For any organization that holds, stores, or processes customer data in the cloud, SOC 2 compliance is necessary. What is SOC 2? Why is it important? How is it different than SOC 1 compliance? How do you achieve SOC 2 compliance?

In this guidebook, we are going to break down the complexities associated with PCI and discuss the requirements for enterprises to be PCI compliant.

Cloud misconfiguration is the biggest security risk for the modern enterprise. If left unattended, it can open your organization up to unforeseen security risks.

As organizations increase their footprint to leverage cloud computing for increased application deployment velocity and scalability, they will need to have continuous visibility into their cloud environments in order to prevent unauthorized changes from causing additional threats and security breaches. One of the ways to gain visibility into your cloud infrastructure is with baselines.

Data breaches due to cloud infrastructure misconfiguration are one of the biggest risks to organizations in the cloud.

We've moved beyond simple S3 misconfigurations and into more advanced attacks that exploit a common cloud misconfiguration vulnerabilities with VPCs, IAM, and other services, many of which are easily missed by security teams and compliance frameworks.

Application teams are increasing their deployment velocity by moving security and compliance checks earlier in the software development life cycle (SDLC), when corrective changes are easier and faster to make.

In this on-demand webinar, we will focus on two common approaches to automated remediation: lambda functions vs. self-healing infrastructure.Josh Stella, co-founder and CTO of Fugue, will explore both approaches in depth to compare their effectiveness in managing cloud misconfiguration risk, their impact on cloud operations, and a brief ROI analysis.

In this webinar, we’re going to explore using cloud environment baselining as the mechanism for shifting left on infrastructure security and compliance.

Today's enterprise needs to move fast at scale in the cloud, but the dynamic and complex nature of the cloud has introduced a significant new risk: a data breach due to misconfiguration and human error. In large enterprise cloud environments, it's not uncommon to have making infrastructure decisions concerning tens of thousands of resources spanning hundreds of AWS accounts. This creates a challenge for security and compliance teams: How can you ensure critical data is secure and your AWS environments always adhere to policy—without deploying an army of cloud security engineers?

Watch this webinar to gain a better understanding of cloud infrastructure misconfiguration, a major risk to any enterprise adopting the cloud and scaling cloud operations. What is cloud misconfiguration? Why it is so pervasive? And why does it present such a critical risk to the enterprise? This video discusses how we need to think differently about the problem in order to effectively address it.

With organizations rapidly increasing their cloud footprint, ensuring SOC 2 compliance is essential. The standard applies to any organization that stores or processes customer data in the cloud. How can organizations best prepare for their SOC 2 audit?

Orphaned cloud resources, typically left over from development or maintenance, represent significant risks of misconfiguration and data breaches. A long-forgotten EC2 instance or VPC may contain OS vulnerabilities or overly permissive security group rules that hackers can use to gain access to your cloud environments.

If you use Amazon Web Services (AWS), chances are the S3 object storage service gets a lot of use. It’s easy to use, extremely reliable, and incredibly popular. But it’s also a service that’s easy to get wrong, and data breaches related to S3 misconfigurations have become all too commonplace.

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) misconfiguration has become a primary attack vector for bad actors seeking to breach data on AWS. Even the most security-conscious cloud engineers can inadvertently misconfigure IAM services resulting in privilege escalation attacks or unauthorized account access.

Misconfigured cloud resources can empower malicious insiders with the ability to do real damage to your organization. Ill-intentioned employees and contractors have an added advantage over outsiders: better means of discovering, accessing, and exploiting cloud resources.

Securing production databases on AWS is a top priority for cloud and security teams, but less attention is paid to preventing the kinds of alternative attack vectors we've seen in the news recently. One scenario involves building new databases from backup snapshots to steal data without detection.

Recent high-profile cloud breaches involve advanced tactics that took advantage of multiple resource misconfigurations to gain entry to environments, discover resources, move laterally, and extract data—all without detection. They don’t typically break compliance rules, and security teams won’t likely recognize them as vulnerabilities.

Fugue surveyed 300 organizations across a broad number of industries about their cloud operations, level of maturity, and security and compliance challenges as they migrate their infrastructure to the cloud.

Fugue surveyed IT, Cloud, Security and Compliance professionals from more than 300 organizations across a broad number of industries about their cloud operations and how they view and manage misconfiguration risk.

New Light Technologies (NLT) is an IT and GIS services company that helps organizations such as the World Bank and US Census Bureau modernize their infrastructure in the cloud. NLT partners with Fugue to prevent cloud misconfiguration and deliver continuous compliance for their customers’ Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure infrastructure.

SparkPost is the leading email delivery and analytics provider that sends more than 5 trillion messages annually, representing more than 37% of the world’s business email. SparkPost provides customers with actionable, real-time data to drive engagement and ROI.

GlobalGiving, the largest global crowdfunding community that connects nonprofits, donors, and companies, utilizes Fugue to ensure PCI-regulated workloads in AWS are compliant.

Fugue works with a multinational digital marketing and commerce company possessing a broad portfolio of consumer and enterprise properties to establish SOC2 and PCI requirements for its applications and infrastructure.

Fugue works with a national media company that produces content for millions of consumers worldwide to help establish cloud security best practices.

Fugue ensures cloud infrastructure stays in continuous compliance with enterprise security policies.

Visualizing your cloud resources does not need to be complex and laborious. With the Fugue visualizer, DevOps teams, security engineers, and compliance analysts can auto-generate visual diagrams of their cloud resources.

AWS IaaS and PaaS tools have enabled enterprises to dramatically increase application deployment velocity and scalability. However, the programmatic and dynamic capabilities of cloud computing create challenges for teams responsible for managing compliance and security risks.

Azure IaaS and PaaS tools have enabled enterprises to dramatically increase application deployment velocity and scalability. Fugue ensures that your Azure infrastructure stays in continuous compliance with enterprise security policies.

Organizations that handle credit card information must be compliant with PCI Data Security Standards (PCI), a compliance standard for protecting payment cardholder data. If your organization accepts or processes payment cards, PCI applies to you.

Developed by the AICPA, SOC 2 is designed to address how organizations should design systems of internal controls to address the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of customer data.

Fugue can enforce NIST 800-53 compliance for cloud infrastructure and reduces time-to-ATO to enable speed-to-mission and improve operational efficiencies.

The risks due to misconfigurations can be severe for organizations: steep regulatory fines, loss of customer data, and damage to your brand. Mean Time to Remediation (MTTR) is the key security metric that every CISO should care about.

4 benefits to visualizing your cloud infrastructure

The number one cause of data breaches in the cloud is misconfiguration. Yet, zombie cloud resources, by definition, are not tracked by cloud and security teams, posing real security misconfiguration risk.

Of the total 12 requirements and 6 goals in PCI DSS, the following are the most relevant for compliance an
