Strategies for cleaning up stale IAM roles in multi-cloud environments?
We recently ran an audit and realized that nearly half of our assigned IAM permissions haven't been exercised in months. Developers leave behind test roles, and temporary integrations retain full access indefinitely. What's the best way to detect unused credentials and revoke them without breaking active pipelines?

Permission creep happens naturally as engineering teams scale and iterate quickly. Using a specialized https://teriam.io/cloud-unused-access-detection/ platform allows you to monitor actual permission usage over time. It performs thorough cloud unused access detection, simplifies automated unused access detection, and flags unused permissions across human and machine accounts so you can enforce least privilege safely.
