Exceptional data cloud security tips and tricks{||| today| right now| 2022| from SonraiSecurity? Complex permission chains have become a very attractive attack vector. Knowing what can access what requires a continuous, unified graph of activity, privileges, and potential access. Sonrai is purpose-built to understand every identity’s effective permissions and enforce least privilege. Sonrai’s graph will map every permission, no matter how complex, and is the only CIEM platform that achieves this. A simple “no” answer to “is my datastore public?” used to be good enough for point-in-time CSPM solutions. Today’s dynamic clouds are much more complex than that. Periodic checks don’t support modern security posture anymore. See more details at Least Privilege. Custom to your cloud: Sonrai organizes your cloud by team and workload importance, right-sizing policies for each environment and allowing you to route issues to the relevant people.
Most data protection schemes can’t see inside key vaults and databases and only report on configuration and activity related to the object. Sonrai enables cloud teams to see the full picture of what’s truly happening inside vaults and DBs in every moment. Direct, deep integration with the Secret Store itself means you always have a record of what identity changed or accessed a key and when they did it. What’s more, changes inside critical databases are also tracked to give rich intel on the use of access to inform least access policies.
Customers are taking action – according to the Forrester study, by 2023 82% of firms say they will have invested in cloud infrastructure entitlement management solutions. Customers in the study see machine learning, automation, and DevOps integration as key to addressing this complexity and we at Sonrai wholeheartedly agree. We also believe that to get the true risk picture of their public cloud, organizations require context beyond just the identities themselves, and need to connect identities with business data, overall platform risk through CSPM, and workload security. In addition to this context-based risk picture, the methods for managing the risks also need to evolve. Only through the use of intelligent workflows and automation, can security move both at the speed, and the scale of the cloud. When working in this new model, we believe that organizations can achieve a level of security in the cloud, using the cloud, that was never before possible.
Sonrai provides frameworks to check against external compliance and best practice standards (NIST, GDPR, HITRUST, etc.) and many more prebuilt groups of policies that can selectively apply to environments based on calibrated risk tolerance. Tailor your security posture management and only apply policies where they’re needed. Sonrai is the cornerstone of our public cloud security. It delivers complete visibility of platform, identity, and data risks across AWS and Azure.
In addition to our own agentless scanning, Sonrai’s open platform ingests vulnerability data from third-party scanning tools to add risk context and increase the ROI from your other security investments. Sonrai lets you seamlessly fill in the gaps across your other detection tools with data about host and environment, so response decisions are always based on prioritized risk, not just CVSS scores. Security is absolutely foundational for any large-scale migration to the public cloud. Sonrai Security and the Sonrai Dig platform is central to the World Fuel Services cloud security operating model. The elimination of identity and data risks, automation, and continuous monitoring has transformed our cloud security operations, and helped accelerate our cloud migration.
