Terminologies

AWS Access Levels

AWS access levels describe the action permissions defined for each AWS service mentioned in the policy. Access level summaries indicate whether the actions in each access level (List, Read, Tagging, Write, and Permissions management) have Full or Limited permissions defined in the policy. Understanding these access levels is crucial for effectively managing access permissions within your AWS environment. Learn more about how AWS defines the access levels here (opens in a new tab).

Plerion Classifications

Plerion Classifications are custom classes defined by Plerion for identifying and categorizing sensitive IAM actions. These classifications provide a structured way to assess and manage potential risks associated with certain actions. The classes include:

  • Credential Exposure
  • Data Access
  • Privilege Escalation
  • Resource Exposure
