1. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for providing authentication credential data to cloud-based assets on demand, the operations comprising:

  • receiving a prompt indicating that a cloud-based asset is seeking to communicate with an access-controlled resource, wherein the cloud-based asset lacks authorization to communicate with the access-controlled resource;

    extracting information associated with the cloud-based asset by, at least in part, accessing a trusted cloud platform resource storing data associated with verified cloud-based assets, the trusted cloud platform resource being separate from the cloud-based asset and being configured to analyze information associated with a creation of the cloud-based asset;

    authenticating the cloud-based asset based on the extracted information;

    making first authentication credential data available to the cloud-based asset in response to a first request;

    authenticating the cloud-based asset based on the first authentication credential data;

    making second authentication credential data available to the cloud-based asset, in response to a second request; and

    concatenating the first authentication credential data and the second authentication credential data;

    wherein the cloud-based asset'"'"'s right to access the access-controlled resource is contingent on the cloud-based asset providing the first and second authentication credential data, on the first and second authentication credential data being concatenated, and on a verification of the concatenated first and second authentication credential data.
