How AI Is Transforming Identity Security in AWS

As cloud infrastructures expand and digital identities multiply, maintaining visibility and control across AWS environments has become one of the

most critical and complex security challenges. The recent AWS IAM Access Analyzer enhancement, unveiled at AWS re:Inforce, marks a major

step forward in solving this problem. The new Internal Access Analyzer now evaluates access within AWS organizations, identifying which IAM

users and roles can reach critical resources such as Amazon S3, DynamoDB, and RDS. This evolution helps security teams protect sensitive

workloads with automated reasoning, daily monitoring, and unified visibility across internal access paths.

However, Access Analyzer and AWS IAM Identity Center still manage separate pieces of the identity puzzle: one analyzes access policies, the

other manages workforce identities and permissions. Without a cohesive view, organizations risk delayed detection of identity-based threats and

increased exposure from excessive permissions or misconfigurations.

That’s where Saviynt Identity Cloud bridges the gap. In collaboration with AWS, Saviynt integrates seamlessly with the new Internal Access

Analyzer to deliver complete, context-aware visibility across all AWS identities, resources, and policies. By unifying data from both Identity Center

and Access Analyzer, Saviynt reveals not only who has access but what that access actually allows — surfacing hidden risks, excessive privileges,

and toxic access combinations across accounts and services.

Saviynt’s integration provides a comprehensive access risk management framework that empowers security teams to:

• Gain precise, resource-level visibility into effective permissions across AWS environments.

• Automate remediation with Just-in-Time (JIT) access, role clipping, and access remodeling.

• Continuously enforce least-privilege policies and maintain compliance with identity governance controls.

• Correlate human and non-human access data, simplifying audit readiness and improving response to emerging risks.

Beyond AWS, Saviynt’s Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) extends these capabilities across hybrid and multi-cloud ecosystems. ISPM

ingests identity data — from users, roles, policies, and configurations — to build intelligent insights that detect anomalies, unused access, and

misconfigurations before they escalate. By transforming fragmented identity signals into actionable intelligence, organizations can eliminate

access sprawl, reduce operational risk, and achieve continuous compliance at scale.

Unified identity management is no longer optional for cloud-first enterprises. As AWS services and non-human identities proliferate, integrating

Saviynt with AWS IAM Access Analyzer delivers the visibility, automation, and AI-driven intelligence required to protect modern cloud

environments. The result is a secure, frictionless identity ecosystem where access governance, monitoring, and remediation work together to

strengthen both agility and resilience.
