Cloud adoption brings speed and scalability but also creates risk from exploding permissions and easy privilege escalation, especially in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Decentralized IAM tools lead to security silos and misconfigurations, while over-permissioning increases attack surfaces. Cloud Infrastructure Entitlements Management (CIEM) addresses these risks by centralizing visibility, enforcing least privilege, and automating remediation of excessive permissions. Modern CIEM solutions are fast to deploy, often serverless, and can use AI to detect and correct risks. They integrate with existing identity security tools, streamline compliance, reduce operational drag, and provide executives measurable risk reduction.
