Understand every access path into your S3 data
See which identities, applications, SDKs, and AWS services interact with your buckets, prefixes, and objects. Detect behavioral changes, investigate historical activity, and understand how S3 is actually being used.
S3 generates access data. Turning it into security context is the hard part.
Raw activity is difficult to investigate
High-volume S3 access telemetry is fragmented and expensive to operationalize at scale.
Permissions do not explain behavior
IAM tells you what an identity can do. It does not tell you whether what it just did is normal.
Applications change constantly
New services, SDKs, workloads, roles, and access paths appear over time, often without security teams noticing.
"We watch actual behavior, not just config. That's a completely different signal."

Understand S3 access from identity to object
Access relationships
Map identities and applications to buckets, prefixes, objects, and operations.
Behavioral intelligence
Learn normal resources, volume, timing, operations, and client fingerprints for every identity.
Identity and client attribution
Connect IAM identities to AWS services, SDKs, runtimes, applications, and external clients.
Detect meaningful changes in access behavior
- First-seen readers and writers
- New buckets, prefixes, and access paths
- Sudden changes in read or write volume
- New SDKs, clients, or execution environments
- Activity outside established behavioral patterns

4 Dead ETL Pipelines Caught by S3 Write Pattern Monitoring
How a platform team discovered four Glue ETL pipelines silently reporting success while writing zero bytes, caught via S3 write pattern anomalies, not query failures.
