Cloud IAM Misconfiguration Testing: Overprivileged Roles and Policies للمؤسسات العربية

IAM is the most critical cloud security control. Testing for overprivileged roles, policy misconfigurations, and privilege escalation paths. Guidance for AR market.

Identity and Access Management is the most impactful cloud security control — IAM misconfigurations enable the majority of cloud breaches. Testing covers: overprivileged service roles, wildcard permissions in IAM policies, cross-account trust relationships, role chaining and privilege escalation paths, unused but active credentials, MFA enforcement gaps, and conditional access policy bypasses. A single overprivileged IAM role can grant an attacker access to the entire cloud environment.
