policy_sentry
Automatically generate least-privilege IAM policies for AWS by specifying resource ARNs and access levels.
What is policy_sentry?
Policy Sentry is an IAM least-privilege policy generator for AWS that automates the creation of secure IAM policies. It solves the problem of manually writing IAM policies by allowing users to specify resource ARNs and access levels, generating policies that limit permissions to exactly what is needed. This reduces the risk of over-permissive policies and helps enforce security best practices.
Cloud engineers, DevOps teams, and security professionals working with AWS IAM who need to create and manage least-privilege policies efficiently.
Developers choose Policy Sentry because it drastically reduces the time and expertise required to write secure IAM policies, abstracts AWS IAM complexity, and integrates with existing workflows via CLI, Python library, Docker, and Terraform.
