Introducing Cloud Identity Insights for Sysdig Secure
Blog post from Sysdig
Sysdig's Cloud Identity Insights is a new feature designed to enhance cloud detection and response capabilities by providing crucial context to identify and act upon potential identity compromises before attackers can exploit them. It addresses the prevalent issue of overly permissive credentials, which often lead to cloud breaches and emphasizes the importance of identity as a critical factor in preventing and responding to such attacks. The feature enables organizations to strengthen their identity posture, detect abnormal user behavior, and respond swiftly to potential threats, offering tools and playbooks for containment and remediation. By suggesting Least Permissive Policy Optimizations, Sysdig helps reduce unnecessary permissions, minimizing the risk of privilege escalation and lateral movement. Additionally, it prioritizes hardening the security posture around high-risk identities, ensuring that security teams can focus their efforts effectively to prevent breaches.
