Cloud Security Service is one of the areas where business of all sizes currently focused, in terms of making their transition into hybrid multi cloud environment safe and secure. By moving into cloud would give you the flexibility to reduce overhead of capital expenditure and problems of over provisioning and under provisioning of resources. At the same time would assure required support for on demand resources and scalability to increase global footprints. Well-defined cloud security strategy would make your journey safe into cloud and build a well-defined cloud security framework. To manage a cohesive hybrid, multi-cloud security program, you need to establish visibility and control. Through centralized visibility and access control, your enterprise will be able to monitor and adapt to the threat landscape. Detect and contain attacks by orchestrating effective organization-wide incident response procedures.

Cloud IAM being the cornerstone of enterprise security agenda, provides an entry point into zero trust implementation, as you centralize access control, preserve client privacy, reduce insider threats, and secure your remote workforce. Identify the roles that are required to operate in the environment and define what they are authorized to do. Implement the principle of least privilege and enforce separation of duties with appropriate authorization for each interaction with your resources. Monitor, alert, and audit actions and changes to your environment in real time. Integrate logs and metrics with systems to automatically respond and take action.

While collecting threat signals, detecting intrusion and security incidents for midsize/large enterprises volume of data would be big enough and would keep accumulating day to day basis. Without having machine learning based preliminary analysis and grouping of incidents based upon parameters like resource type, department, location, nature of incident, severity over a long period it would become difficult to manage. Apart from incident & threat analysis automation of required actions, straight through fixes would keep queue of recommended actions addressed on time and manageable. User related recommendations for large group could be actioned through periodic access review as well. Orchestration and consolidation of threat signals and automation of recommended actions would manage cyber security estate more efficient and productive manner.

While protecting your digital estate with zero trust architecture and centralized identity and access management, brining the physical and digital estate under one umbrella of unified identity and access management would reduce the gap and vulnerability overall. In terms of securing access management of physical infrastructure/ security perimeters would facilitate just in time access provisioning, deprovisioning, guess access management. Identity based access management for logical assets as well as physical assets. Visitor Pass and Guest Profile management is another cumbersome task for enterprise/ corporates. Cost effective Guest profile creations and access management, sharing guidelines over dos and don’ts, wi-fi access instructions would make guest management more convenient.
