Validated by Omdia, organizations operating across AWS, Azure, and GCP face growing risk and complexity from standing privileges, fragmented identity tools, and inconsistent access policies that expand attack surface and slow cloud operations. Engineers need fast, native access to cloud resources, but manual approvals and disconnected workflows often lead to workarounds that bypass security controls. At the same time, persistent privileged access leaves organizations exposed to credential theft, lateral movement, and compliance gaps. The result is a constant tradeoff between security and productivity, one that cloud platform and security teams are under pressure to eliminate as cloud adoption and identity sprawl continue to accelerate.
