The cloud represents the most disruptive trend in enterprise IT over the past decade, and security teams have not escaped turmoil during the transition. It’s understandable for security professionals to feel like they’ve lost some control in the cloud and feel frustrated while attempting to get a handle on the cloud “chaos” in order to secure it from modern threats.
Read MoreToday, Fugue added out-of-the-box support for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI) to give enterprises full PCI compliance visibility and reporting across their entire cloud footprint. PCI joins HIPAA, NIST 800-53, GDPR, and AWS CIS Benchmark as part of Fugue’s turnkey solution for ensuring cloud infrastructure environments adhere to compliance standards.
Read MoreLured by the promise of scalability, cost benefits, innovation and business growth, organizations are rapidly embracing the cloud for their IT resources and processing. In fact, Gartner predicts that by 2025, 80 percent of enterprises will have shut down their traditional data center in favor of cloud, versus 10% today.
Read MoreThere is a lot of talk about DevSecOps these days, and we've been working in the area for years now and have learned some things that work and some that don't. First, we'll give you our view on what DevSecOps is, and then we'll make a few recommendations on how to start doing it and get real results in an hour or two!
Read MoreA lot of folks have realized that manually fixing cloud infrastructure to correct security and compliance issues is just too slow and error prone to handle the threat landscape on the cloud. An increasingly common approach to speeding up remediation these days is to use cloud functions, such as AWS Lambda or Azure Functions, connected to a threat detection tool, to remediate specific cloud misconfigurations.
Read MoreAll humans make mistakes and some of those mistakes could lead to security breaches. According to Gartner, through 2023 at least 99% of cloud security failures will be the customer’s fault. Many of these successful cyber-attacks will be a result of hackers preying on the vulnerabilities of human weakness to successfully gain access to an organization’s infrastructure and networks wreaking havoc and damage.
Read MoreInfrastructure misconfiguration is the leading cause of data breaches in the cloud, and a big reason misconfiguration happens is infrastructure configuration “drift,” or change that occurs in a cloud environment post-provisioning. If you’re responsible for the security and compliance of cloud environments, you probably spend a lot of time focused on analyzing infrastructure drift events and remediating them. It’s easy to think of all drift as being bad or undesirable. And make no mistake, some of it is really bad. Ugly even! But some drift is good and desired, and understanding the differences between the good, the bad, and the ugly--and how to recognize them--can save you and your team a lot of frustration and wasted time.
Read MoreIn last week’s blog we discussed the Shared Responsibility Model and how it affects enterprises’ cloud security. Based on the Shared Responsibility Model, organizations are responsible for security in the cloud, which includes how they configure and use the resources provided by the cloud service providers. Falling within this realm are cloud resource configurations. Cloud configurations are complex and if not implemented correctly, can increase the risk of a data breach.
Read MoreSecurity and compliance are priorities for companies in the cloud. However, cloud security and compliance is not the responsibility of any single entity alone and determining the demarcation line can lead to confusion. Security and compliance in the cloud is a shared responsibility between the cloud service providers (CSP) and their customers.
Read MoreWhenever there's talk of the cloud, misconfiguration and the security risk it brings inevitably becomes a part of the conversation. And of course, once you start talking about cloud misconfiguration, “auto-remediation” often creeps into the conversation. But what does “auto-remediation” really mean? The concept of “auto-remediation” is that the solution finds problems or policy violations in your cloud infrastructure and automatically fixes them.
