As organizations modernize on AWS and adopt GenAI tools such as Amazon Q, they’re facing a new set of security and governance challenges: securing cloud access, delivering trusted data into AI workflows, and unifying risk signals across increasingly complex cloud environments. Cloud and AI transformation can’t move forward without a secure, governed foundation—and that starts with understanding and controlling the data fueling these systems.
Today, BigID is expanding its integrations across the AWS ecosystem to give customers a more automated, AWS-native way to secure credentials, operationalize governed data for GenAI, and centralize cloud security operations. These new capabilities include:
- Automated credential rotation with AWS Secrets Manager
- Governed data signals delivered directly into Amazon Q
- A unified AWS Security Connector for Security Hub, Security Lake, and future AWS security services
With these integrations, organizations can reduce manual overhead, strengthen cloud posture, and power GenAI with governed, accurate, and contextual enterprise data.
Why AWS Customers Need a New Approach
Cloud and GenAI adoption have introduced three critical challenges across enterprise environments:
1. Credentials Are Still One of the Biggest Cloud Risks
Static or outdated credentials remain a leading cause of cloud breaches. Many teams still rotate tokens manually or rely on custom scripts. This introduces gaps, delays, and misconfigurations that attackers can exploit.
2. AI Systems Need Governed, Trusted Data
GenAI assistants like Amazon Q depend on the data they’re allowed to access. Without accurate classifications, sensitivity context, and policy alignment, AI models can generate unsafe or noncompliant responses.
3. AWS Security Insights Are Fragmented
Security Hub, Security Lake, and other AWS services provide powerful signals—but they aren’t unified by default. Teams often lack consistent, enriched data risk findings to support cloud investigations and case lifecycle workflows.
BigID’s expanded AWS integrations directly address these gaps – automating what used to be manual, governing what used to be uncontrolled, and unifying what used to be fragmented.
What’s New: BigID for AWS
Automated Credential Security with AWS Secrets Manager
BigID now integrates with AWS Secrets Manager Managed External Secrets to automatically rotate BigID Scanner service tokens. This removes manual credential tasks, improves credential hygiene, and aligns with AWS-native security practices.
- Automated token rotation inside AWS
- No reliance on custom scripts or manual updates
- Stronger access controls across AWS environments
Governed Data Signals for Amazon Q
BigID now delivers governed metadata, classifications, sensitivity tags, and policy context directly into Amazon Q, giving GenAI assistants safer, more accurate, and policy-aligned outputs.
- More relevant and contextual GenAI responses
- Reduced hallucinations
- Outputs grounded in governed enterprise data
Unified Security Connector for AWS
BigID now provides one connector to integrate with AWS Security Hub, AWS Security Lake, and future AWS security services, simplifying deployment and standardizing DSPM findings across cloud operations.
- Centralized DSPM findings directly inside AWS
- Bidirectional case sync with Security Hub
- OCSF-formatted events for Security Lake
- One scalable path for future AWS security integrations
A Governed Foundation for Cloud & AI Across AWS
With BigID for AWS, organizations can:
- Strengthen cloud security posture with automated credential lifecycle
- Reduce operational overhead with AWS-native automation
- Power GenAI with governed, accurate, contextual data
- Streamline security workflows across multiple AWS security tools
- Improve visibility into sensitive or high-risk data across AWS environments
- Confidently scale cloud and AI initiatives with trusted data at the center
These integrations represent a major milestone in BigID’s mission to make data security and governance actionable across every part of the cloud and AI lifecycle.
Looking Ahead
As customers adopt GenAI and expand cloud footprints, the need for automated, data-centric security will only grow. BigID will continue to deepen its integrations with AWS to help organizations govern data, reduce risk, and safely accelerate cloud and AI modernization.
