An IAM role receives broad permissions because it feels faster at the time. A security group allows traffic from anywhere because someone needs quick access. These are not rare cases. They happen daily in real AWS environments.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is not that teams don\u2019t care about security. The problem is that AWS environments change constantly. New services, new regions, new accounts, and new configurations appear faster than manual reviews can keep up. Over time, small gaps add up, and attackers don\u2019t need to work hard to find them.<\/p>\n<p>This is where <a href=\"https:\/\/fidelissecurity.com\/cybersecurity-101\/cloud-security\/what-is-cloud-security-posture-management-cspm\/\">Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)<\/a> becomes critical.
