I built an AWS access recertification engine that actually enforces the decision
The author developed an AWS access recertification engine that goes beyond typical review tools by actually enforcing the recertification decision. The engine integrates with AWS IAM to automate the verification of user permissions. If an access right is not recertified within a specified period, the engine automatically revokes it. This ensures that unused or unnecessary permissions are removed, reducing the attack surface and maintaining compliance with security policies. The solution addresses the common problem where recertification processes generate reports but fail to act on them, leaving stale permissions in place. By enforcing decisions, the engine closes the loop on access governance.
Automates enforcement of access recertification decisions, reducing manual overhead and security risks from stale permissions.
