CHANDLER, AZ, UNITED STATES, November 19, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- k9 Security, a leader in cloud access governance solutions, announces a strategic partnership with MontyCloud, Inc. This integration enables automated IAM security assessment and monitoring of customer accounts through MontyCloud's DAY2 platform, where k9 Security analyzes security configurations, generates actionable reports, and provides continuous visibility into cloud entitlements across AWS accounts.— Stephen Kuenzli, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of k9 Security
The partnership addresses a critical challenge facing AWS customers and partners: understanding and managing AWS API and data resource accessibility across complex cloud environments.
Organizations like Managed Service Providers (MSPs) especially feel this pain as they wrestle with an ever-growing web of permissions, roles, and access controls across multiple customer accounts. There is constant pressure to maintain airtight security while enabling business agility, combined with the risk that one small IAM misconfiguration could either cripple operations or create vulnerabilities, makes this a particularly painful challenge for MSPs.
By integrating k9 Security's IAM Access Governance solution into MontyCloud's Service Catalog, customers can now deploy comprehensive access management tools with just a few clicks.
"MSPs are looking for ways to deliver more value to their clients while growing their business efficiently," said Stephen Kuenzli, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of k9 Security. Now MSPs can identify immediate security improvement opportunities, expand AWS managed services, and strengthen client relationships through proactive IAM governance."
Key benefits of the integration include:
• Quick identification of critical risks such as excess administrators and unused credentials
• Comprehensive visibility into effective IAM access within and between AWS accounts
• Automated assessment of IAM security posture
• Simplified remediation processes with safe and proven policy generators
• Streamlined compliance reporting and monitoring
The integration makes it easier to manage privileged access; allowing organizations to quickly review IAM administrators across all managed accounts, identify inactive administrators, and remediate excess admins.
