THE CHALLENGES
Now that the technology landscape is undergoing a transformation, cloud computing is inevitable. Fintech firms or traditional banks that have adopted digital transformation will influence the future of financial services or manufacturing companies adopting the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
We live in a cloud-based world. The Boards of companies are now confronting CIOs to have more speed in adopting cloud technology. Companies once refrained from adopting the cloud because of data ownership and security concerns.
CYBANATICS can help you design and implement security measures that improve your users’ interaction with critical cloud services.
While CISOs strive to help businesses adopt cloud services, there are several security challenges to overcome:
- Ensure that companies adopt cloud computing in a controlled manner without making the CISO the barrier for transformation of technology
- Make sure the contract between the cloud service provider and your company complies with all laws and regulations
- Assuring the transfer of data securely between the on-premises and cloud infrastructure
- Assuring that public and private clouds are connected securely
- Assuring that cloud service providers are subject to adequate governance and oversight
- AWS and Azure’s security features must be understood and implemented in a proper manner
- Integrating identities across complex environments
- Assessing hybrid environments for vulnerabilities and assets
- Understanding and addressing the challenges of DevOps
- In a cloud computing environment, ensuring that the security posture of an organization matches or exceeds what can be achieved on-premises
METHODOLOGY
In order to meet these challenges, we offer the following methodology for cloud security that ensures security does not become a bottleneck for business:
Conduct an Assessment
- Analyze the current state of the organization’s computing infrastructure
- Getting to know the digital transformation roadmap
- Assess the extent of Shadow IT within your organization by using tools and interviews
- Knowledge of regulations that affect compliance and security
Be Transformed
- The policy must spell out how the business will adopt the cloud
- Promote the cloud computing policy by emphasizing its risks and benefits
- Build a framework for assessing the risk of different cloud computing models (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS)
- Develop secure data transferring, secure cloud connectivity, and secure access solutions to the cloud
- Monitor cloud environments for security and continuously audit them
Ensure Sustainability
Implement managed security services that address the ongoing security requirements for cloud computing environment.
- Vulnerability assessments are conducted periodically
- Round the clock monitoring and incidents response
- Applications security by implementing DevSecOps
Define and implement cloud security measurements
APPROACH
CYBANATICS Cloud security assessment considers overall security best practices with measures that are specific to your organization’s cloud architecture. As per best practices our experts will examine several key areas, including but not limited to, the following:
- Internal and External network access control
- User management and authentication
- Multifactor authentication for remote access
- Backup and disaster recovery
- Security event logging, correlation and alerting
- Incident response planning
TESTING FOR VULNERABILITIES IN CLOUD SERVICES
- Penetration testing and vulnerability scans can provide the information you need to measure the effectiveness of your cloud security defenses.
- Increasing numbers of remote workers and the hasty adoption of cloud services to support work-from-home scenarios have led to an expanded attack surface for criminals — one that is much more vulnerable than the one at the office.
- In addition to utilizing a wide range of assessment tools, CYBANATICS experts are experienced in manually attacking cloud services in order to uncover weaknesses.
- We bring certified penetration testing experts with extensive experience in incident response alongside the methods, tactics, and techniques (TTPs) typically used to compromise cloud systems.
