- [Resource collection][2] must be enabled for your AWS accounts.
- For the best experience, Datadog strongly recommends using the AWS-managed [`SecurityAudit`][5] policy, or the more permissive [`ReadOnlyAccess`][6] policy.
- To view security misconfigurations on the [Security overlay][10], [Cloud Security][3] must be enabled.
- Viewing content on the [Security overlay][10] requires additional products to be enabled:
- To view security misconfigurations and identity risks, [Cloud Security][3] must be enabled.
- To view sensitive data, [Sensitive Data Scanner][12] must be enabled. For a user to turn the layer on, they must have the [`data_scanner_read`][13] permission.

**Note**: Cloudcraft adapts to restrictive permissions by excluding inaccessible resources. For example, if you opt to not grant permission to list S3 buckets, the diagram will simply exclude those buckets. If permissions block certain resources, an alert is displayed in the UI.

The security overlay highlights potential security exposures in your architecture, grouping resources by Region, VPC, and Security Group. It displays security findings detected by Cloud Security, helping you:

- Identify security issues directly in infrastructure diagrams.
- Analyze misconfigurations and identity risks in context, so you can prioritize remediation.
- Assess your security posture before deploying applications.

You can click on any resource with findings to open a side panel with more details, allowing deeper investigation without leaving the diagram.
- Identify security issues directly in infrastructure diagrams
- Analyze findings in context, so you can prioritize remediation:
- Misconfigurations
- Identity risks
- Sensitive data (S3 buckets only)
- Assess your security posture before deploying applications

This view is ideal for mapping attack surfaces during penetration tests or security audits. To keep the diagram focused, components like EBS volumes and NAT Gateways are excluded.

By default, the security overlay shows Critical, High, and Medium severity misconfigurations or identity risks, which you can filter at the bottom of the screen.
#### Investigate misconfigurations and identity risks

By default, the security overlay shows Critical, High, and Medium severity misconfigurations or identity risks, which you can filter in the legend.

You can click on any resource that has findings to open a side panel with more details, allowing deeper investigation without leaving the diagram. Click **Investigate** to get more context about the finding and learn how to remediate it.

#### Investigate sensitive data

You can view sensitive data matches for your S3 buckets. Click a resource with matches to learn more about the bucket's sensitive data matches. Then, hover over a filename and click its **Inspect in AWS** button.
