Verify internal access to critical AWS resources with new IAM Access Analyzer capabilities

AWS has announced a new capability in IAM Access Analyzer that helps security teams verify internal access to critical AWS resources.

• Provides comprehensive visibility into access granted within an AWS organization
• Uses automated reasoning to evaluate multiple policies like service control policies and identity-based policies
• Generates findings for access to resources like S3 buckets, DynamoDB tables, and RDS snapshots
• Aggregates access findings in a unified dashboard
• Can be configured to monitor specific accounts and resource types
• Available in all commercial AWS regions with pricing based on number of monitored resources

This new feature helps organizations strengthen access controls, improve security, and demonstrate compliance by providing detailed insights into internal resource access.
