Privilege Policy &
Identity and Access
Management (IAM)
Policy Validation
Continuous, automated testing of an organization’s IAM policy
Privilege Policy & IAM Policy Validation Overview
IAM tools have become a standard methodology for securely controlling access to company resources.
A threat actor gaining control of a misconfigured or over-provisioned identity can access privileged
information, alter systems and potentially gain administrative control over the environment.
Cymulate provides assessments that show where a threat actor can obtain credentials and identity
information. Attack path maps visualize how an attacker can move throughout on-premises and
cloud environments.
IAM Policy Validation Challenges
Ongoing tuning and maintenance of IAM technologies poses challenges
Identities are a Primary Target
Identities are a Primary Target
Almost every attack leverages some form of credential abuse and privilege escalation to advance their attack
Constant Changes
Constant Changes
Changes in operations and users are constant, making it difficult to protect user Identities, systems, and applications
Complex IAM Policies
Complex IAM Policies
IAM policies are highly complex, with multiple conditions, resources, and actions
Identity Escalation Risk
Identity Escalation Risk
Access to a single identity may provide access to more systems and data. A loss of Domain Control will be debilitating
