The Cloud Identity Problem
Cloud environments have exploding identity and permission sprawl. 95% of cloud permissions are never used, creating massive attack surface.
Over-Privileged Risk
Most cloud identities have far more permissions than needed. One compromised identity can access the entire environment.
