Why Least Privilege Matters in Cloud Security?

Why Least Privilege Matters in Cloud Security?

What's the best way to navigate least privilege complexities in a multi cloud environment? And how is the role of identity management evolving? We spoke to Jeff Moncrief from Sonrai Security on why identity is the new network in the cloud-driven world. We speak about the challenges of implementing least privilege in cloud environments, the misconceptions surrounding identity roles, and the critical importance of segmenting access across public clouds just as rigorously as we did on-premises.
