As organizations increasingly move their data and workloads to the cloud, securing cloud identities has become paramount. Identities are the keys to accessing cloud resources, and, if compromised, they enable attackers to gain access to sensitive data and systems.

Most attacks we see today are client-side attacks, in which attackers compromise someone’s account and use their privileges to move laterally and access sensitive data and resources. To prevent this, you need visibility into your cloud’s identity infrastructure. Unless you know the identity of all the people and objects that are accessing systems, their permissions, and their relationships, you won’t have the context necessary to effectively assess your risk and take preventative measures.
