The application for the patent was published on June 27, under issue no. 26/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Recently, misconfigurations in cloud services have led to major security incidents and large-scale data breaches. Due to the dynamic and complex nature of cloud environments, misconfiguration of access policies can be easily introduced and often go undetected for a long period of time. Therefore, it is critical to identify any potential misconfigurations before they can be abused. Conventionally, no system is available that is adaptable to multiple cloud vendors, which is proactive and preventive in discovering access policy misconfiguration. The present disclosure provides a method and system to address the critical problem of identifying access misconfigurations and anomalous bindings within Identity Access Management (IAM) policies in cloud environments. Specifically, the present disclosure focuses on the problem of access policy misconfiguration and anomalous bindings within IAM policies. These misconfigurations can lead to unauthorized access, security breaches, and compliance violations which pose substantial risks to businesses operating in the cloud."
