Cloud Identity & Entitlement Management (CIEM)
Together, we can reinvent your business
Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) is a security process that helps organizations manage and secure access to cloud resources.
Cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) is the process of managing identities and privileges in cloud environments. The purpose of CIEM is to understand which access entitlements exist across cloud and multicloud environments, and then identify and mitigate risks resulting from entitlements that grant a higher level of access than they should.
With CIEM solutions, security teams can manage cloud identities, entitlements, and enforce the principle of least-privileged access to cloud infrastructure and resources. CIEM solutions help companies reduce their cloud attack surface and mitigate access risks posed by excessive permissions.
Comprehensive Cloud Identity & Entitlement Management (CIEM)
Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) is a security process that helps organizations manage and secure access to cloud resources. CIEM tools help security teams:
Analyze and manage identities, access rights, privileges, and permissions.
Enforce the principle of least privilege (POLP).
Reduce the risk of granting excessive permissions to cloud resources.
Understand access risk Manage entitlements across multicloud environments.
CIEM can help organizations:
Improve compliance.
Detect and remediate identity-related risks.
Address the over-provisioning of permissions.
Keep pace with rapid changes in cloud environments.
Maintain visibility and control over who has access to what.
CIEM is a specialized version of Identity and Access Management (IAM) that focuses on identities and access control in the cloud. CIEM differs from IGA tools, which are best for on-prem environments and managing access for human users.
Some components of CIEM include:
Entitlement visibility; Rightsizing permissions; Advanced analytics and Compliance.
