AWS AI/ML Cloud Onboarding

In this section we can find the steps to onboard an AWS cloud account with AI/ML asset scanning to the AccuKnox SaaS platform.

AWS IAM User Creation

Follow these steps to create an IAM user with the permissions required for AI/ML asset scanning:

Step 1: Navigate to IAM → Users and click on Add Users

Step 2: Give a username to identify the user

Step 3: In the "Set Permissions" screen:

a. Select "Attach policies directly"

b. Search "ReadOnly", Filter by Type: "AWS managed - job function" and select the policy

c. Search "SecurityAudit", Filter by Type: "AWS managed - job function" and select the policy

Step 4: Go to Add Permissions > Create inline policy and attach the following policy to grant access to AI/ML services:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "AccuKnoxAIMLPermissions",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "bedrock:InvokeModel",
                "bedrock:InvokeAgent",
                "sagemaker:InvokeEndpoint",
                "sagemaker:ListTags",
                "bedrock-agentcore:InvokeAgentRuntime",
                "bedrock-agentcore:StopRuntimeSession",
                "aws-marketplace:Subscribe",
                "aws-marketplace:ViewSubscriptions"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

Note

aws-marketplace:Subscribe and aws-marketplace:ViewSubscriptions are required for invoking certain models (e.g., Claude Opus 4.5) that are distributed through AWS Marketplace.

Step 5: Finish creating the user. Click on the newly created user and create the Access key and Secret Key from the Security Credentials tab to be used in the AccuKnox panel
