Premium identity cloud security tips and tricks 2022

Top rated enterprise cloud security tips and tricks{||| today| right now| 2022| by SonraiSecurity? Address the root of your cloud vulnerabilities: Recognizing which vulnerabilities are the most dangerous to your business means understanding threats unique to the host. A vulnerability is a crack in the perimeter, but revealing the path to sensitive data comes from platform, identity, and data risks. To reveal this, Sonrai Risk Amplifiers automatically highlight vulnerabilities with high privileges, access to sensitive data, or external exposure.

Always know who accessed what data and when: The point-in-time analysis approach fundamentally misunderstands the nature of modern cloud, which relies on ephemeral compute that disappears between scans and adheres to always-on compliance standards. Sonrai eliminates this problem and provides security teams with a complete, continuous picture of the true status of their security posture that enables enterprises to stay on top of cloud risk in real-time. Continuously monitor activity logs, cloud assets, and configuration: Sonrai captures and monitors serverless functions that only exist for a few minutes and have their activity tracked and understood, preventing any circumventing of detection that a point-in-time CSPM would miss.

An identity can use multiple different capabilities to create a path to data or change its initial privileges. Assuming a role, they can use the role’s privilege escalation capabilities to access a new right to change privileges, and then from there change the permissions of their original group. While cloud or IAM providers show discrete permissions, and even certain excessive permissions, Sonrai monitors and reveals effective permissions, which account for multiple complex lateral movements. Without Sonrai, these complex paths remain hidden and represent enormous enterprise risk. Maintain least privilege in the right places.

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.

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 extra details at https://sonraisecurity.com/.
