Knowing what can access what requires a continuous, unified graph of activity, privileges, and potential access. Sonrai is purpose-built to understand every identity’s effective permissions and enforce least privilege. Sonrai’s graph will map every permission, no matter how complex, and is the only CIEM platform that achieves this. A simple “no” answer to “is my datastore public?” used to be good enough for point-in-time CSPM solutions. Today’s dynamic clouds are much more complex than that. Periodic checks don’t support modern security posture anymore. Discover more details at Least privilege. Custom to your cloud: Sonrai organizes your cloud by team and workload importance, right-sizing policies for each environment and allowing you to route issues to the relevant people.
Comprehensive permissions intel unlocks the ability to enforce least privilege strategically and with precision. Stringent policies to protect sensitive data are applied only where they’re needed, without overwhelming the security team or stifling development innovation. The context provided by Sonrai shows exactly where policies should be enforced, with total context of any sensitive data, network connections, and other configurations. Additionally, Sonrai organizes your cloud into swimlanes with target security maturity levels and applied business context.
The numbers speak for themselves. This survey study focused on the relationships between cloud security and identity controls and found that organizations continue to increase both their usage of public clouds and the number and types of tools they use to secure their data in them. On average, organizations are using no less than six separate tools to secure their clouds today, and yet 56% say that machines and non-people identities are out of control in the cloud. The results of this are that a staggering 96% of enterprises surveyed report that their “organizations faced security incidents in the last 12 months” with 98% of them reporting identity-related security challenges.
Reveal every path to your data. Lock down every over-privileged identity. Identity is the cloud’s perimeter, and it’s complex. Secure your cloud with Sonrai and gain a single source of truth for every identity’s permissions and all possible access to sensitive data. Reveal every identity right and always know what’s changed! Sonrai’s log inspection and API monitoring provide a full inventory of identities and record of all recent activity. Immediately identify excessive or unused permissions and detect anomalies before they turn into critical risks.
Sonrai’s Risk Amplifiers and patented identity graph show the hidden “blast radius” of each vulnerability so you can understand how severe a vulnerability truly is and make the next right step to secure your cloud. True context can’t be limited to only exploit availability and whether a workload is running or not. Those factors alone just won’t tell you anything about the potential for sensitive data exposure. With Sonrai’s risk amplifiers, you know exactly what vulnerability needs patching today to keep your enterprise and data protected. Find extra information on https://sonraisecurity.com/.
