According to a recent ESG survey, over-permissioned accounts and
roles is the top-cited cloud service misconfiguration detected and
overly permissive privileges is the most commonly cited type of
cybersecurity attack against cloud applications and services
experienced over the last 12 months.1 As organizations rapidly
scale cloud deployments and adopt advanced services to digitally
transform their business, the creation of human, application and
machine identities is accelerating. Access permissions for these
identities are often granted by default, based on group or role,
and can go unused or have more entitlements than they actually
need.
CyberArk Cloud Entitlements Manager is a key component of
CyberArk’s Identity Security strategy that starts with Zero Trust
and uses artificial intelligence to understand context and intent
in order to properly assess risk and take appropriate actions.
Because all identities can become privileged under certain
conditions, traditional approaches to managing and securing
identities have become obsolete. This is especially true in the
cloud where identities and their permissions are constantly being
added or changed. It’s critical for organizations to have a
consistent strategy for protecting access by a range of human,
application and machine identities, and the services they
consume.
“Cloud adoption has massively accelerated, but as new
environments and cloud services are deployed, thousands of
identity-based permissions are created – many of which go
overlooked,” said Chen Bitan, chief product officer, CyberArk. “If
not properly configured or managed, these identities create a
pathway for attackers to gain privileged access and ultimately
compromise an entire cloud environment. CyberArk Cloud Entitlements
Manager helps organizations take back control of cloud security by
transforming how these permissions are secured and managed while
also delivering unprecedented time to value and operational
efficiency.”
In under an hour, CyberArk Cloud Entitlements Manager can be
configured, provide an assessment of exposure levels and deploy
granular remediations – quickly delivering exceptional customer
value. The cloud agnostic service continuously detects hidden,
misconfigured and unused cloud permissions – improving security by
providing a consistent approach to cloud least privilege. For
cloud, security and Identity and Access Management teams, the
service drives increased productivity with a simple, intuitive user
experience that includes a centralized dashboard with a single view
of permissions across Amazon Web Services (AWS), including Amazon
Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), Google Cloud Platform
(GCP) and Microsoft Azure environments.
As part of CyberArk’s growing SaaS portfolio, which also
includes Idaptive, Alero, Privilege Cloud and Endpoint Privilege
Manager, Cloud Entitlements Manager builds on the company’s
industry leading privileged access management and IDaaS
capabilities to provide unmatched enterprise wide security
intelligence by helping to and reduce the growing risk of cloud
permission sprawl while offering incomparable operational
simplicity.
