Secure Your Cloud: Key Features of CIEM Tools
Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) helps organizations gain control over permissions, identities, and access in multi-cloud environments, reducing risk and improving compliance.
What Is CIEM?
CIEM tools are designed to manage, monitor, and optimize cloud entitlements. They focus on ensuring that only the right identities have access to the right cloud resources, helping enforce least privilege access at scale.
Feature 1 –
Entitlement Discovery
Automatically detects all users, roles, service accounts, and associated permissions across your cloud environments. Provides full visibility into who has access to what, helping eliminate blind spots and risky overpermissions.
Feature 2 – Least Privilege
Enforcement
CIEM tools analyze permission usage and recommend or auto-adjust access based on actual activity. This ensures identities only retain access to what’s necessary, reducing potential abuse or accidental exposure.
Feature 3 – Cross-Cloud
Visibility
Gain a unified view of entitlements across AWS, Azure, GCP, and other platforms. CIEM simplifies access control across multiple cloud services and helps standardize security practices across the business.
Feature 4 – Anomaly Detection & Alerts
Receive real-time alerts on suspicious access behavior or unauthorized permission changes. This early warning system helps catch threats before they escalate, supporting faster incident response and better security posture.
