLabs continues to bring together SAP security professionals, IT leaders, customers, and partners through the Secure Together on the Road event series. The events provide an opportunity to share practical strategies for protecting SAP environments, discuss emerging cybersecurity challenges, and explore how Zero Trust and data-centric security can support secure digital transformation.

NextLabs Continues Collaboration with NIST NCCoE DevSecOps Project
NextLabs continues its collaboration with the NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) on the Software Supply Chain and DevSecOps Security Practices project.
The NCCoE is preparing an update to the project that will include its second example implementation, expanding the practical guidance and demonstrating additional approaches for implementing secure software development and DevSecOps practices.
NextLabs has been a major contributor to the second example implementation, providing technology, expertise, and hands-on support to help demonstrate how security controls can be integrated into a modern software development environment.
The upcoming update represents another important milestone in the collaboration and highlights NextLabs’ commitment to advancing practical, standards-based approaches to Zero Trust and secure software development.
The NCCoE project is designed to provide organizations with reproducible example solutions that demonstrate how commercially available technologies can be integrated to address real-world cybersecurity challenges.
For NextLabs partners, the project provides valuable third-party validation of the company’s technology and expertise while creating additional resources that can be used to help customers understand and implement secure DevSecOps practices.
Connect with NextLabs Through Our Educational Programs
In addition to these major industry events, NextLabs continues to provide opportunities for partners and customers to engage through Solution Café, webinars, and the quarterly Solution Roundtable.
We encourage our partners to participate in these events, invite customers and prospects, and take advantage of opportunities to collaborate with the NextLabs team throughout the remainder of 2026.
