What is Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management?


 CIEM addresses cloud native security challenges of managing IAM in cloud environments. These challenges are often too complex and dynamic to be managed effectively by the native tools provided by cloud service providers (CSPs). The emerging CIEM category defines technologies that provide identity lifecycle and access governance controls, which ultimately reduce excessive cloud infrastructure entitlements and streamline least-privilege access controls across dynamic, distributed cloud environments. 

 

Key Challenges Managing Cloud Infrastructure Entitlements: 

  1. Privileged Access Management. 

  1. Identity Governance and Administration. 

 

For Privileged Access Management, a CIEM should: 

  1. Monitor and prevent entitlement misuse. 

  1. Assess the necessary duration of entitlements. 

  1. Address the prolific nature of cloud entitlements. 

 

For Identity Governance & Administration, a solution should cover: 

  1. Visibility, governance and compliance oversight. 

  1. Monitoring excessive and risky entitlements. 

  1. Rightsizing automation. 

 

SecurEnds pre-built integration with AWS, Azure, and GCP cloud platforms allows self-service access request to create users, groups and permissions with approval workflow and perform user access review for identity governance. SecurEnds unifies HR and IT, using employee data and updating into cloud platforms to inform the user provisioning and access control.
