Key Trends in Cloud Security for 2021
“As migration of companies to the cloud has increased post the COVID-19 crisis, the cloud will comprise about 14.2% of the total worldwide IT spending by 2024, 9.1% up from 2020.” The growth of cloud adoption and its services is showing no signs of decreasing. For the current year, 2021, it has been anticipated that […]
How to Protect Non-Human Privileged Identities?
Some organizations have tried to manage non-human identities manually. But as noted by Gartner, many of these manual methods don’t operate with modern cloud environments. They succeed only in deepening the silos of departmental processes and tools, thereby further limiting the ability of organizations to maintain visibility of their machine identities throughout their networks. Due to such […]
Why to Protect Non-Human Privileged Identities?
With companies shifting to the cloud, several new identities like API’s, Bots, Vendor accounts etc will need closer management. During your digital transformation, you will need to create identity-centric strategies to secure your hybrid environment while operating in sophisticated and complex IT ecosystems. Traditionally, human identities such as that of the employees, contractors and vendors […]
What is a Non-Human Privileged Identity?
With digital transformation comes the move to the public cloud. It requires a retooling of your security strategy from the ground up. The rise in the number of identities in the public cloud is a risk that you simply can’t ignore. Privileged identity is a term used to designate the special identities that have access […]
Protect your Privileges in the Cloud
As organizations deploy new cloud environments and services, they introduce thousands of identity-based permissions that must be securely configured and continuously managed. At the same time the number of users and applications with privileged access – including both human and machine identities – skyrockets. Additionally, the cloud environments are always changing and this combined with […]
Identity is the New Perimeter
“Your security model will fail sooner or later, if you are still defining security along IP addresses, ” Traditionally used security measures are no longer useful in today’s times. Disruptive technologies such as clouds, containers and microservices have transformed the approach taken for enterprise security. As businesses move to cloud computing, employees are able to […]
Need for Cloud IAM Security
As more organizations are shifting to the cloud for their digital transformation journey, it has become important to secure your services running in the cloud, especially – the Identity and access management services. You must focus on protecting the user as well as the machine identities along with the data that they access. For protecting […]
What is CIEM?
With more and more applications hosted across the cloud service providers, the attack surfaces increase as well. This is due the increased permissions for human and machine identities to access critical cloud resources. The number of permissions can easily go as high as several millions. A major chunk of these permissions, sometimes as much as […]
Shared Security Model
Cloud security refers to the efforts of securing applications, data and infrastructure. It has become a priority owing to concerns over data exposure. A shared security model gives a framework for cloud security for sharing the security responsibilities between the cloud service provider and the user to ensure accountability. The challenge for an organization is to […]
Build Security Early in Development Stage
Most modern organizations are integrating security across the entire development lifecycle as they are realizing it’s potential. Applications are becoming collections of microservices and functions and everything is getting defined as code. Developers use a vast array of tools to build and deploy cloud native applications and operationalizing security controls that work seamlessly across these […]
