The second patent, “Method and system to detect a discrepancy in infrastructure security configurations from translated security best practice configurations in heterogeneous environments,” relates to the Anomaly Detection capability in the CloudKnox platform and leveraging activity-based authorization for security and compliance controls.
The patents come on the heels of a $12M round of funding and accelerating go-to-market momentum. The company realized triple-digit year-over-year growth in Q1 2020 fueled by rising demand from enterprise organizations looking to proactively measure and mitigate the greatest risk from operating in the cloud – machine and human identities with excessive permissions.
“These patents protect our unique lifecycle approach to managing identity permissions that combines dynamic activity and contextual-based authorization,” said Balaji Parimi, CEO and founder of CloudKnox Security. “Giving enterprises granular visibility into every action that every identity is performing on every resource is the only way to successfully implement the Principle of Least Privilege in the cloud. I’m proud of the innovation we continue to drive through the CloudKnox platform.”
