Overly permissive roles, poor credential hygiene and accidental public exposure have all caused significant breaches of enterprise cloud environments.

Learn how IAM controls protect your cloud against breaches.

Effective permissions calculations are complex

In the public cloud, permissions can be defined and inherited from many places – including roles, resources, access control lists and more. Gaining visibility into net-effective permissions is complex, to say the least.

Overly permissive roles can lead to high-impact failures

By exploiting Identity and Access Management (IAM) misconfigurations such as overly permissive roles, an attacker can establish control over your entire cloud environment. With these “keys to the kingdom,” it’s easy to take down entire accounts or repurpose them for malicious activities.

Implementing least-privileged access is challenging

While the principle of least privilege is a straightforward concept, continuously maintaining this best practice across highly distributed, dynamic cloud environments eventually becomes a major challenge for every organization.

Monitor permissions and continuously enforce least-privileged access

The IAM Security module provides users with broad visibility into effective permissions, continuously monitors cloud environments for risky and unused entitlements, and automatically makes least privilege recommendations. Users gain simple yet powerful insight into the net-effective permissions for every role – including those associated with an IDP provider – all seamlessly integrated into Prisma® Cloud.

THE PRISMA CLOUD SOLUTION

Our approach to IAM security

Net-effective permissions

Gain deep visibility into who has the ability to take what actions on which resources. By running complex calculations that analyze permissions, such as AWS IAM roles, policies and groups; AWS resource-based policies; and AWS service control policies (SCPs), the IAM Security module can precisely determine net-effective permissions.

  • Manage cloud entitlements from a single solution

    Gain integrated capabilities delivered from Prisma Cloud that extend everything we do for Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) to cloud identities.

  • Implement pre-built policies

    Leverage specialized out-of-the-box policies to detect risky permissions and remove unwanted access to cloud resources.

  • Audit permissions for internal compliance

    Quickly audit cloud permissions with related user data, service data and cloud accounts.

Net-effective permissions

Rightsizing permissions

Specialized out-of-the-box policies detect risky permissions and help remove unwanted access to cloud resources. Automatically detect overly permissive user access, and then leverage automated recommendations to rightsize them to achieve least-privileged access.

  • Detect overly permissive policies

    Remove unwanted access to cloud resources by automatically detecting overly permissive access policies.

  • Implement pre-built policies

    Use out-of-the-box policies to detect public access, use of wildcards, risky permissions and more.

  • Automated recommendations

    Use automated recommendations to achieve least privilege permissions.

Rightsizing permissions

IAM entitlement investigation

Query all relevant IAM entities, including all the relationships among different entities and their effective permissions across cloud environments. Understand which user can take what actions on which resources. Turn queries into custom cloud-agnostic policies and define remediation steps as well as compliance implications.

  • Investigate IAM entitlements

    See real-time and historical data to understand IAM activity and entitlements.

  • Query data to get the full picture of user activity

    Gain a detailed view of suspicious activity as well as connected accounts and resources.

  • Query data specific to identity providers

    Discover overly permissive roles of IDP users and correlate results with cloud identities, such as IAM users and machine identities.

IDP integration

Integrate with identity provider (IDP) services like Okta to ingest single sign-on (SSO) data. View effective permissions and overly permissive roles of IDP users as well as correlate results with cloud identities, such as IAM users and machine identities.

  • Leverage integrated support for Okta

    Ingest single sign-on (SSO) data for an effective permissions calculation and list the effective permissions of Okta users across cloud accounts.

  • Query data specific to identity providers

    Discover overly permissive roles of IDP users and correlate results with cloud identities, such as IAM users and machine identities.

  • Turn queries into cloud-agnostic policies

    Easily build custom guardrails for IDP users by turning RQL queries into IAM security policies with specific compliance and remediation implications.

Automated remediation

Automatically adjust permissions and continuously enforce least-privileged access. Send alert notifications to 14 third-party tools, including email, AWS Lambda and Security Hub, PagerDuty®, ServiceNow® and Slack®.

  • Activate automated remediation for over-privileged users

    Get suggestions for ideal permissions levels for any cloud user from Prisma Cloud.

  • Support for 14 common integrations

    Seamlessly integrate Prisma Cloud alerting with your existing alert management tools with built-in support for 14 third-party tools.

  • Remediation playbooks

    Leverage custom Cortex® XSOAR playbooks for Prisma Cloud and easily operationalize advanced security orchestration capabilities.
