About AWS

Amazon Web Services is one of the most comprehensive and broadly adopted public cloud platforms, allowing users to easily deploy virtual machines and networks, as well as access over 200 native AWS services.

Use cases the adapter solves
Connecting AWS to Axonius gives you the ability to quickly and accurately catalog key resources within your AWS public cloud across your entire AWS Organization. AWS data within Axonius can be used to review resource/region usage, analyze access policies for users or other AWS principals, and evaluate the configuration of different resources to ensure they adhere to industry best practices.
