Dashboard redesign
The CEM dashboard has been redesigned for better usability and enhanced visibility into the excessive permissions and privileged access gaps and critical issues found in customers' multi-cloud environments.
The new, enhanced dashboard clearly highlights high-severity issues that should be investigated and remediated, such as identities with high exposure levels and identities that have shadow admin access. Users can drill through directly from the dashboard to begin investigating affected identities and mitigate risk.

Privilege Cloud-Cloud Entitlements Manager integration expanded to Shared Services
Privilege Cloud customers who have migrated their Privileged Access Manager capabilities to Shared Services in order to secure and protect privileged break-glass and sensitive accounts (for example, AWS IAM users), may want to leverage this new deployment and integrate with Cloud Entitlements Manager to discover and identify cloud identities with administrator privileges and manage them in Privilege Cloud.
The integration between Privilege Cloud and Cloud Entitlements Manager has been streamlined, and is now enabled by default, without any additional configuration required, when both Privilege Cloud and Cloud Entitlements Manager are on the Shared Services platform.

Enhanced integration with Privilege Cloud - support for manually uploading cloud entities

Support for serverless cloud functions
CEM has extended its ability to manage the risk of excessive permissions, enabling organizations to implement least privilege access across human and machine identities in the cloud, and now serverless functions. CEM's newest feature analyzes code and fine tunes permissions to reduce the risk of excessive privileges, which positions security teams to better partner with developers and the software development lifecycle. With processes in place to implement least privilege for new and existing serverless applications, organizations can securely expand the deployment and unlock the operational efficiencies of cloud-native applications.
