Tough to enforce. Tougher to know when to enforce it. Critical for cloud operations.
The Sonrai identity graph examines all users, roles, trusts, policies, permissions, non-person identities, groups, etc. Patented analytics map out all possible effective permissions, sometimes many relationships deep, effectively simulating possible attack paths.
Sonrai integrates into activity log services for insight into who’s used what privileges to access what data, including actions inside secret stores and databases. Continuous monitoring means privilege-use intel that is constantly updating for all identities. Unused permissions are flagged for removal.
Least privilege can be too burdensome as a blanket policy, slowing down work in environments where it’s not called for. A sandbox environment with no PII or lateral movement possibilities should not be subject to least privilege – but understanding where to enforce it requires knowledge of all potential cross-account access.
Dive deeper on the principle of least privilege, how does a least privilege policy work, and the importance of getting there.
