Distribution of Access Key Status

Overview

The "Distribution of Access Key Status" widget provides a visual representation of the status of all IAM access keys in the system. This widget helps administrators understand the overall health of key management practices by showing which keys are active, inactive, or rotated.

Why It Matters

For IT Engineers:

1. Key Management:

   • Offers a snapshot of key statuses, allowing for better management and oversight of access keys across the environment.

2. Operational Monitoring:

   • Helps IT teams identify and take action on keys that are inactive, rotated, or in need of attention.

3. Security Hygiene:

   • Ensures that key statuses are properly tracked and that outdated or inactive keys are disabled or rotated as necessary.

For Security Engineers:

1. Access Risk:

   • Helps assess whether all active keys are properly managed, reducing the risk of exposed or compromised keys.

2. Compliance:

   • Ensures that the key rotation policies are followed and that only necessary keys are active, supporting compliance with security standards.

3. Security Posture:

   • Provides visibility into the overall key management landscape, allowing security teams to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
