Understanding Cloud Identity Lifecycle Management

Cloud identity lifecycle management is essential for securing access to sensitive assets in a complex cloud environment. Organizations often face challenges in distinguishing between privileged and non-privileged access, particularly with the multitude of resources such as S3 buckets and EC2 instances. The complexity arises from the various types of identities, including human users, service accounts, and workloads, each requiring tailored management approaches. Effective lifecycle management involves understanding who can access cloud resources and ensuring that access aligns with their needs while minimizing risk.
