Enterprises are shifting their on-premises infrastructure to the cloud at a rapid pace which presents new challenges not typically encountered with on-premises environments. In the absence of adequate guidance, organizations have been applying traditional on-premises Identity and Access Management (IAM) practices to cloud processes – indicating a new need for a modern approach to IAM. As an organization’s cloud environment grows, so does the imperative for greater visibility of identities and associated permissions. A lack of oversight can lead to credential theft, introducing risk of compromised cloud infrastructure, sensitive data theft, and business operations.

The Cloud Credential Guardian product is the solution to identifying IAM gaps within your organization’s AWS ecosystem, evaluating root causes, and implementing a modern IAM design and program.

**Overview **

Cloud Credential Guardian redefines IAM through Modern Identity platforms methodologies and program transformation. As organizations move to cloud-enabled ecosystems, unprecedented threats emerge and introduce elusive risks because of misconfigured entitlements. Cloud Credential Guardian is designed to remediate access sprawl and optimize identity and access governance at a program level. Discover newfound confidence in your cloud posture with Modern Identity and redefine what IAM means to your organization.
