Securitain

AWS identity and cloud risk intelligence.

Securitain helps security, cloud and platform teams understand how AWS identities, permissions, trust relationships, resources and security evidence connect into real security risk.

Instead of reviewing IAM users, roles, policies and findings as isolated objects, Securitain provides the context needed to understand how access is created, where it can lead, and what the resulting consequence may be.

What can Securitain help you answer?

AWS environments can contain thousands of identities, policies, roles and resource relationships. The difficult questions are rarely answered by looking at one object at a time. Securitain is designed around five questions.

  • Who has access? Identities, roles, groups, federation and permission sets across connected AWS accounts.
  • What can they actually do? Effective access, permission boundaries, organization controls and other authorization context beyond attached policies.
  • What can they ultimately reach? The potential reach of an identity across roles, privileged capabilities and supported resources.
  • How could access be escalated? Permission and trust relationships that may create a path to a more privileged capability.
  • How is the risk governed and proven? Findings, remediation, exceptions, compliance mappings and evidence, without losing the underlying technical risk.

Security risk is relationship-shaped

AWS authorization is distributed across multiple services and policy layers. A developer might not have privileged access directly. But the developer may belong to a group. That group may grant permission to assume a role. The role may have access to production.

The resulting security relationship looks more like this:

Developer
  │
  │ member of
  ▼
Developers Group
  │
  │ policy permits
  ▼
sts:AssumeRole
  │
  ▼
Production Role
  │
  ▼
Production Resources
A developer's access to production runs through group membership, a policy and a role — not a direct grant.

Looking only at the developer would miss the consequence. Securitain connects these relationships so teams can investigate access paths rather than isolated objects.

Read-only by design

Securitain is designed to provide security visibility without requiring standing administrative control over your AWS environment. AWS accounts are connected through a customer-controlled cross-account IAM role. Securitain uses temporary AWS STS sessions to access the security information permitted by that role.

Security

Securitain does not require customer IAM user access keys to perform the standard AWS account assessment. Access is temporary, controlled from your AWS account, and can be reviewed or revoked by your organization at any time.

Remediation guidance may explain how to resolve a finding, but remediation remains under the customer's control. Learn how AWS connectivity works →

Evidence before conclusion

A security conclusion is only as useful as the evidence behind it. Securitain findings are designed to provide context such as affected identity or resource, account context, risk category, severity, supporting evidence, why the condition matters, remediation guidance and lifecycle status.

Important

Unavailable or unassessed information is not the same as secure.

Securitain works alongside your AWS security stack

Securitain is not intended to replace IAM, CloudTrail, AWS Organizations, IAM Identity Center or other AWS security services. Instead, it connects security information across these areas to make relationships and consequences easier to investigate.

It can also complement existing posture-management and compliance tooling by focusing more deeply on questions around identity → permission → trust → reachability → consequence → governance.
