CIEM (Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management)

Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) is a security practice that controls and governs who has access to cloud resources and what they can do with them. Imagine it as a detailed permission system for cloud tools and data, ensuring that users and applications only access what they need, when they need it. This helps prevent unauthorized actions, reduces security risks, and maintains compliance. CIEM provides visibility into permissions across cloud environments and automates the management of access rights, making cloud security more efficient, consistent, and aligned with organizational policies.
