Security for Cloud-Native Companies
The ability of cloud-first companies to scale rapidly is a major business advantage, but with this flexibility comes increased risk to applications and data. Governing access entitlements is essential for protecting cloud infrastructure; yet in complex IaaS/PaaS environments, permission creep is the norm. Learn how Ermetic can help you achieve least privilege and close the backdoors to your environment.
Today, more and more services and applications are born in the cloud. Cloud-first companies benefit from higher performance, efficiency and stability, with unparalleled scalability. But too often security is sacrificed in the interest of speed.
According to Gartner, 50% of cloud security failures are the result of inadequate management of identities, access and privileges – and by 2023, that number will climb to 75%. For anyone familiar with IaaS/PaaS environments, the reasons are clear. With thousands of human and machine identities, compute and data resources, and hundreds of different policies, it is extremely difficult to identify and remove excessive permissions. At the same time, the speed and agility of development mean that the Privilege Gap is constantly widening.
Ermetic is our #1 monitoring tool for showing the security state of our production version and ensuring that a change to a service doesn’t create risk.

Cloud Security and Compliance in One Platform
Ermetic automates entitlement management for public cloud applications. It provides a complete picture of the assets in your environment, visualizes entitlements, and surfaces risks. With Ermetic, you can continuously identify and analyze excess permissions, and automate implementation of least-privilege policies, in accordance with your organizational practices.
“If we didn’t have Ermetic analyzing roles, policies and network configuration, that would easily be an additional three to four analysts. It’s saving us hours and head count.”
Michael BishopDir. Architecture and Engineering, BarkBox
“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.
