Scaling Least Privilege Automation in Cloud Environments
Automating least privilege in cloud environments poses a significant challenge due to the scale and complexity of the issue. With the continuous creation of machine identities, manual approaches to least privilege are no longer feasible. The necessity to automate this process is crucial, but the envisioning of such automation remains largely theoretical. The approach involves integrating automation tools to manage service and non-human identities consistently across cloud environments, akin to existing automation for end-users.
