AWS Creates New Policy-Based Access Control Language Cedar
All of the sdks support client side monitoring (CSM), so these sort of tools can be built client side. https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/1.10.46/gui...
afaics the only challenge is mapping some of the apis to iam as its only 85% 1:1
There's also tools for helping with iam like (generator, and linter)

Policy Sentry - IAM Least Privilege Policy Generator
It is an open source initiative from Salesforce. Using Policy Sentry, it is easy to automate the creation of IAM policies with little knowledge on security.
-
Starting your Cloud Security Journey
You can use tools like policy_sentry to create least privilege IAM policies.

I built a tool which automatically suggests least-privilege IAM policies
The tool is in a similar space to iamlive, policy_sentry, and consoleme (all of which are worth checking out too if you're interested in making AWS security easier) but the main points of difference I see are:
-
Show HN: Endgame – An AWS Pentesting tool to backdoor or expose AWS resources
@kmcquade ur awesome ! we are users of https://github.com/salesforce/policy_sentry and definitely definitely https://github.com/salesforce/cloudsplaining .
If I could give you guys money, I would. You should totally build a startup around it.

Launch HN: Slauth (YC S22) – auto-generate secure IAM policies for AWS and GCP
Why are you using (very expensive) GPT, or any LLM for that matter, when this was already a solved problem using rulesets? Netflix for example has open source that does this already: https://github.com/Netflix/consoleme
Instead of analyzing your code, you just run your code with no permissions and it automatically detects permission failures and thens open those permissions, with a UI showing you what it did so you can remove any permissions you don't want.
That actually seems much more secure than trying to divine the rules from reading the code.
What value is the LLM adding here?

AWS IAM Roles, a tale of unnecessary complexity
This is the way. I’ve seen this happen countless times. It’s happened to me too. It’s happened to colleagues.
The worst case I’m aware of from first-hand knowledge was a large cluster of resources that got deployed for a product demo by a sales engineer and forgotten about. Turned into a nice ~$100,000 surprise in the quarterly budget.
Netflix built a tool for managing IAM permission requests as an auditable workflow, called ConsoleMe: https://github.com/Netflix/consoleme
-
How do you handle IAM requests?
There’s this tool as well https://github.com/Netflix/consoleme among others, check them out and see if the overhead is ok for you all now, but keep it simple to start.

I built a tool which automatically suggests least-privilege IAM policies
The tool is in a similar space to iamlive, policy_sentry, and consoleme (all of which are worth checking out too if you're interested in making AWS security easier) but the main points of difference I see are:
-
Zero knowledge of multiple accounts/cross accounts rolea/budgets/consolidated bill etc. Any good resources to read ?
After you read the resources, you can stand on the "shoulders of giants" https://github.com/Netflix/consoleme
