The Challenge

The Scale and Complexity of Privileges Complicate Cloud Security

A leading technology company handling sensitive customer data was transitioning to the cloud.

“They struggled to detect resources and entitlements within their cloud environment, leading to significant blind spots and increased security risks.

“Security in the cloud is about more than just managing credentials in a vault. I need more visibility and context than simply whether a user is or is not an admin.”
