Secure Google Cloud Identities with Upwind’s Human Identity Management

Upwind’s support for Human Identity Management in Google Cloud gives you the ability to easily surface, understand and fix risky misconfigurations including over-privileged or excessive permissions, ensuring a more secure Google Cloud environment.

Managing human identities in the cloud can be incredibly challenging for organizations, especially when they use multiple cloud providers or different identity providers (IdPs). Upwind solves this by providing comprehensive human identity security for Google Cloud, giving deep visibility of all human users including IAM users and IdP users.
