Identity Security

Secure all your Cloud & SaaS identities - human & non-human!

Did you know that most organizations have experienced at least one security breach because of an identity misconfiguration? As human and non-human identities continue to grow within cloud environments, a proactive and comprehensive security approach can reduce blind spots and help prevent identity breaches.

Why Identity Security?

Every single SaaS identity can be exploited by threat actors with disastrous consequences.

These machine identities are not centrally managed, can be easily exploited, and are often not compliant with regulatory requirements. The scale at which they operate makes it difficult to monitor and protect against threats.

Lack of configuration in the identity fabric can be because of excessive privileges to accounts, expired or neglected identity credentials, and incorrectly set up MFA. Neglecting to monitor this effectively can lead to missed signs of security threats.

These shadow identities often lack visibility, bypass established security policies, and may access sensitive data without proper authorization. Because they are not tracked, they can become easy targets for attackers.

Reporting

Visibility

Complete visibility of all identities

  • Monitor human and non-human identities in real-time for comprehensive visibility
  • Identify users and machines with excess privileges and improper access
  • Classify identities as human, machine, internal, third-party, and so on
  • Track all user and non-human activities in real-time

Detection

Swift risk detection

  • Detect unauthorized access, excessive privileges, and identity security gaps
  • Get alerts for unused or expired credentials and exposed identities
  • Implement the principle of least privilege across all identities
  • Gain context about ownership, status, and usage for each identity-based risk

Compliance

Comprehensive compliance
adherence

  • Define and enforce identity security policies aligned with industry standards
  • Conduct checks for regulations like PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST, ISO, & more
  • Manage regular audits with customizable compliance reports
  • Ensure non-human identities are also compliant with regulations

Remediation

  • Gain insights into improvements and compliance status over time

Frequently Asked Questions

Identity security involves managing and protecting user and service identities in cloud environments. Identity security is essential because it helps prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and compliance violations. With the increasing complexity of cloud infrastructures, securing identities (both human and non-human) ensures that access is tightly controlled and monitored, reducing the risk of security threats.

Human identities refer to individuals who access digital resources and systems using unique credentials. Identity security for individuals is vital because cyber attackers often target users looking to exploit weak or compromised credentials. A breach of human identity can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information, data breaches, and identity theft.

Non-human identities are digital entities such as APIs, bots, and applications that perform automated tasks and interact with cloud resources without direct human involvement. Identity security for digital entities is important because they often possess significant privileges and access rights that can be exploited if compromised. Non-human identities can become entry points for attackers without proper security measures, leading to unauthorized access, data breaches, and service disruptions.
