The Cloud Permissions Gap across an organization’s cloud infrastructure is exponentially getting more
dangerous as bad actors exploit those identities to exfiltrate sensitive information from growing attack
vectors. By instituting best practices for cloud permissions and entitlements management and leveraging
automated technologies that reinforce those best practices—like CIEM—organizations will be better
suited to protect critical cloud infrastructure resources and identities in their hybrid and multi-cloud
environments. Organizations continuing to prioritize digital transformation and cloud-first strategies are
not complete without a robust, scalable CIEM platform, especially as they strive to implement a Zero
Trust architecture.
