*Stop Letting IAM Drift Put Your Cloud at Risk—Act Proactively
*
Your IAM policy was solid at launch. But six months later, after dozens of access changes and console tweaks, it’s no longer what you think it is.

This invisible threat is known as IAM Drift—and it might be undermining your entire security posture.

How IAM Drift Slips In
In high-speed engineering cultures, IAM policies are touched constantly. Without automation and sync, even small deviations build up, unnoticed.

The main culprits:

Manual Console Changes
Temporary fixes made in production environments don’t make it back to Terraform or IaC templates.

Overlooked Access Rights
Staff turnover, role transitions, or forgotten test credentials leave sensitive pathways wide open.

Policy Creep
As roles evolve and permissions accumulate, your least privilege assumptions quietly erode.

The Real-World Cost of IAM Drift
These changes won’t trigger a critical alert—but they’re just as dangerous:

Untracked access to critical infrastructure

Audit non-compliance during governance reviews

Elevated MTTR from troubleshooting permission-based outages

Cloushot Detects Drift Before It Explodes
Cloushot runs continuous IAM baseline checks across your cloud environments. It doesn’t wait for your next deployment—it flags the second your live state diverges.

IAM Baseline Comparison Engine
Understand what changed, when, and why—in real time.

Role-View Dashboards
See permission anomalies by team, cloud, and project.

IaC Drift Reconciliation
Automatically sync manual edits back to Terraform or IaC repositories.
