Managed Access🔒

The first of these big new features is the concept of Managed Access. For the first time in Ploy, you can now apply temporary access controls to a resource in its entirety. This means that for a given resource:

• every identity can automatically have temporary access controls applied

• this is true irrespective of whether their access has been granted through Ploy or not

• this can be retroactively applied to identities with existing access, and it can be configured in bulk

Once access is configured for a resource, it will then appear in your Managed Access page.

The best part of all of this? You can manage access to a resource in as little as 5 clicks - and bulk manage resources in as little as 6!

Access Graph🕵️

Our second big new feature this month is the introduction of an Access Graph. This provides an all-new way for you to visualise access and better understand your high-risk attack paths. Some ways our early-adopters have been using this are:

• Discovering & severing anomalous access to Google/Microsoft Groups

• Visualising every identity that has access to a production database

• Visualising attack paths for resources tagged as 'sensitive'

We've also embedded the Access Graph into the Resources page so that upon clicking into a Resource, you'll be able to easily visualise who has access.

Note: The Access Graph is still in Beta so please reach out to a member of the team if you want early-access.

Navigation

Because of these new features, we've also re-designed the platform layout:

• Access Hub: This is where all our access management features are now housed, and where we think you'll spend most of your time!

• Inventory: This is where you'll be able to see the full list of Resources, Apps, Employees or Identities.

• Automate: This new section is where you can find Flows, Tasks & Surveys.

• Settings: Finally, we've added a Settings section at the bottom and included the Integrations page there.

Spreadsheet UI

You'll now notice many of our pages have a more spreadsheet-like UI. This should hopefully improve the user experience by allowing you to:

• edit rows directly from the page

• add tags to resources

• visualise more rows per page

• view the page totals

Quick wins 📜

On top of the big stuff, we also released some smaller features (yes, there's less of these than usual, but we'll be making up for it in December!):

• Access reviews: Streamlined the page to make it more intuitive

• Catalogs: Added a back button when creating a new Access Catalog

• Offboarding Flow: Added the ability to create an offboarding from a manual trigger

• Fixed a bunch of typos and other niggling issues throughout the platform
