Continue to About ↓- What it does
- Act Security is a cloud access governance platform that removes excessive and unintended access across cloud environments—over-privileged identities, wildcard permissions, unwanted network reachability, and over-broad AI-agent permissions.
More detail
- Rather than only listing misconfigurations, it proposes concrete access-policy changes that are simulated against real access data before the customer applies them through their own cloud-native controls.
- Best for
- Enterprise security teams and CISOs in multi-account or multi-cloud environments with large remediation backlogs and access sprawl, including regulated organizations that must enforce access boundaries for frameworks like NIST 800-53, PCI DSS, and HIPAA.
- Pricing
- Paid commercial platform.

- Teams looking for runtime detection and response or a standalone EDR replacement, and very small or single-operator environments—Act is preventive access and architecture hardening, not detection tooling.

Capabilities
A practical view of what is available and where limitations apply.
| Offering | Available | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud boundary mapping | Yes | Organizes cloud constructs into business-meaningful boundaries by organization, environment, application, data, and other named boundary types. |
| Unified reachability modeling | Yes | Cross-analyzes identity, network, and AI access to compare configured, observed, and intended access. |
| Guided hardening campaigns | Yes | Structured campaigns using Guardrails (broad explicit-deny) and Ring-fencing (selective explicit-allow least privilege) policy types. |
| Change simulation before enforcement | Yes | Simulates each policy change against historical access data before it reaches production. |
| Automatic write access to customer cloud | No | Per the vendor's HUB International case study, Act has no write path into the environment by design; customers review and apply proposed changes. Breadth of this deployment model across all customers is unknown. |
| AI-agent permission scoping | Yes | Ring-fences cloud AI agents so they only reach intended resources. |
| Drift and exception management | Yes | Manages exceptions and violations within the customer's own tools with attached data-driven proof. |
| Free Amphi IAM toolkit | Limited | Seven single-purpose IAM utilities for policy expansion, truth tables, local simulation, shrinking, conversion, collection, and reachability queries; analysis-only, with campaigns and enforcement staying in the paid platform. |
| Runtime detection and response | No | Positioning is preventive access and architecture hardening, not detection or response tooling. |
| Public security trust center | Yes | Hosted on SafeBase at trust.act.security. |
