AWS permissions boundaries offer an additional layer of security and flexibility for managing access controls to AWS resources, allowing organizations to establish a consistent and well-defined authorization framework that prevents the accidental or intentional escalation of privileges. Permissions boundaries are particularly useful in organizations with a distributed or complex IAM environment, such as centralized cloud IAM teams, multi-tenant environments, segregation of duties, and third-party access. To maintain a robust security posture, organizations must carefully design and monitor resource policies to align with their intended security boundaries, and tools like Snyk can help automate security governance and provide visibility into potential gaps in the security posture.
