Top platform cloud security advices{||| today| right now| 2022| by SonraiSecurity? Vulnerability prioritization for VMs and containers requires going beyond age, CVSS score, and exploit status. Sonrai Risk Amplifiers leverage the sonrai identity graph to highlight vulnerabilities with access to administrator privileges, access to sensitive data, or connected externally. Deploy Sonrai’s lightweight agentless scanner for workload insights without heavy cloud resource requirements – or enrich the Sonrai platform with existing scanner data. Read even more info at Least Privilege. Out-of-the-box remediation: Advanced workflow capabilities and a library of custom remediation and prevention options – including prebuilt and custom bots – mean things get fixed fast.

Comprehensive permissions intel unlocks the ability to enforce least privilege strategically and with precision. Stringent policies to protect sensitive data are applied only where they’re needed, without overwhelming the security team or stifling development innovation. The context provided by Sonrai shows exactly where policies should be enforced, with total context of any sensitive data, network connections, and other configurations. Additionally, Sonrai organizes your cloud into swimlanes with target security maturity levels and applied business context.

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.

Detect drift from frameworks and best practices: With a full inventory view continuously updated, Sonrai lets you know when your cloud posture is drifting from where you want it, using pre-loaded external frameworks or set custom objectives. Take immediate action on any deviation. Things change quickly in the cloud. Sonrai enables DevOps, DevSecOps, security, and audit teams to ensure that controls are consistently functional and effective at every moment. If any deviations are detected, Sonrai alerts the right team so they can take immediate action to resolve the issue.

In addition to our own agentless scanning, Sonrai’s open platform ingests vulnerability data from third-party scanning tools to add risk context and increase the ROI from your other security investments. Sonrai lets you seamlessly fill in the gaps across your other detection tools with data about host and environment, so response decisions are always based on prioritized risk, not just CVSS scores. Security is absolutely foundational for any large-scale migration to the public cloud. Sonrai Security and the Sonrai Dig platform is central to the World Fuel Services cloud security operating model. The elimination of identity and data risks, automation, and continuous monitoring has transformed our cloud security operations, and helped accelerate our cloud migration.
