How to Build a Security Operations Center

June 16, 2017

Whether you’re protecting a bank or the local grocery store, certain common sense security rules apply. At the very least, you need locks on entrances and exits, cash registers and vaults as well as cameras pointed at these places and others throughout the facility. The same goes for your cloud, hybrid cloud, and on-premises environments. Controlling access with tools like passwords, ACLs, firewall rules, and others aren’t quite good enough. You must be able to constantly monitor your critical infrastructure so that you can spot anomalous activity that may indicate a possible exposure.

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.

Cybersecurity has changed. The attack surface has expanded, thanks to the rapid adoption of cloud applications and services, shift to remote work, and proliferation of mobile devices.
