Analyze an assessment

Review access risk across principals using filters and tiered insights

After an assessment is completed, you can assess your security posture on the View Assessment page in both visual and tabular formats:

  • Visual widgets highlight key insights from the assessment and also act as interactive filters.

  • The table below displays detailed data for each principal and can be filtered using the widgets or additional filter controls.

The top section of the assessment displays the last assessment date, selected integration, number of accounts, number of identities, number of principals, and the status of the assessment.

  1. Filter the assessment by clicking a widget and viewing the details in the table.

Each widget and table column is explained in the following sections. After exploring the assessment, you can investigate and resolve overprivileged access.

Widgets

Widget
Description

Overprivilege

Overprivilege over time

Displays the trend of overprivileged permission over the last seven days split between all permissions and privileged permissions (Admin, IAM)

Dormant (Unused) Principals

High risk Overprivileged

Number of principals in the highest tier

Principals by Resource Type

  • IAM Role

  • IAM User

  • IAM User Access Key

  • Secret

Principals by Tier

Number of principals grouped by the following tiers:

  • Critical

  • High

Table (Principals)

Column
Description

Principal

Name of the principal

Account

Account associated with the resource

Risk Score
