Cloud Infrastructure Authorization Management is a security practice and solution for managing access rights in a cloud computing environment, focusing on monitoring and managing the access rights of users, service accounts, roles, and entities to cloud infrastructure resources to ensure that these rights are reasonable, compliant, and secure. Its advantages include:

Permission visibility

CIEM can provide full visibility into access rights throughout the cloud infrastructure. This helps identify and monitor which users, roles, or entities have access to cloud resources, reducing the risk of abuse.

Authority management

CIEM helps manage permissions, including creating, modifying, and deleting permissions. Administrators can control permissions more finely, ensuring that users and service accounts access only the resources they need.

Reduce risk

CIEM can detect and alert abnormal or abnormal permission activity. This helps to quickly detect potential permissions, unauthorized access, and malicious activity, thereby reducing security risks.

Compliance and audit

CIEM can help meet compliance requirements by monitoring and recording permission activity for cloud resources. This is important for meeting regulatory and industry standard requirements, as well as for conducting audits and reporting.

Multi-cloud support

An organization runs multiple workloads in a cloud service startup. CIEM provides consistent rights management and monitoring across multiple cloud platforms, simplifying the rights management process in multi-cloud environments.

automate

The CIEM automatically performs rights management tasks, such as rights restoration and adjustment. This reduces the effort of manual administration and increases operational efficiency.

Real-time response

CIEM can monitor permission activity in real time, identify potential security issues and take action to reduce potential risks.

Principle of least privilege

CIEM can support the principle of least privilege, ensuring that users and service accounts only get the permissions they need to do their jobs, reducing the attack surface.

In summary, Cloud Infrastructure Authorization Management (CIEM) is a comprehensive solution that aims to help organizations better manage and protect access rights in their cloud infrastructure, reduce security risks, meet compliance, and improve cloud security overall. With CIEM, you have the benefits of better permission visibility, risk reduction, compliance satisfaction, automated permission management, and more. Help organizations better protect sensitive data and resources in their cloud infrastructure.
