We detect, eliminate, and manage shadow access, which refers to unauthorized and unmonitored access to cloud data, applications, and infrastructure, ensuring that potential attackers cannot exploit these vulnerabilities. By adopting an automated and risk-focused strategy, we revolutionize cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) operations to secure and oversee cloud data effectively. This approach enables cloud and security teams to swiftly analyze all data access patterns, including who is accessing the data, what they are accessing, when and where it happens, along with understanding the reasoning behind the access and its implications for cloud data security. Stack Identity safeguards cloud data by emphasizing both the risks and impacts associated with identity, access, and data vulnerabilities, all of which are illustrated through our real-time data attack map. We assist in addressing various access risks—both human and API-related—while guiding identity practitioners, governance, compliance teams, and data owners toward taking decisive actions. Additionally, we furnish SecOps and DevOps teams with a clear and transparent perspective on cloud security threats, enabling them to make informed decisions regarding data protection strategies. Ultimately, our comprehensive approach not only enhances security but also fosters a proactive culture of compliance and risk management within organizations.
