This report warns that weak Identity and Access Management (IAM) in cloud environments can enable attackers to bypass other protections; it includes an Azure assessment example where abused managed identities altered Key Vault firewall rules to expose and dump secrets, and it lists common IAM failures and practical mitigations such as least privilege, short-lived credentials, strong MFA, logging, and just-in-time access.
