CyberArk’s paper explains why cloud identity security is critical yet difficult to implement. Attackers continue to target identities, and breaches at SolarWinds, Okta, and Uber show how one overpermissioned account can cause major damage. Cloud architectures add complexity with layers of VMs, containers, managed services, and serverless apps, creating thousands of entitlements that are hard to manage. Cloud-native tools further multiply human and service identities, secrets, and risks. To address this, CyberArk recommends a phased approach: meet baseline compliance, standardize audit and reporting, and enable continuous improvement with centralized, policy-based access controls.
