Overview

In cloud environments, managing identities and access permissions is crucial to prevent security breaches. Sysdig's Cloud Infrastructure Entitlements Management (CIEM) solution addresses this challenge by providing organizations with tools to detect and mitigate excessive permissions. By analyzing actual permission usage, Sysdig enables the enforcement of least privilege policies, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and enhancing overall cloud security. This approach not only strengthens security but also aids in compliance with standards such as PCI, SOC 2, NIST, and ISO 27001.

Features and Capabilities

• Cloud Identity Insights: Detect compromised users by analyzing identity activity patterns, allowing for early identification of privilege escalation and account compromise.
• Least Permissive Policy Optimization: Automatically generate and recommend access policies that limit users to the permissions they've utilized prior to any compromise, preventing future attacks with real-time incident context.
• In-Use Permissions Analysis: Evaluate access patterns to identify unused permissions, facilitating the creation of access policies that restrict privileges to only what is necessary for users to perform their tasks effectively.
• Risk Labels: Automatically categorize IAM violations with risk labels, such as multifactor authentication status, inactive users, and administrative access, to prioritize remediation efforts.
• Cloud Attack Graph: Visualize the connections between in-use vulnerabilities, permissions, and real-time detections to uncover hidden attack paths and risks within the cloud infrastructure.
• Compliance Simplification: Meet specific identity and access management requirements for various standards, including PCI, SOC 2, NIST, and ISO 27001, by simplifying the audit of access controls.
