I would like to also add: A system to lower privileges based on last use.

Companies often have IAM/ssh/keys all over the place. If you centralize things to IAM you can lower permissions based on their last use. EG. A frontend dev needs access to GCP to configure things in firebase. This frontend developer hasn't used these IAM permissions in 3 months. This persons IAM permissions should automatically have these permissions removed.

Probably one of the easiest yet most powerful thing to implement in cloud sec ops AND probably never done.
