Multi-cloud coverage

Purpose-built for every cloud platform

84% of cloud breaches trace back to over-privileged standing credentials. Cloud PAM closes that gap natively — across every provider your team runs.

Zero standing IAM privileges, enforced at scale

AWS IAM roles and access keys are permanent by default — the most common initial access vector in cloud breaches. Cloud PAM replaces them with JIT-scoped STS sessions that auto-revoke when the window closes.

  • JIT AssumeRole — scoped STS sessions provisioned on-demand, auto-revoked on expiry
  • EC2 instance profile governance — detect and right-size over-privileged profiles
  • Secrets Manager integration — automated key rotation, zero hardcoded credentials
  • CloudTrail risk scoring — every API call analysed against behavioural baseline
  • EKS pod identity — fine-grained IRSA governance across all clusters

Entra ID & PIM governance beyond what Azure offers natively

Azure PIM handles time-bound roles but leaves service principals and Managed Identities ungoverned. Cloud PAM layers AI risk scoring, lifecycle governance, and automated remediation across all Azure identity types.

  • Entra ID JIT roles — AI-risk-scored PIM activation with behavioural baseline
  • Service principal lifecycle — detect over-privileged principals and rotate secrets automatically
  • Managed Identity governance — scope and revoke MI permissions per workload lifecycle
  • Key Vault integration — centralised secret management with automated expiry enforcement
  • AKS Workload Identity — granular namespace access control with session recording

Service accounts & Workload Identity, governed end-to-end

GCP service accounts silently accumulate Editor and Owner roles during development. Cloud PAM enforces least-privilege Workload Identity bindings, governs service account keys, and delivers JIT GCP console access with a full tamper-proof audit trail.

  • Workload Identity governance — enforce least-privilege bindings, detect scope creep
  • Service account key control — block creation, enforce expiry, auto-rotate
  • JIT gcloud CLI access — short-lived impersonation tokens for production environments
  • GCP Audit Log analysis — per-identity risk scoring from Data Access logs
  • Secret Manager — dynamic secrets with per-project access controls and audit trail

RBAC governance across EKS, AKS, and GKE at cluster scale

Kubernetes service accounts accumulate cluster-admin bindings that are rarely reviewed. Cloud PAM maps every RBAC binding across all your managed clusters, enforces JIT namespace access, and monitors service accounts for privilege escalation in real time.

  • ClusterRoleBinding discovery — map and risk-rank all bindings across all clusters
  • JIT kubectl access — production namespace access with full session recording
  • Privilege escalation detection — real-time alerts when service accounts exceed baseline
  • Pod security context enforcement — admission webhook blocks over-privileged pod specs
  • EKS / AKS / GKE native — IRSA, Workload Identity, and GKE WI Federation all covered

Core capabilities

Everything you need to eliminate standing cloud privileges

Zero Standing Privileges

Just-in-Time Cloud Access

Ephemeral, scoped credentials provisioned the moment access is requested — AWS STS sessions, Azure Entra ID time-bound roles, GCP IAM bindings — and automatically revoked the moment the session ends. No IAM entity ever holds standing administrative access.

Auto-Rotation

Secrets & Credential Vault

Cloud-native encrypted vault for API keys, SSH keys, and service account credentials. Applications retrieve secrets at runtime — never stored in source code. Automated rotation on every cloud secret store.

98%

Threat Detection Rate

AI behavioral baseline per identity — risk score updated on every cloud API event. Anomalies auto-terminate the session and fire your SIEM.

Kubernetes RBAC Governance

JIT kubectl access to production namespaces across EKS, AKS, and GKE. Continuous ClusterRoleBinding mapping with real-time privilege escalation alerts.

Compliance & Audit Ready

Immutable session recordings and per-event audit logs for SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and HIPAA. One-click evidence packs for auditors — zero manual work.

Serverless & NHI

Serverless & Non-Human Identity Control

Least-privilege execution roles enforced per Lambda, Azure Function, and Cloud Run invocation. Service accounts, CI/CD tokens, and workload identities governed centrally — automated scope reduction and expiry enforcement across your entire cloud estate.

Integrations

SIEM, SOAR & IDP Native Integrations

Native connectors for Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, QRadar, and Elastic — zero-ETL event streaming. SOAR playbook triggers for fully automated incident response. Plugs into Okta, Azure AD, and Ping Identity for unified identity governance across on-premises and cloud environments.

How it fits your stack

One platform. Every cloud layer.

SWOT Cloud PAM sits between your identity providers and your cloud platforms — governing every privileged request without agents on cloud workloads.

Non-Human Identity (NHI) Management

Machine identities now outnumber human ones 45:1.

CI/CD pipeline tokens, Lambda execution roles, Kubernetes service accounts, Terraform automation identities — these non-human identities accumulate silently across your cloud estate, many never deprovisioned when the workload ends. SWOT Cloud PAM automatically discovers, governs, and rotates every machine credential across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Orphaned service accounts with Editor-level permissions are a leading lateral movement vector. SWOT Cloud PAM flags them within 24 hours and provides one-click remediation workflows for your platform team.

AWS IAM Access Keys

Discovers all long-lived IAM access keys, enforces rotation policies, and replaces them with short-lived STS credentials for every workload.

Kubernetes Service Accounts

Maps all service accounts across EKS, AKS, and GKE. Over-privileged ClusterRoleBindings are flagged for immediate remediation.

CI/CD Pipeline Tokens

GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Azure DevOps pipeline secrets governed centrally — with automatic rotation and scope-limited access per pipeline stage.

Lambda & Function Execution Roles

Per-function IAM role scoping enforced. Decommissioned functions have execution roles revoked automatically within 24 hours.

Azure Managed Identities

System-assigned and user-assigned Managed Identities tracked across all subscriptions. Unused identities flagged for review with remediation guidance.

GCP Service Accounts

All GCP service account keys inventoried and continuously monitored. Key creation events trigger immediate policy evaluation against least-privilege baselines.

Where it's deployed

Built for the hardest cloud security problems

Multi-Cloud Unified Governance Across Three Cloud Platforms

Enterprise teams running workloads on AWS, Azure, and GCP simultaneously face fragmented IAM models and no unified visibility across providers. SWOT Cloud PAM provides a single console for JIT access requests, policy enforcement, session recording, and compliance reporting — regardless of which cloud the resource lives in. Engineers use the same approval workflow whether they're accessing an AWS RDS instance, an Azure SQL server, or a GCP Cloud SQL database.

DevSecOps Securing Cloud Access in CI/CD Pipelines

Modern CI/CD pipelines require cloud credentials to deploy infrastructure, push container images, and access production secrets. These credentials are often hardcoded in pipeline YAML files or stored as long-lived environment variables. SWOT Cloud PAM integrates directly with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Azure DevOps to provision short-lived, scoped cloud credentials per pipeline run — automatically revoked when the pipeline completes. No secret ever leaves the vault or appears in pipeline logs.

Compliance Cloud-Native Audit Trails for PCI DSS and SOC 2

PCI DSS 4.0 Requirement 7 mandates that access to system components touching cardholder data must be restricted by business need. In cloud environments, this means every IAM role assignment touching PCI-scope systems must be time-limited, approved, and audited. SWOT Cloud PAM automates this — every JIT session is recorded with full metadata, approval chain, and accessed resources. Compliance evidence for PCI DSS, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and HIPAA is generated on demand from a tamper-proof audit store independent of cloud provider native logs.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions About SWOT Cloud PAM

SWOT Cloud PAM is a cloud-native Privileged Access Management platform purpose-built for AWS, Azure, and GCP. It delivers just-in-time access with ephemeral credentials, Kubernetes RBAC governance, secrets management, non-human identity lifecycle, and AI behavioral analytics — from a single console with no cloud-side agents. It covers human users, CI/CD pipelines, serverless functions, and Kubernetes workloads in a unified policy framework.
Users or pipelines request elevated cloud access through an approval workflow. SWOT Cloud PAM evaluates the request against behavioral baseline and policy, then provisions a scoped, time-limited credential directly with the cloud provider — an AWS STS AssumeRole session, an Azure Entra ID time-bound role via PIM, or a GCP IAM binding with conditional expiry. When the session ends or the time window closes, the credential is automatically revoked at the IAM level — leaving zero residual access in the cloud tenant.
No. SWOT Cloud PAM is agentless for core JIT access, behavioral analytics, and compliance reporting — it operates through cloud provider APIs (AWS CloudTrail, Azure Activity Log, GCP Audit Logs) and IAM API calls. An optional lightweight proxy is available for inline session recording of SSH and RDP sessions to cloud VMs, but is not required for IAM governance, Kubernetes RBAC management, or serverless function coverage.
SWOT Cloud PAM continuously discovers all machine identities across your cloud estate — AWS IAM access keys, GCP service account keys, Azure Managed Identities, Kubernetes service accounts, Lambda execution roles, and CI/CD pipeline tokens. Each identity is risk-ranked by permissions, last-used date, and whether the associated workload is still active. Orphaned credentials are flagged within 24 hours and automated rotation schedules can be applied centrally.
SWOT Cloud PAM generates on-demand compliance evidence for PCI DSS 4.0 (Requirements 7, 8, 10), ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II (CC6 logical access controls), HIPAA §164.312(a)(1), CIS Cloud Benchmarks for AWS, Azure and GCP, and NIST CSF 2.0. All evidence is stored in a tamper-proof audit store independent of the monitored cloud provider's native logging — a compromised cloud admin cannot alter or delete the compliance record.
