Today on the Official Microsoft Blog, Microsoft announced the acquisition of CloudKnox Security<\/a>, a leader in Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM). CloudKnox offers complete visibility into privileged access. It helps organizations right-size permissions and consistently enforce least-privilege principles to reduce risk, and it employs continuous analytics to help prevent security breaches and ensure compliance. The acquisition further enables Microsoft Azure Active Directory<\/a> (Azure AD) customers with granular visibility, continuous monitoring, and automated remediation for hybrid and multi-cloud permissions.<\/p>\n As the corporate network perimeter disappears, it\u2019s crucial to establish a strong cloud identity foundation through a Zero Trust<\/a> approach so you can protect business-critical systems, while improving business agility. We\u2019re committed to making it easier to enforce appropriate, tailored privileges and other identity controls across multi-cloud environments, as organizations adapt to hybrid work, new risks, and business transformation.<\/p>\n Read more on Microsoft acquires CloudKnox Security to offer unified privileged access and cloud entitlement management<\/a>.<\/p>\n To learn more about Microsoft Security solutions, visit our website<\/a>.
