AI agents can automatically review and suggest fixes for IAM policies to enforce least‑privilege.
1. Export current policies: aws iam list-policies --scope Local > policies.json.
2. Invoke a Bedrock AgentCore workflow that parses policies.json and flags over‑privileged statements.
3. Simulate the refined policy: aws iam simulate-principal-policy --policy-source-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/ExampleUser --action-names s3:*.
4. Review the simulation output and apply the recommended changes via aws iam put-policy.
Gotcha: AI suggestions may miss context‑specific business rules, so always validate critical changes manually.
Automating IAM Policy Validation with AI Agents
Leverage AI agents to auto‑audit cloud IAM policies for least‑privilege compliance, using AWS CLI simulations and Bedrock AgentCore recommendations.
