Key Trends in Cloud Security for 2021
“As migration of companies to the cloud has increased post the COVID-19 crisis, the cloud will comprise about 14.2% of the total worldwide IT spending by 2024, 9.1% up from 2020.” The growth of cloud adoption and its services is showing no signs of decreasing. For the current year, 2021, it has been anticipated that […]
Protect your Privileges in the Cloud
As organizations deploy new cloud environments and services, they introduce thousands of identity-based permissions that must be securely configured and continuously managed. At the same time the number of users and applications with privileged access – including both human and machine identities – skyrockets. Additionally, the cloud environments are always changing and this combined with […]
What is CIEM?
With more and more applications hosted across the cloud service providers, the attack surfaces increase as well. This is due the increased permissions for human and machine identities to access critical cloud resources. The number of permissions can easily go as high as several millions. A major chunk of these permissions, sometimes as much as […]
Shared Security Model
Cloud security refers to the efforts of securing applications, data and infrastructure. It has become a priority owing to concerns over data exposure. A shared security model gives a framework for cloud security for sharing the security responsibilities between the cloud service provider and the user to ensure accountability. The challenge for an organization is to […]
Build Security Early in Development Stage
Most modern organizations are integrating security across the entire development lifecycle as they are realizing it’s potential. Applications are becoming collections of microservices and functions and everything is getting defined as code. Developers use a vast array of tools to build and deploy cloud native applications and operationalizing security controls that work seamlessly across these […]
The First Step in Securing your Cloud Infrastructure
Cloud Security & Visibility For businesses to capitalize on the wealth of opportunities the cloud brings, it’s therefore imperative that they have complete visibility into their entire hybrid cloud and multi-cloud infrastructure, and all the interrelationships between applications, protocols, networks and servers involved in service delivery. This will enable them to assure efficiency and optimize […]
The 4 Pillars of Cloud Security
Enterprises today work with a massive volume of sensitive data and also perform various operations with this data. The move to the cloud has changed all aspects of the application development lifecycle – security being foremost among them. Security and DevOps teams face a growing number of entities to secure as the organization adopts cloud-native […]
Endpoint Security: XDR AI-based Automated Threat Detection & Response
As the volume and variety of endpoints grow, traditional signature-based and pre-programmed methods for security and anti-malware struggle to keep up. Not only are devices proliferating, but threat types and false positives are too — not to mention the diverse ways attacks can manifest. As organizations scramble to keep pace with both the value and risks of […]
Why SASE?
Organizations are increasing software-as-a-service use, hybrid cloud infrastructure deployments, and multi-cloud deployment and interconnectivity. Whether oriented toward end-user access to applications and services or traditional data center access to branch offices and other remote locations, the need to make traditional data centers the hub of connectivity is more of a hindrance than ever before. To […]
Replace Proxy Firewalls with Cloud Delivered Security
Proxy-based firewalls or web proxies have been considered an essential security component for some time now, but the question remains: Can proxies really help keep users safe?The first proxy-based firewalls achieved the basic task of controlling which websites users could access on the Internet. Since then, the technology has developed and evolved to provide additional […]
