Abstract
Techniques include identifying permission polices corresponding to a plurality of identities in a network environment, the permission polices specifying what types of actions the plurality of identities are permitted to take with respect to particular network resources; analyzing information describing activity associated with a first identity from the plurality of identities in the network environment; and automatically developing, based on the analysis of the information, a least-privilege profile for the first identity, the least-privilege profile including permissions corresponding to the particular actions with respect to the particular network resources and excluding permissions that do not correspond to the particular actions with respect to the particular network resources.
