How to Review Security When Staff Use a Shared Cloud Administrator Account

A shared cloud administrator login can make it difficult to attribute changes and remove access when one person leaves. It can also encourage routine work to use excessive privilege.

What to check

Identify all users and systems using the account, MFA and recovery methods, audit coverage, automated dependencies, and emergency access needs.

Recommended next step

Move staff to named role-based accounts where supported and protect any emergency credential with oversight. Informatix Systems can assess cloud identity and cybersecurity.
