Posture Management

Cloud security posture management

What is it?

Cloud security posture management validates your configuration in cloud environments (usually public clouds), it includes but not limited to:

Auditing and monitoring of cloud infrastructure
Real-time threat activity monitoring
Flag misconfigured settings, e.g., exposed assets, unencrypted data at rest, overpermissive privileges, unexisting 2FA, untested DR policies.
Enable remediation via automation and on demand processes

Variety of infrastructure assets makes it difficult to put together a comprehensive strategy
Setups usually span multiple regions, vendors, services increasing difficulty to manage
Mature services might have a a large number of configuration options
Operations via multiple stakeholders with competing priorities, e.g., Devs, Sec team, infra team.
Fluid environments with regards to infrastructure, versions, setup, operators
Compliance, regulations, standards etc.

Build into compliance requirements, visibility across multiple clouds to aggregate security in a single dashboard
Shift left in security by evaluating infrastrucutrue using scanners, automated report features, validators, authorizations, and infrastructure as code (i.e., configuration drift, compliance)
Monitoring events that might impact security such as configuration changes, API calls– and implement secure default rules
Use third party reports and checks across all infrastructure: CIS Benchmarks, HIPPA, PCI, NIST, AWS Well-Architected Framework, etc.
Combine auto remediation and manual fixes that stay consistent and are timely applied
Leverage external tools that can be integrated and updated across providers, tools, authentication methods via API, SDK, Plugins, etc.
