Frequently Asked Questions

Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) helps organizations discover, analyze, and manage identities, roles, and permissions across cloud environments. It provides visibility into cloud access, identifies excessive permissions, and supports the principle of least privilege.

Teriam helps security teams identify cloud identities with excessive, unused, or potentially risky permissions. By improving visibility into cloud access and highlighting identity-related risks, Teriam helps organizations prioritize remediation and strengthen cloud security.

You can identify excessive permissions by comparing granted access with actual activity across cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Teriam helps analyze cloud entitlements and highlight permissions that may be unnecessary or overly broad.

Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) focuses on managing identities, authentication, and access permissions. CIEM provides additional visibility into cloud entitlements, analyzes how permissions are used, identifies excessive access, and helps organizations reduce cloud identity risks.

Teriam supports least privilege by helping organizations identify permissions that exceed actual access needs. Security teams can use these insights to review access, reduce unnecessary entitlements, and maintain more appropriate permissions across cloud environments.

Teriam helps organizations gain visibility into non-human identities, including service accounts and other machine identities. This supports the identification of unused or excessive permissions and helps security teams reduce risks associated with machine-to-machine access.
