Least privilege and excessive cloud permissions

Identity discovery, contextual risk correlation and automated enforcement

Cover of CNAPP - Enforce least privilege across cloud identities PDF

Tenable One Cloud Exposure, powered by the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform, helps organizations enforce least privilege across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes environments. It addresses challenges like overly permissive roles, privilege escalation paths, and orphaned accounts by providing continuous, agentless identity and entitlement visibility. By combining identity discovery with contextual risk correlation and automated remediation, Tenable ensures permissions are right-sized, excessive access is revoked, and cloud attack paths are eliminated, ultimately strengthening identity and access control, reducing the attack surface, and simplifying compliance.

  • Comprehensive Identity Discovery: Continuously maps all human, service, and machine identities across multi-cloud environments, including their permissions and activity.
  • Contextual Risk Correlation: Integrates with Tenable One to correlate excessive privileges with vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and sensitive data exposure, prioritizing the most dangerous attack paths.
  • Automated Enforcement of Least Privilege: Remediates risky entitlements at scale through automatic revocation of unused permissions, tightening of overly broad roles, and triggering automated workflows.
