IAM Access Analyzer is an important security feature that can help developers identify unintended access to resources and data. Access Analyzer monitors access policies to help administrators and security teams protect their resources from unintended access.
In addition to generating and managing findings, Access Analyzer can also validate IAM policies against policy grammar and AWS best practices. This can help developers identify and resolve issues with their IAM policies before they are attached to resources.
In this lab, you will enable IAM Access Analyzer, manage findings, and validate an IAM policy in the AWS console.
