Today, we’ve seen the majority of organizations embrace a multicloud deployment strategy for their applications and workloads in the cloud. Consequently, the number of high-risk cloud permissions has exponentially multiplied, which expands the cloud attack surface. Security leaders and practitioners are faced with the significant task of reducing complexity in cloud environments while enforcing the principle of least privilege and managing countless human and workload identities. As a result, a new category of identity and access management solutions has emerged: Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM). https://425.show/epm-ovw, Microsoft’s CIEM solution, allows organizations to discover, remediate, and monitor identities and permissions by enforcing the principle of least privilege across multicloud environments. Entra Permissions Management detects, automatically right-sizes, and continuously monitors unused and excessive permissions across AWS, Azure, and GCP from a single pane of glass. 

 

We’re excited to announce that over the next few months, the Identity Digital Influence team will release podcasts, host calls, and lead various events to teach you more about Entra Permissions Management. You’ll learn how you can best leverage Entra Permissions Management to reduce security risks in your multicloud environment and security compliance best practices. Listed below are the scheduled activities for November, December, and January:

    Sue Bohn the link to share product suggestions points to a forum that does not have categories for Entra PM or the other products in the new Entra Suite which makes it difficult to submit ideas. Can you please have someone update. 

     

    Thanks
