Scalable, cloud-native cyber assurance
A security-first perspective means that cloud security is never bolted on. Our comprehensive cloud security services harden and defend systems and data, identity and access—and provide continuous, automated security monitoring throughout the technology stack. We make it easy to integrate security with advanced management solutions so your team can focus less on infrastructure and more on your mission.
Common Challenges
Many organizations can’t delineate where cloud service provider responsibilities end and their own responsibilities begin, opening them to numerous vulnerabilities. The increased expansiveness of the cloud also increases an organization’s potential attack surface.
Misconfigurations
When assets are set up incorrectly, they are vulnerable to attack. In addition to insecure storage, excessive permissions and the use of default credentials are two other major sources of vulnerabilities.
Lack of cloud security architecture
Too many organizations jump into the cloud without the proper architecture and strategy in place. Prior to making the leap to the cloud, organisations must understand the threats they are exposed to, how to migrate to the cloud securely
Data breaches
A responsibility of both CSPs and their customers, data breaches remained the top cloud security threat. A number of data breaches have been attributed to the cloud over the past years.
Limited cloud usage visibility
Cloud visibility has long been a concern of enterprise admins. Limited visibility results in two key challenges, a) Unsanctioned app use (shadow IT) and b) Sanctioned app misuse is when apps approved by IT are not used as intended.
Insufficient identity, credential, access and key management
A majority of cloud security threats and cybersecurity threats in general can be linked to identity and access management (IAM) issues.
Account hijacking
Cloud account hijacking is the disclosure, accidental leakage, exposure or other compromise of a cloud account that is critical to the operation, administration or maintenance of a cloud environment.
Insecure interfaces and APIs
CSP UIs and APIs through which customers interact with cloud services are some of the most exposed components of a cloud environment.
Weak control plane
A the cloud control plane is the collection of cloud administrative consoles and interfaces used by an organization. Improperly secured, a breached control plane could cause data loss, regulatory fines and other consequences, as well as a tarnished brand reputation.
Abuse and nefarious use of cloud services
Nefarious use of legitimate SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings affects individuals, cloud customers and CSPs alike. Disguised as coming from a CSP, customers are especially vulnerable to the misuse of cloud services.
