Don't Let Your Cloud Security Catch A Bad Case Of Permission Creek

Security Boulevard, Tuesday, October 7th, 2025

Cloud security teams are often blind to one of the biggest threats to cloud environments: a web of over-privileged identities that create pathways for attackers. Learn how to regain control of your cloud identities by automating the enforcement of least privilege across your environment.

Key takeaways:

The gradual accumulation of excessive and unused cloud permissions, known as 'permission creep,' creates a dangerous attack surface that is difficult to manage manually.

Effectively enforcing least privilege requires a modern CNAPP integrated with an exposure management platform, combining identity discovery, context-aware risk prioritization and automated remediation.

By automating the enforcement of least privilege, organizations can significantly reduce their attack surface and simplify compliance without slowing down operations.
