Comprehensive Cloud Security for DevSecOps
As a DevOps pro, you’re at the center of cloud security – from data to applications and code. With new code being continuously pushed, you are responsible for maintaining and improving quality; however, with speed comes considerable risk. Cloud misconfigurations remain the number one cause of data breaches, and a simple misconfiguration can quickly escalate into a security and compliance nightmare.
Ermetic enables you to continuously identify and monitor complex relationships between identities and data to accurately highlight toxic combinations.
In any CI/CD model, security should be a top priority, and DevSecOps hold the keys to proactively govern cloud environments. But how do you bring security into the software development life cycle earlier? DevSecOps need a handle on security from the very first step, to make sure that code and infrastructure are airtight and safe to deploy.
We’re using Ermetic to strategically push least privilege as far left as we can. [Its] automation is helping reduce errors and inter team dependencies.

Automate Least Privilege
Ermetic automates entitlements management for cloud applications and enforces least privilege access at scale in some of the most complex cloud environments. It helps DevSecOps overcome cloud security challenges and confidently shift left on security practices.
Whether you are working in AWS, GCP or Azure, the Ermetic platform ensures that development, integration and delivery of your applications stays secure and on time.
Secure Your Public Cloud with Just-in-Time (JIT) Access
Your engineering teams occasionally need direct, highly privileged access to your sensitive cloud environments for specific activities, such as debugging or manual deployment of a service. Such all-encompassing entitlements can introduce significant risk if not revoked when no longer needed. Ermetic provides a Just-in-Time (JIT) self-service portal for facilitating and controlling access requests to your cloud environments, and that minimizes the risk of long-standing privileges.
Using Ermetic’s JIT capability you can:
Minimize your cloud attack surface by enforcing fine-grained least privilege policies and avoiding use of long-standing privileges
Save engineering teams time by enabling them to quickly submit a request, notify approvers and gain temporary access
Monitor user activity during elevated sessions and generate reports for all JIT access requests and authorizations
Ermetic allows organizations to shift-left by defining and enforcing automated guardrails for cloud identities, resources and network configuration. With Ermetic, teams can remediate detected risks via auto-generated least privilege access policies sent through standard workflows, including ticketing systems, CI/CD pipelines and CloudFormation and Terraform snippets – all to reduce the cloud attack surface and blast radius in case of a breach.
Automatic provisioning of identities and entitlements
Facilitate workflows integrations with customizable policy templates
Define Just-in-Time access for developers and DevOps

“This is one of the few platforms I’ve brought into the cloud that has had actionable efforts in under 30 days. From a return on investment perspective, it was one of the best decisions we made.”
Roman BorodyanskyV.P. Corporate Cloud Services, Tyler Technologies
“With Ermetic, Tyler’s been able to save hundreds to thousands of man hours in managing permission sets in AWS.”

“The biggest benefit of working with Ermetic, it’s the discoverability component of Ermetic. It really lifts the veil on what is an opaque system.

“Ermetic has allowed us to concentrate on our business rather than on concentrate just on the cloud security.”
