Cisco Multi-Cloud Security Solutions
Where and how people work has changed more in the last 12 months than it has in the decade prior. The applications we use to facilitate work, are evolving at a similarly rapid rate. With many applications no longer living in the controlled environment of your data centre or private cloud – instead residing with a SaaS provider – there are three key pillars needed to support this new way of working:
- Data Backup
- Secure access to data
- Ongoing application performance
To keep ahead of the pace of today’s organisational and technological transformation, you need business continuity, resilience, security, and performance.
Cisco works anywhere that your data travels. Discover multi-cloud network protection with Cisco Duo Security, Cisco Umbrella, SD-WAN and HyperFlex.
Azure Sentinel SIEM
Do you have a Security Information and Event Management system (SIEM)? Do you need to ensure strict security controls and reporting within Azure and/or on-premises?
Sentinel is an Azure hosted SIEM as-a-service that can ingest and inspect security related events from virtually anywhere. Powered by advanced Artificial Intelligence and backed by security research analysis based on trillions of signals daily, Sentinel is pre-configured and ready to report on anomalous and malicious behavior within your infrastructure.
The compelling reason to select Sentinel over other SIEM services, is the elegance and simplicity of setup and configuration. Built-in data connectors can be configured in seconds to ingest data streams from Azure Active Directory, Office 365, Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), Security Center and many more.
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)
SASE is the new kid on the block for network security, managed from the cloud. At its core, SASE is about shifting the focus from protecting the location of data, to protecting the user and the journey of their data.
SASE covers a range of services including SD-WAN, Zero Trust Network Access, DNS protection, Data Loss Prevention and Firewall as a Service. Wrap your head around SASE with our blog, Introducing SASE – the cloud-delivered future of network security.
One of the leading SASE solutions is Prisma Access from Palo Alto Networks.
Security without compromise
Solutions to unlock unprecedented visibility, data security and threat protection for your organisation, providing comprehensive protection for today’s cloud generation across sanctioned and unsanctioned apps.
Cloud app visibility
Today, unsanctioned apps are being used across the board. As shadow IT increases, how are IT teams supposed to secure what they don’t know about? CASB solutions remove these blind spots and takes back control of Shadow IT with complete visibility into where your data resides, where data goes and who has access to it. Understand which apps to sanction, what subscriptions to streamline, and where to enforce controls.
The average enterprise is using 1,807 cloud apps –
4 times
more than they typically think.3
Cloud data security
When it comes to employee productivity, cloud apps provide great opportunities to collaborate and innovate, but this also makes them susceptible to inadvertent sharing of confidential data. CASB solutions can identify sensitive data, monitor data at risk, encrypt sensitive content, and enforce policy controls to prevent data breaches.
62%
of employees have access to data they shouldn’t.2
Cloud threat protection
As most enterprise-grade cloud apps feature built-in security features, malicious attackers are more likely to target user credentials than attempt to break through fortified architectures. Users innocently connecting with malware infected devices can also compromise data security across the wider organisation. CASB solutions use User Behaviour Analytics (UBA) and integrated malware protection to intelligently detect and block malicious activity.
59%
of people use the same or similar passwords for multiple accounts.4
Cloud incident response
The more you know about your cloud activity, the better equipped you are to protect your organisation. CASB solutions use rich log-based intelligence to quickly investigate any areas of concern, providing easily searched and filtered logs of granular cloud activity by user, app, location or more. Data is presented graphically for fast analysis and even faster decision making.
Intelligent integration
Whilst the first generation of CASBs (CASB 1.0) helped enterprises secure their cloud, they lacked integration with existing on-premises security investments. Separate islands of security left gaps that could be exploited. CASB 2.0 solutions represents the next generation of cloud app security, which intelligently integrates with your existing security infrastructure, including DLP, endpoint management, web security, encryption, user authentication and advanced malware protection. Not only providing greater security coverage – it also reduces operational complexity and optimises the user experience. Increasingly, more organisations are turning to CASB to secure their entire enterprise.
85%
of large enterprises will use a CASB platform by 2020.5
