WALLy will fix the privilege problem in your cloud. WALLy removes access to dangerous privileges, blocks access to unused cloud services, removes standing privileges and enforces JIT access to any privileged function. All changes are subject to final human approval and full audit. WALLy knows your cloud privilege landscape in real time across humans, machines, AI agents, and third parties. WALLy is an expert in cloud IAM, privilege threat exposure, and how to securely configure IAM – without impacting developers or running workloads. Ask simple questions to understand your privilege risk:
- “Do we have ransomware exposure in production?”
- “List all developers with unused privileges over the past 90 days.”
- “Which services do not have privileges protected?”
- “Tell me everything Eddy did when accessing prod last night”
WALLy is an expert in privilege and its implications and will pinpoint what’s risky and why in your IAM setup. WALLy knows usage of running workloads, where privilege is unnecessary and what exemptions are needed to avoid breaking workloads.
WALLy Takes Action – with Stringent Guardrails
WALLy goes beyond visibility to actively reduce privilege risk in your cloud IAM setup, with built-in safeguards that ensure every change is approved and tracked. Example actions:
- “Quarantine all unused identities in staging.”
- “Remove all access to iam:PassRole, except where required.”
- “Ensure any new third-party access to prod requires prior approval”
- “Block access to bedrock everywhere except in research accounts”
WALLy stages all remediations for you to submit. All changes respect RBAC guardrails and are scoped to what your authorizations allow. Changes are made using cloud-native IAM functions like AWS SCPs, RCPs and IAM conditions (or GCP/Azure org policies). Plain-English summaries outline what the proposed changes are. With WALLy you will quickly quarantine unused identities, enforce JIT access for developers, control third-party access and remove unwanted access to privileged permissions.
Works In Your Ecosystem
Trigger protections from CNAPP tools, enforce controls from remediation tickets, act on detected threats from other security tools and execute approved controls directly in AWS. WALLy is built to integrate safely in your modern technology environment with:
- Comprehensive guardrails. The Cloud Permissions Firewall is the enforcement engine that establishes safe guardrails that WALLy operates within.
- Your final say. Only you can submit staged changes – WALLy sets them all up for you to finalize.
- MCP server support. Have another or a customized LLM solution you want to integrate with? WALLy’s tools are all accessible via an open source MCP server to allow easy automation from other AI Agents or customization.
- Workflow Integration: Work with ticketing systems, incident response tools, and detection platforms.
- Audit. All actions are audited and all staged changes are available for review along with easy to understand summaries of what changes are ready for you to submit.
WALLy Has Your Back Even If You Don’t Ask
You don’t need to know every question to ask because WALLy is proactive. It continuously analyzes your privilege landscape and flags what matters most: unusual activity, risky configuration changes, or signs you should tighten controls. If WALLy sees something worth your attention, like an identity trying to use a privilege that has been restricted, it will surface that anomaly right away..
The Bottom Line
Every cloud privilege comes from permissions. Managing those permissions is the only way to control privilege risk at scale.
WALLy is your always-on, always-ready PAM enforcer. Ask it a question. Approve the fix. Watch the risk vanish without breaking workloads.
That’s how privilege security finally keeps pace with the cloud.
Note: WALLy is now in beta and will be generally available in Q4 for all Sonrai Cloud Permissions Firewall customers. Learn more at www.sonraisecurity.com/wally.
