Making Identity the Control Plane of Cloud Security with Cortex Cloud

Cloud risk has become identity risk.

Every interaction across workloads, data, applications, and services is mediated through identity. Human users, service accounts, API keys, tokens, and AI agents now determine what can be accessed, changed, or exploited across modern cloud environments. Yet most organizations still struggle to understand what identities can actually do once roles, policies, permissions, and cross-account relationships are evaluated together.

This visibility gap creates real exposure. Identity weaknesses are involved in 90% of Unit 42 investigations, and 99% of cloud identities have excessive permissions. As AI and automation accelerate cloud operations, the challenge is expanding even faster, with non-human identities now vastly outnumbering human identities across enterprise environments.

Join this virtual event to learn how Cortex Cloud CIEM helps teams make identity the control plane for cloud security by uncovering effective permissions, prioritizing exploitable risk, and safely enforcing least privilege at scale.

You’ll learn how to:

• Understand your true identity risk: Learn why assigned permissions only tell part of the story, and why effective permissions are critical to understanding what identities can actually do across cloud environments.

• Prioritize and reduce exploitable access: Discover how Cortex Cloud CIEM connects identity context with sensitive data, critical resources, and lateral movement paths to help teams focus on the risks that matter most. 

• Govern identities with an industry leader: Learn how Cortex Cloud, named a Leader and Outperformer in the 2026 GigaOm Radar for CIEM, helps teams govern human, non-human, and AI-driven identities, reduce overprivileged access, and enforce least privilege at scale.

Take control of your cloud identities. Build a more scalable identity security strategy with Cortex Cloud.
