Salient Features of the IAM Report


The IAM Report provides you with the following salient features that can help you analyze and plan for enhancements:


  • Enhanced Security: The IAM report identifies and addresses potential security vulnerabilities in AWS account access by highlighting excessive administrators, exposed credentials, and inactive principals. This helps users ensure that only necessary and active users have access, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches. 
  • Actionable Insights: The report provides clear recommendations for addressing identified risks, such as removing unused access keys and deactivating inactive users or roles. This enables users to take immediate actions to enhance their security posture.
  • Focused Categories: By categorizing the findings into administrators, credentials, and unused principals, the report allows users to quickly understand and prioritize areas that need attention.
