How Pearson reduces their “Permissions Creep” in their AWS environment - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

Organizations increasingly expand their cloud infrastructure operations and developers continue to increase their pace of innovation. As a result, Identity and Access Management and other security teams are stretched thin. Allowing for permissions creep to easily proliferate throughout the enterprise, increasing the attack surface. This is compounded by the fact that all of the cloud providers are adding new cloud services and functionality—and thus, new permissions—at a nearly daily frequency. Without properly managing all human and non-human identities and right-sizing permissions, permissions / privilege creep will remain a problem. This challenge is what Pearson set out to solve by gaining a level of holistic visibility of who can do what in the environment, and whether the status quo “what” is too permissive; and if so, how should they right-size permissions? Join Pearson and CloudKnox Security on Wednesday, April 28th at 10am PT / 1pm ET to hear how one of the leading media companies in the education world, uses CloudKnox’s PRIVILEGE CREEP INDEX™️ technology to automate the right-sizing of permissions across their AWS environment.
