IT and Security teams have the daunting task of enabling business growth and fostering innovation through an expanding cloud footprint, while also mitigating cloud risks.
Yet, many of them are failing to establish and maintain security best practices or address productivity bottlenecks, alongside the rapid proliferation of cloud identities.
Misconfigurations, including identity-related issues such as enabling too many cloud access permissions or granting overly permissive access to virtual machines, containers, and hosts, are ranked the #1 threat to cloud computing by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). According to Microsoft research, there are over 50,000 types of identity permissions across Entra and associated services, yet 98% of the cloud privileges given to users are never used.
With BeyondTrust Identity Security Insights and Entitle, you can pair complete identity visibility and cloud entitlement management controls paired with actionable insights across your multicloud estate. Our CIEM solution capabilities strip away unnecessary (and risky) standing access, while granting timeboxed permissions on demand. Innovation keeps moving, while the blast radius of threats is minimized.
Gain total visibility across your identity fabric, mapping who (and what) can access resources across your entire cloud environment.
Visualize the escalation paths of identities, including human, machine, and AI agents.
Complete access reviews and compliance audits more quickly with immutable, high-fidelity audit logs and session metadata.
Remove excessive privileges in bulk.
Convert standing privileges to just-in-time, just-enough, with frictionless automation.
Leverage time‑boxed role assumptions, permission bundling, temporary group membership, and scoped policies.
Integrate with AWS, Azure, and GCP, along with popular HRIS systems and DevOps/security tools.
Reduce access friction by using automated JIT provisioning workflows with MFA, peer review, and break‑glass controls.
Leverage API/CLI support to enable fast and secure DevOps pipelines.
Assess & Map (Visibility)
Inventory identities, roles, policies, groups, resources, and usage across clouds. Visualize relationships and Paths to Privilege™ to locate standing access and blast radius multipliers.
Design Guardrails (Least Privilege)
Identify unused/high-risk permissions. Recommend scoped roles and policies. Define pre‑approved access bundles that encode business-safe tasks (e.g., DB read-only‑ 1 hour, Kubernetes cluster admin 30 minutes).
Automate JIT Access (Enablement)
Users and automations request access via Slack/Teams/CLI/portal. Policies drive approvals. Access is time‑boxed and auto‑revoked.
Operate & Prove (Compliance)
Signed logs and centralized evidence: who requested, who approved, what was granted, how long it lasted, and what actions occurred.
Improve (Feedback Loop)
Rightsize continuously using real usage data. Retire obsolete privileges and reduce mean-time-to-approve to steadily shrink the blast radius.
“Employees do the maximum using minimum permissions. [Billie] has embraced JIT access as a standard practice and now experiences a notable reduction in standing permissions. The task of reviewing user access has become manageable, thanks to Entitle's system which efficiently supports a modern tech stack on a large scale."
"I wholeheartedly endorse Identity Security Insights as a game changer in the identity security space for organizations like ours, starting with on prem AD and then moving into a cloud-forward footing, Insights offers visibility that is unparalleled. Insights and all other BeyondTrust tools serve as a shield to protect our digital kingdom, and it has given us confidence in our security footing."
—Anna Essex, Sr. Security Analyst, Polsinelli
"The biggest thing that I’ve been excited about with Identity Security Insights is that you’re looking at my Okta. [BeyondTrust] is also the only one that has access to this kind of information across all my servers and my employees. I don’t have a tool collecting that local information other than BeyondTrust's solutions. There’s a lot that [BeyondTrust] can show me that no one else can.”
—Manager of Information Security, Leading American Paint Manufacturer
CIEM stands for Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management. BeyondTrust Entitle delivers CIEM capabilities by discovering, analyzing, and controlling permissions across AWS, Azure, and GCP, helping organizations enforce least privilege at scale.
CIEM solutions analyze identity relationships and access rights to uncover hidden risks. BeyondTrust Entitle automates this process by mapping entitlements, applying just-in-time access, and revoking unused privileges to eliminate standing access.
CIEM reduces identity-based risk, limits privilege sprawl, and simplifies compliance. BeyondTrust Entitle delivers these benefits through automated entitlement discovery, least privilege enforcement, and audit-ready evidence collection across multicloud environments.
CIEM strengthens cloud security by eliminating excessive permissions that attackers exploit. BeyondTrust Entitle continuously analyzes entitlements, enforces time-bound access, and integrates with PAM and ITDR to block privilege escalation.
BeyondTrust Entitle unifies entitlement discovery, just-in-time access, and privilege automation with deep integration into BeyondTrust’s PAM and Identity Security Insights platforms and was recognized as a leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for PAM for seven consecutive times, as well as the 2025 Forrester Wave™ Leader for Privileged Identity Management.
