How to fix IAM with k9
- k9 reports the effective IAM access for principals and resources nightly
- Cloud teams find issues by reviewing IAM access using the k9 Security Katas (or get notified of changes)
- Cloud teams fix issues by removing excess IAM principal permissions & protecting data with k9’s policy generators
Simple Access Reporting
k9 analyzes access granted by your AWS security policies nightly, then publishes an actionable report to your own S3 bucket.
Pivot, filter, slice, and dice with tools and data you already use.
Use the Excel format (sample) for quick, interactive analysis:
Scale access monitoring with pre-built dashboards for Splunk & Datadog:
Who has access to what data? Really. (sample)
k9 tells you exactly what AWS permissions allow today and every day.
k9 determines who has access with the AWS IAM simulation APIs. The analysis covers Service Control, IAM, and Resource policies and integrates external access findings from AWS IAM Access Analyzer.
Use this certified 3rd party IAM access report to audit:
✅ IAM administrators
✅ Unused IAM users and roles
✅ Access to critical data sources, keys, and IAM roles
✅ IAM user passwords and API access keys
✅ Access to AWS service APIs
Supported Services: IAM, STS, KMS, S3, RDS, DynamoDB, Redshift, and more (1375+ AWS API Actions)
Now your whole team can unit test all of your AWS security policies, even in production.
Secure Policy Automation
Secure your data with security policies generated by k9’s usable infrastructure automation libraries. Built for continuous delivery.
Specify your intended access in simple language and let k9 generate a least privilege security policy.
Use k9 Security’s Terraform & CDK libraries on GitHub for S3 buckets and KMS encryption keys.
✅ Least privilege access to data
✅ Code review
Now your whole team can declare least privilege access to data quickly and correctly.
