Story
Inside Barclays, cloud security review used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in financials groups working out of the United Kingdom. Cloud security engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Barclays uses Identity Security from CyberArk as the working layer for cloud misconfigurations. CyberArk focuses on privileged access and identity security so organizations can control high-risk credentials and machine identities. The practical change is simple: cloud security review has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Barclays gets from CyberArk is a durable place to run cloud security review and a way for cloud security engineers to see the same cloud misconfigurations at the same time.
