CloudKnox Security continues to expand its industry-leading position today, improving the Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management space with a key Amazon Web Services technical partnership.

The CloudKnox-AWS Config integration leverages CloudKnox's patented technology to help AWS users automatically enforce least privilege and Zero Trust access.

As an APN Advanced-tier partner available on the AWS Marketplace, CloudKnox now provides continuous monitoring and profiling of permissions granted to the thousands of users and roles leveraging AWS Identity and Access Management permissions.

AWS Config is a service that enables system users to assess, audit, and evaluate the configurations of their AWS resources.

The integration with AWS Config makes it possible for AWS users to enforce least privilege and Zero Trust access by continuously monitoring and reporting against CloudKnox's patented Privilege Creep Index and then automatically triggering remediation actions, if necessary, in real time.

The remediation action then uses an AWS Systems Manager Automation document that invokes the CloudKnox Just Enough Privileges controller through a REST API. The JEP controller delivers an appropriately scoped IAM policy for the user based on the user's previous activity.
