SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Analyzes cloud identities to identify overprivileged access, contrasting granted permissions with actual usage to reveal exposure and risk.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Effective permission vs usage analysis: compares CloudTrail-derived usage to granted policies to highlight gaps.
  • Overprivilege detection: flags identities with more permissions than they need and surfaces risk.
  • Lateral movement assessment: maps potential attack paths through identities and cross-account risks.
  • Least-privilege recommendations: proposes precise reductions and policy changes to tighten access.

Quick Start

Provide an identity (IAM role, user, or service account) to receive a risk assessment and least-privilege recommendations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify overprivileged IAM roles in AWS?

Identify overprivileged IAM roles by comparing granted permissions against actual CloudTrail usage. This analysis highlights permission gaps, revealing which AWS identities have excessive access relative to their operational needs.

What is lateral movement risk in cloud identity assessment?

Lateral movement risk in cloud identity assessment maps potential attack paths through identities and cross-account permissions. It exposes how an attacker might traverse your AWS environment using overprivileged users or roles.

How do I generate least-privilege policies for AWS service accounts?

Generate least-privilege policies by analyzing CloudTrail usage patterns for your service accounts. The assessment proposes precise permission reductions and restricted policy changes to tighten access and shrink risk.

Can I analyze AWS users and roles without CloudTrail enabled?

Analyzing AWS users and roles relies on CloudTrail to derive actual usage patterns. Without CloudTrail data, the skill cannot effectively compare granted permissions against usage to detect overprivilege.

Does IAM risk assessment work for cross-account roles?

IAM risk assessment evaluates cross-account roles by mapping potential attack paths and lateral movement risks. It assesses these identities to surface exposure and recommend least-privilege remediation.
