Datadog has announced the launch of Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM), a new feature within its Cloud Security Management (CSM) platform, to help organizations proactively identify and remediate identity and access risks in their AWS environments before they can be exploited by threat actors. Datadog CIEM leverages industry best practices and attack vectors to automatically detect and prioritize identity risks for users, roles, groups, policies, EC2 instances, and Lambda functions, including administrative privileges, permissions gaps, large blast radius, privilege escalation, and cross-account access. The platform provides detailed descriptions of issues and suggested remediation steps, along with advanced insights to understand the scope of each identified risk, enabling organizations to efficiently mitigate identity risks using out-of-the-box Workflow Blueprints and automation features. Datadog CIEM is now generally available for AWS users and offers a 14-day free trial for new sign-ups.
