Abstract
In a cloud computing environment, a cross-tenant access security measure monitors conditional access policies for changes or additions that hamper or threaten an authorized access from an assistant tenant user to a focus tenant. Some cross-tenant access security tracks role assignments to detect rogue roles, or detect hampering role changes. In some cases, focus tenant events and assistant tenant events are correlated in an audit. In some cases, the authorized access is a zero standing time bound access. In some cases, the authorized access is constrained to an IP address range, or constrained to login from a managed device, or both. In some cases, assets are excluded from managed response remediation actions. In some, managed response is modulated by product-specific Role Based Access Control. In some, repeated logins are avoided, to permit faster managed responses.
