Can Cloud Scanners Detect Insecure IAM Roles and Permissions?
In cloud service providers (CSPs) such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Identity and Access Management (IAM) controls who has access to which resources through roles, policies, and permissions. IAM is about who can do what, like letting a developer read from a Database, but not delete it. Misconfigured IAM, such as roles with unnecessary privileges, is the common cause of unauthorized access/exploit/ data breaches, and resource abuse.
