Cloud Entitlements enable principals (users and services) to access and perform actions in the cloud environment. Often these entitlements are inadvertently or unknowingly configured to be too permissive. As a result, cloud resources are misconfigured or worse become accessible by bad actors. Once configured, it may be complex to understand and troubleshoot issues in large environments.
Late last year VMware Aria Automation for Secure Clouds introduced Cloud Entitlements management to help simplify the understanding of complex cloud entitlements, enabling users to review entitlements and see the effective permissions a principal has on a resource.
We are excited to announce that the Entitlements Management private beta now supports Entitlements by Resource. This allows you to determine which principals have access to a specific resource. From there you can dive in and understand the entitlements for that principal. For AWS resources, you will now see cloud entitlements when searching for resources in Explore, when looking at the findings for a specific resource, or when browsing asset inventory.
If you're registered for the beta, this new capability has already been enabled for you. If you're interested in joining the beta, please request access here.
