Overcoming Access Sprawl: Redirecting engineering resources back to the business

Overcoming Access Sprawl: Redirecting engineering resources back to the business

Consolidate access controls before patchwork fixes become your biggest liability.

Cloud-first teams build access controls one at a time, solving whatever problem is in front of them right now. Over time, that becomes a patchwork of bastion hosts, SSH keys, database credentials and manual onboarding processes that nobody designed on purpose but everyone must maintain.

This eBook breaks down what a patchwork approach actually costs your engineering team and shows platform and infrastructure leaders how an identity-based access platform can bring it all under one roof.

This Overcoming Access Sprawl eBook provides:

  • A breakdown of the five access control mechanisms cloud teams build in-house, from bastion hosts to onboarding and offboarding.
  • Insight into how credential sprawl creates security, operational and compliance gaps.
  • Data on how credential abuse contributes to breaches, drawn from Verizon's 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report. A side-by-side look at what it costs to build your own access control system versus buying an off-the-shelf platform.
