As cloud environments scale, identities (users, service accounts, workloads, applications) accumulate excessive, unused, or risky permissions, increasing the attack surface. CIEM solutions help organizations achieve least privilege, prevent privilege misuse, and maintain visibility into permissions across multi-cloud environments. Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management(CIEM) focuses on analyzing, governing, and securing identity permissions across cloud platforms.
The CIEM tool in Saner Cloud provides end-to-end multi-cloud entitlement visibility. This helps administrators to detect risky permissions, investigate roles deeply, and take targeted remediation actions across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
How CIEM Applies to Your Cloud Tools?
Saner’s Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management tool uses:
1. AWS APIs and logs (IAM, STS, CloudTrail, Access Analyzer) to:
- Inventory identities and roles
- Map real vs. granted permissions
- Highlight unused/overly broad IAM permissions
- Provide recommended remediation (for example, remove unused roles, restrict wildcards)

AWS Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management(CIEM) Userguide
2. Azure Graphs or Entra APIs to:
- Discover all identity assignments across subscription, resource group, and resource levels
- Map effective permissions
- Identify excessive, dormant, or unused role assignments
- Recommend remediation (remove/modify RBAC or Entra permissions)

3. Google Cloud Platform projects, folders, and organizations that include:
- Service account key risks
- IAM users, groups, and service accounts
- Role bindings
- Custom and predefined role permissions
