CloudKnox Security,
the leader in identity privilege management for hybrid and multi-cloud
environments, today introduced new capabilities to continue to transform
how enterprises address unexpected and excessive identity and resource
risk. The company will demonstrate Privilege-on-Demand, Auto-Remediation
for Machine Identities and Anomaly Detection in the CloudKnox Cloud
Security Platform for the first time at Black Hat USA in Las Vegas,
August 7-8, 2019.
The
release of the new capabilities illustrates CloudKnox Security's
continued momentum in product innovation and growth, specifically to its
JEP Controller. The JEP (Just Enough Privileges) Controller lets
customers across highly regulated industries, such as finance and
healthcare, automatically right size over-provisioned identity
privileges across VMware, AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
Privilege-on-Demand
enables customers to grant privileges to identities for a predetermined
period of time, on a specific resource, or on an as-needed basis.
Privilege-on-Demand offers three options: 1) Privilege-on-Request; 2)
Privilege Self-Grant; and 3) Just-in-Time Privilege to perform an action
on a specific resource for a set period of time.
Auto-Remediation
for Machine Identities allows CloudKnox customers to automatically
revoke all unused privileges on a regular basis for a predetermined set
of non-human identities. A common use case for auto-remediation is a set
of service accounts that are performing a few repetitive tasks with a
limited number of privileges. When these service accounts are
over-provisioned, they can leave organizations wide-open to privilege
misuse or exploitation.
Anomaly
Detection is a by-product of CloudKnox's Risk Management Module. The
Module gives CloudKnox customers a multi-dimensional view into their
environments from an identity, action or resource perspective. Based on
this data, CloudKnox creates risk profiles for each unique identity and
resource. Profiles are then used to detect anomalous behavior, such as
an identity that performs a high-risk action for the first time on a
resource(s) they have never accessed.
"Security
and infrastructure teams often don't have the time or expertise to keep
up with the proliferation of privileges, roles, resources and services
across multiple cloud platforms, which makes it difficult to identify,
remediate and manage risk," said Balaji Parimi, Founder and CEO,
CloudKnox. "Regardless of where our customers are on the cloud maturity
continuum, they can leverage the CloudKnox Cloud Security Platform to
quickly visualize and truly understand their risk posture so they can
take immediate action to protect their cloud resources."
