Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management

Cortex^® Cloud gives you control over permissions across multicloud environments

Identity and Access Management Security Front

Overly permissive roles, poor credential hygiene and accidental public exposure have all caused significant breaches of enterprise cloud environments.

Effective permissions calculations are complex

In the public cloud, permissions can be defined and inherited from many places — roles, resources, access control lists and more. Gaining visibility into net-effective permissions across cloud providers is complex, to say the least.

Overly permissive roles can lead to high-impact failures

By exploiting identity and access management (IAM) misconfigurations such as overly permissive roles, an attacker can establish control over your entire cloud environment. With these “keys to the kingdom,” it’s easy to take down entire accounts or repurpose them for malicious activities.

Implementing least-privileged access is challenging

While the principle of least privilege is a straightforward concept, continuously maintaining this best practice across highly dynamic multicloud environments eventually becomes a major challenge for every organization.

Monitor permissions and continuously enforce least-privileged access

Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) provides users with broad visibility into effective permissions, continuously monitors multicloud environments for risky and unused entitlements, and automatically makes least privilege recommendations. Users gain simple yet powerful insight into which identities have access to critical infrastructure – including those associated with an IdP provider – all seamlessly integrated into Cortex Cloud.

SOLUTION

Our approach to Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management

Net-effective permissions

Gain comprehensive visibility into who can take what actions on which resources. CIEM is purpose-built to directly solve the challenges of managing permissions across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Cortex Cloud automatically calculates users' effective permissions across cloud service providers, detects overly permissive access, and suggests corrections to reach least privilege.

Manage multicloud entitlements from a single solution
Gain integrated multicloud capabilities delivered from Cortex Cloud that extend everything we do for Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) to cloud identities.
Implement pre-built policies
Leverage specialized out-of-the-box policies to detect risky permissions and remove unwanted access to cloud resources.
Audit permissions for internal compliance
Quickly audit cloud permissions with related user data, service data and cloud accounts.

Rightsizing permissions

Specialized out-of-the-box policies detect risky permissions and help remove unwanted access to cloud resources. Automatically detect overly permissive user access, and then leverage automated recommendations to rightsize them to achieve least-privileged access.

Detect overly permissive policies
Remove unwanted access to cloud resources by automatically detecting overly permissive access policies.
Implement pre-built policies
Use out-of-the-box policies to detect public access, use of wildcards, risky permissions and more.
Automated recommendations
Use automated recommendations to achieve least privilege permissions.

IAM entitlement investigation

Query all relevant IAM entities, including all the relationships among different entities and their effective permissions across cloud environments. Understand which user can take what actions on which resources on which cloud. Turn queries into custom cloud-agnostic policies and define remediation steps as well as compliance implications.

Investigate IAM entitlements
See real-time and historical data to understand IAM activity and entitlements.
Query data to get the full picture of user activity
Gain a detailed view of suspicious activity as well as connected accounts and resources.
Query data specific to identity providers
Discover overly permissive roles of IdP users and correlate results with cloud identities, such as IAM users and machine identities.

IdP integration

Integrate with identity provider (IdP) services like Okta, Azure AD and AWS IAM Identity Center to ingest single sign-on (SSO) data. View effective permissions and overly permissive roles of IdP users, and correlate results with cloud identities, such as IAM users and machine identities.

Leverage integrated support for IdP Services
Ingest single sign-on (SSO) data for permissions mapping and calculate the effective permissions of IdP users across multicloud accounts.
Query data specific to identity providers
Discover overly permissive roles of IdP users and correlate results with cloud identities, such as IAM users and machine identities.
Turn queries into cloud-agnostic policies
Easily build custom guardrails for IdP users by turning RQL queries into IAM security policies with specific compliance and remediation implications.

Automated remediation

Automatically adjust permissions and continuously enforce least-privileged access. Send alert notifications to 14 third-party tools, including email, AWS Lambda and Security Hub, PagerDuty^®, ServiceNow^® and Slack^®.

Activate automated remediation for over-privileged users
Get suggestions for ideal permissions levels for any cloud user from Cortex Cloud.
Support for 14 common integrations
Seamlessly integrate Cortex Cloud alerting with your existing alert management tools with built-in support for 14 third-party tools.
Remediation playbooks
Leverage custom Cortex^® XSOAR playbooks for Cortex Cloud and easily operationalize advanced security orchestration capabilities.
