IAM Policies

Overview

The "IAM Policies" widget provides a comprehensive view of all IAM policies in your AWS environment. IAM policies define permissions and access controls for users, groups, and roles within AWS, and this widget helps track and manage those policies to ensure proper security posture.

Why It Matters

For IT Engineers:

1. Permissions Management:

   • Provides a clear view of all policies in your environment, helping IT engineers ensure that permissions are correctly defined and implemented.

2. Operational Efficiency:

   • Simplifies the process of auditing and reviewing policies, making it easier to manage user access and permissions across your AWS environment.

For Security Engineers:

1. Risk Reduction:

   • Ensures that policies are properly aligned with the principle of least privilege, reducing the risk of over-permissioning and unauthorized access.

2. Compliance:

   • Helps maintain compliance with security standards by ensuring that policies are correctly implemented and regularly reviewed.
