Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management Market Dynamics

Driver: Need for proper management of identities, access, and privileges

Modern enterprises continue to migrate to the cloud by shifting most of the core operations. It includes processes and associated workloads, applications, and data across platforms from cloud service providers. Organizations are adopting CIEM solutions as it effectively manages access rights and privileges for the identities of a single or multi-cloud environment. CIEM helps identify and avoid risks resulting from privileges and their management. CIEM solutions have different approaches for an issue to ensure the identities' actions are as expected. The CIEM approach is also based on the principle of least privilege (POLP) to manage identities' private and public cloud permissions. With this approach, CIEM minimizes and mitigates risks of excessive privilege. The risks could be cloud leaks, data breaches, or insider threats. CIEM solutions can grant, resolve, enforces, or revokes the access rights or privileges of all the identities.

Restraint: Limited technical skilled expertise to implement CIEM

There are certain limitations regarding the actual usage of CIEM solutions. Also, CIEM is a moderately new market in cloud security, and the technology is mature enough. For implementing, processing, analyzing, and securing cloud solutions, the experts or the staff must have the required technical skills and knowledge. Organizations hiring security professionals lack the right skills to analyze and identify advanced security gaps while implementing and managing operations. The 2022 Application Security Report from Fortinet and Cybersecurity Insiders found that due to a lack of skilled personnel across the globe, 80% of organizations suffered one or more breaches that they could attribute to a lack of cybersecurity skills and awareness. This is a significant problem across the security industry.

Opportunity: Use of advanced technology to suggest the implementation of the least privileges for a specific type of task

Organizations are increasingly adopting CIEM solutions as it allows them to leverage advanced techniques, such as ML, to recommend least privileges for a particular work. End users can handle enormous amounts of entitlement data with AI and ML-powered analytics. Businesses can quickly spot excessive high-risk permissions and examine cloud identity setups by using a risk-based view of human and nonhuman identities. To find abnormalities in account entitlements, such as privilege accumulation and inactive and unnecessary entitlements, CIEM uses analytics, machine learning (ML), and other technologies. CIEM provides the ideal implementation of least privilege approaches. Therefore, leveraging advanced techniques such as ML to recommend the least privileges is an opportunity for the growth of the CIEM market.

Challenge: High initial investment

Investments in cloud security solutions are elevated right now. CIEM is a moderately new market in cloud security, and the technology is not developed. The solutions are built to target specific gaps in product managing access and identity governance. Still, due to its advantages, CIEM solutions are a significant investment as enterprises onboard the solution. CIEM solutions are built for complex cloud environments. At the same time, it would require the proper support for implementing the solution. Though, with CIEM solutions, the efficiency of enterprises has increased, the initial investments for CIEM are high for the organizations, limiting the prospects of this market.
