Cloud Guide to Achieving the Principle of Least Privilege

Why overprivileged identities are a common access point for breaches – and how prevent them

Maintaining the principle of least privilege on the public cloud is an entirely new challenge. The scale of the modern cloud provides a vast number of potential points of access and elements that can be affected by such access. In this guide we review:

• What makes the management of privileged identities so difficult?
• What kinds of people (as distinct from roles) are likely to be assigned or accumulate inflated levels of privilege?
• What are the risks of overprivileged identities?
• How can you take back control of identities and data in your public cloud?
