Details of What’s In Gartner’s Hype Cycle for Cloud Security 2020
- Cloud Infrastructure Entitlements Management (CIEM) is on the Gartner Hype Cycle for Cloud Security for the first time this year. Gartner defines Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) as specialized identity-centric SaaS solutions focused on managing cloud access risk via administration-time controls for managing entitlements and data governance in hybrid and multicloud IaaS architectures. CIEMs often rely on analytics, machine learning (ML) and advanced statistical techniques to detect anomalies in account entitlements. An example of this would be the accumulation of privileges that are dormant or not used over time. CIEM relies on a least-privilege approach to governance and compliance. Gartner predicts CIEM will continue to offer significant advantages over proprietary Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services (CIPS) embedded technologies for governance of identity entitlements. Active vendors in this area include Authomize, Britive, CloudKnox Security, Ermetic, Obsidian Security, Polyrize, SailPoint, Saviynt and Sonraí Security.
