This task reviews the existing AWS IAM password policy to ensure it meets specified security standards. It involves assessing criteria like password complexity, expiration, and rotation rules for compliance with organizational or regulatory requirements.

This task configures rules for user passwords in your AWS account. This process includes defining requirements for password complexity, expiration, and rotation to enhance account security and manage access controls effectively.

This task makes all users to update their passwords by updating their login profiles, typically following the implementation of a new password policy. This ensures that all user passwords comply with the updated security standards, enhancing overall account security.

This runbook involves setting stringent password rules and enforcing them for all IAM users. Key measures include complex password requirements, regular password changes, and preventing password reuse. This effort aligns with SOC2 standards for robust data security and access management in cloud environments, enhancing the overall security posture and integrity of the system.

This task audits AWS IAM users to identify those with administrative access. It ensures adherence to security standards by limiting broad access rights, crucial for mitigating risks associated with unauthorized permissions in a cloud environment.

This task involves verifying the presence of access keys for the AWS root user. It is critical for security to ensure that the root user, which has extensive privileges, does not have active access keys, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches in the AWS environment.

This task involves identifying IAM users in an AWS environment who have individual policies attached to their accounts. This is key for security and compliance, ensuring permissions are managed through group memberships or role assumptions, rather than direct attachments, for better access control and security practices.

• Use Case: Ensure that IAM roles and policies adhere to the principle of least privilege, and no unnecessary permissions are granted.
• DagKnows can automate the auditing of IAM roles and policies, identifying any roles with permissions that exceed required levels.
• The platform can automatically adjust policies or flag them for review, ensuring compliance with security best p...

This task is used to detach managed IAM policies or delete inline policies from specific IAM users. This action is crucial for maintaining secure and appropriate access levels within AWS environments, ensuring compliance with best security practices.

This task manages user permissions in AWS by confirming the existence of both IAM users and groups, ensuring users aren't already in the target group, and then adding them if necessary. This process streamlines user access management and maintains organized, best-practice-based user-group associations in AWS IAM.

This task identifies and isolates AWS IAM (Identity and Access Management) access keys that have surpassed a predefined age threshold. AWS IAM keys are utilized to securely control access to AWS services and resources. As a best practice for secure access management, it is recommended to regularly rotate IAM access keys and retire those that are no longer needed or have become outdated. By fil...

This task pertains to managing and refreshing AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user credentials to uphold security best practices. IAM access keys, which consist of an access key ID and a secret access key, are used to authenticate AWS API requests. However, if these keys are compromised or simply aged, updating them becomes crucial to safeguard the account. Updating might involve chan...

This task refers to the removal of an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user's access keys, ensuring they can no longer be used for authentication with AWS services and resources. IAM access keys comprise an access key ID and a secret access key, which are employed to sign programmatic requests that you make to AWS. Whether it is for security compliance, a response to a security inciden...

This task assigns a policy to an IAM user, enabling them to assume a specified IAM role. This key security measure allows controlled, temporary access elevation in line with the principle of least privilege. It's essential for secure and efficient permission management in AWS. Note:- This will directly attach a policy to the AWS IAM User.

This task involves deactivating IAM (Identity and Access Management) access keys in AWS that have surpassed a specified age or are no longer in use, as a measure to enhance security. Regularly auditing and deactivating stale or outdated access keys restrict unauthorized or inadvertent access to AWS resources and services. This task deactivates access keys that are identified as old, thereby en...

This task involves generating a new set of credentials – an access key ID and a secret access key – for an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user. These credentials are vital for programmatic access to AWS services, enabling API calls to be authenticated and authorized. Within AWS, an IAM user can have a maximum of two active access keys, facilitating seamless key rotation. The procedur...

This runbook ensures that AWS IAM users don't have direct policies attached, adhering to SOC2 security guidelines. It mandates permissions be granted via group memberships or IAM roles, enhancing security and simplifying permission management. This audit is key in maintaining structured access control, crucial for SOC2 compliance in cloud environments.
