Demystifying Cybersecurity: going back to basics

Executives, board members and security professionals who are tasked with enterprise risk management are constantly bombarded nowadays with cybersecurity news concerning new forms of attack perpetrated by both novice and sophisticated assailants, from state sponsored cyber criminals to malcontent employees. These criminals are exploiting vulnerabilities in Information Technology (IT) systems and networks that were not designed to withstand this constant and repeated probing.

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.
