| Oct 13, 2021 11:15am - 11:45am (London) | Minding the Multi-cloud: An Identity-First Approach to Securing AWS and Azure Everyone is moving to the cloud, faster than planned. Most organizations have their sights on adopting a multi and/or hybrid cloud strategy this year. Yet, 75% of cloud security breaches are expected to result from inadequate management of identities, access, and privileges by 2023 [Gartner]. So how do you protect your growing multi cloud infrastructure? AWS alone currently offers some 258 services and involves 9,286 total permissions. Remote work is adding to identities and permissions explosion -- increasing access risk. Securing and governing access is further compounded by the fact that each public cloud has its own way of managing permissions and privileges. Join Ermetic’s Or Priel, VP Product Management, for a better understanding of managing identities, permissions and privileges in AWS and Azure. We will explore: - AWS IAM roles and policies and Azure RBAC Strategies for enforcing least privilege with confidence - Governing access and protecting sensitive resources - Mitigating multi cloud risk using automation and analytics | |
