Cloudanix Joins AWS ISV Accelerate Program
Use case · AWS key leak prevention

The safest AWS key is the one you never created.
For the rest, contain the blast radius fast.

AWS key leaks are still one of the fastest ways attackers get cloud control. Cloudanix helps teams prevent static keys with JIT credentials, detect exposed keys in code and CI/CD, score leaked-key blast radius, and revoke or rotate keys with evidence attached.

The problem

Leaked keys are a prevention and response problem.

Scanning finds the secret. The urgent question is what that key can do right now.

01

Static keys still exist

Legacy scripts, CI jobs, third-party integrations and forgotten developer workflows keep long-lived AWS keys alive.

02

Secret scanners stop at detection

A scanner can tell you a key leaked. It usually cannot tell you whether the key is active, what it can access, or how to rotate it safely.

03

Shared keys hide ownership

When teams share keys across jobs or developers, incident response slows down because nobody knows which workload will break when the key is revoked.

How it works

Find the key, score the key, replace the key.

01

Prevent with JIT

Cloudanix replaces standing developer and automation credentials with short-lived credentials minted at the moment of use, scoped to the request and fully audited.

02

Detect leaked secrets

Secrets in code, pull requests, CI logs and deployment artifacts are detected and mapped back to IAM users, roles, repositories and owners.

03

Calculate blast radius

CIEM analysis identifies exactly what the leaked key can do, which data it can reach, which roles it can pass and whether it sits on an attack path.

04

Rotate and prove closure

Cloudanix opens owner-assigned rotation workflows, verifies replacement, confirms last use and keeps evidence for audit and post-incident review.

Why Cloudanix

What changes when this use case runs on one graph.

JIT reduces key inventory

The best leak-prevention program removes static keys from daily workflows rather than only scanning for them after the fact.

CIEM tells you severity

A leaked read-only sandbox key and a leaked production admin key should not create the same incident.

Agent-aware by design

AI coding agents do not get shared developer keys. They request temporary credentials through Cloudanix policy and audit controls.

What Our Users Are Saying

Customer Reviews

Cloudanix is trusted by security leaders worldwide to deliver proactive, reliable, and cutting-edge cloud security.

One day, I changed the password of a root account, and my CTO called me within less than a minute to confirm if I did so. I was not expecting a reaction this quick. He told me Cloudanix alerted him of this password change and that he wanted to confirm as it was a critical security notification. I couldn't believe it!

Managing third-party partner access was once a major concern for our security posture. With Cloudanix JIT Cloud, we've effectively achieved zero third-party risk. We can now grant access confidently, knowing that it is temporary, audited, and automatically revoked, resulting in a 100% reduction in our privileged access exposure.

Implementing Cloudanix JIT internally allowed us to practice what we preach. By eliminating permanent access to our own clouds and databases, we've neutralized the risk of standing privileges, ensuring our own 'keys to the kingdom' are never left exposed.

The problem with permissions is a lot of times, the gaps are left open due to oversights from inside the organization itself. With Cloudanix's CIEM, we get a complete view of user permissions and access. This enables us to update the permissions, reducing the attack surface.

Common questions

Asked plainly.

Can Cloudanix detect AWS keys in source code?

Yes. Cloudanix Code Security detects AWS access keys and other secrets in repositories, pull requests and build artifacts, then maps them to cloud identities where possible.

Can Cloudanix tell whether a leaked key is active?

Yes. Cloudanix checks IAM key state, last-used data, CloudTrail activity, permissions and graph reach to determine whether the key is active and what it can access.

How does JIT help prevent key leaks?

JIT replaces long-lived credentials with short-lived credentials minted only when needed. A credential that expires in minutes and is scoped to one request is far less useful if copied from a terminal, log or agent session.

Can Cloudanix automatically rotate leaked keys?

Cloudanix can trigger rotation workflows and, where policy permits, revoke or disable keys. Many teams require approval before revocation to avoid breaking production jobs; Cloudanix supports that approval flow.

Does this work for CI/CD keys?

Yes. Cloudanix maps CI/CD principals, repository owners, runner environments and deployment targets, so leaked automation keys can be tied to the jobs and workloads that use them.

How is this different from GitHub secret scanning?

GitHub secret scanning is excellent at finding secrets in GitHub. Cloudanix adds cloud-side context: active status, permissions, blast radius, attack path, owner, rotation workflow and audit evidence.
