Case Study: Horsley Bridge Partners achieves least-privilege AWS security with CloudKnox Security

Horsley Bridge Partners - Customer Case Study

Horsley Bridge Partners, a San Francisco-based principal investment firm, needed better visibility into cloud identity risk across its AWS environment. The company wanted a way to establish a least-privilege baseline, identify unused high-risk permissions over 90 days, manage contractor and service account access, and simplify CIS compliance reporting without relying on consultants or complex custom scripts. To address this, it turned to CloudKnox Security Inc and its identity privilege management platform.

CloudKnox Security Inc implemented its CloudKnox Security Platform to provide activity-based authorization, deep visibility into identity actions, and one-click right-sizing of AWS roles and policies. Within weeks, Horsley Bridge Partners significantly reduced machine and human identities with access to critical AWS resources, enforced least-privilege policies across contractors and service accounts, tracked risk with the Privilege Creep Index, and showed auditors CIS compliance in minutes.
