least-privilege▌

Deploy CyberArk Secure Cloud Access to eliminate standing privileges in hybrid and multi-cloud environments using just-in-time access with time, entitlement, and approval controls.

This skill guides practitioners through hardening AWS Identity and Access Management configurations to enforce least privilege access across cloud accounts. It covers IAM policy scoping, permission boundaries, Access Analyzer integration, and credential rotation strategies to reduce the blast radius of compromised identities.

Conduct systematic reviews of privileged accounts to validate access rights, identify excessive permissions, and enforce least privilege across PAM infrastructure.

Detect AWS IAM privilege escalation paths using boto3 and Cloudsplaining policy analysis to identify overly permissive policies, dangerous permission combinations, and least-privilege violations

Harden Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control by implementing least-privilege policies, auditing role bindings, eliminating cluster-admin sprawl, and integrating external identity providers.

Securing AWS Lambda execution roles by implementing least-privilege IAM policies, applying permission boundaries, restricting resource-based policies, using IAM Access Analyzer to validate permissions, and enforcing role scoping through SCPs.

Implement Just-In-Time (JIT) access provisioning to eliminate standing privileges by granting temporary, time-bound access only when needed. This skill covers JIT architecture design, approval workflo

Apply bottom-up and top-down role mining techniques to discover optimal RBAC roles from existing user-permission assignments, reducing role explosion and enforcing least privilege.

Configure IAM permission boundaries in AWS to delegate role creation to developers while enforcing maximum privilege limits set by the security team.
