CIEM and Zero Trust - Lower Risk Appetite Improves Posture

This IDC Perspective highlights the importance of combining cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) and zero trust (ZT) principles to enhance organizational security posture. As infrastructures, applications, and threats evolve, adopting granular, policy-based access controls and modern security frameworks like ZT becomes crucial. CIEM addresses entitlements visibility and risk management, while ZT ensures continuous verification and minimal trust. Together, they provide robust protection against breaches, improve compliance, and support adaptive security strategies in a dynamic threat landscape."Embrace zero trust and cloud infrastructure entitlement management to transform your security posture," says Philip Bues, senior research manager, Cloud Security. "By continuously verifying identities and access privileges and ensuring that only authorized users have the necessary permissions, organizations can significantly enhance their security posture."
