dAWShund is a suite of tools designed to enumerate, evaluate, and visualize AWS IAM policies to ensure comprehensive access management and mitigate misconfigurations. It consolidates Identity-Based Policies and Resource-Based Policies, simulates effective permissions, and provides visual representations of access levels within AWS environments using Neo4j. Contributions to enhance the tool are encouraged, and it operates under the BSD3 License.

Kube-Policies introduces a security framework for Kubernetes environments, focusing on creating flexible guardrails that enhance security without hindering innovation. By leveraging the Open Policy Agent (OPA), the framework addresses unique client challenges with a structured policy promotion process, robust testing, and minimal user disruption. The approach emphasizes observability and security best practices to protect applications from vulnerabilities while facilitating rapid deployment.

Strengthening cloud security requires more than just IAM Allow policies; implementing IAM Deny policies allows organizations to explicitly restrict actions that principals can take, enhancing overall security. By defining clear restrictions and utilizing complementary tools, IAM Deny helps prevent unauthorized access and misconfigurations in Google Cloud environments.

AWS Resource Control Policies (RCPs) enhance security by allowing organizations to build data perimeters and manage resource-based policies, complementing existing Service Control Policies (SCPs). This article discusses the benefits, challenges, and use cases of RCPs and SCPs, along with examples of policy syntax and guidance for migrating from SCPs to RCPs effectively.
