Ransomware and Phishing A Comprehensive Approach to Prevention and Recovery

Phishing, ransomware, and advanced persistent threats (APTs) are a serious and growing problem. The FBI estimates that ransomware alone cost businesses more than $200M in 2016— and is projected to bring in a cool billion dollars in 2017. This big money game is allowing attackers to invest significant sums to develop even more sophisticated attacks. IT administrators and CISOs urgently need to put in place advanced, comprehensive security solutions that are engineered for the cloud era and defend against the most sophisticated new threats.

Guide to Cloud Security Posture Management Tools

whitePaper | June 16, 2023

Good cloud security hygiene starts with complete visibility into the security and compliance posture of every resource you deploy into your cloud. It’s one thing to achieve this visibility in a single cloud environment—you can lean heavily on the native monitoring and auditing tools of your cloud provider, using third-party solutions to fill in gaps (e.g., threat detection)—but in a multi-cloud architecture, maintaining robust cloud security posture becomes exponentially more complex. It is much more difficult to achieve centralized visibility as well as consistently enforce policies and compliance rules within a multi-cloud environment. It’s also more complicated to detect threats and fix vulnerabilities quickly due to the sheer complexity of threats across distributed, multilayered architectures. You can address these challenges, though—and you need to, if you want to take advantage of multi-cloud architecture without compromising on security.
