Automated AWS IAM Key Compromise Response Workflow

This n8n workflow automates the detection, analysis, and remediation of compromised AWS IAM access keys. It begins by fetching a user’s access keys via AWS API, then reviews each key’s status. If a compromise is suspected, it recommends deactivation, generates new security policies, and applies them to prevent further misuse. The process includes auditing user policies, creating approval requests for manual intervention, and finally notifying the security team with a comprehensive report. Throughout the workflow, features like policy decoding, batch processing, and AI-powered analysis are used to enhance accuracy and efficiency. This automation is ideal for organizations seeking to quickly respond to potential security breaches, reduce manual effort, and maintain strict access controls across AWS environments.
