Threat actors know that cloud presents a weak area in an organisation ’ s risk posture making it a prime target and leaving sensitive data and AI resources vulnerable .
How does Tenable ’ s cloud security solution CNAPP help to close cloud exposures ?
How are organisations typically approaching the increased attack surface created by distributed environments ? What are the pitfalls of this approach and what is the impact on both team wellbeing and the organisation ’ s cybersecurity posture ?
Unfortunately , most organisations have yet to mature their cybersecurity practices to effectively meet challenges created by accelerated adoption of cloud .
A commissioned report with Tenable Cloud Security and Osterman Research found that 80 % of organisations don ’ t have a security team dedicated to protecting the cloud and most , 84 %, are only at an entry-level with cloud capabilities , meaning they ’ re taking ad-hoc or opportunistic reactive approaches to cloud security . Surprisingly , about 93 % of large organisations , according to the report , are operating at these same levels .
From development to runtime , Tenable ’ s proactive and preventive approach to cloud security continuously analyses an organisation ’ s cloud resources to find the most important risks , spot unknown threats and toxic combinations of security issues and deliver actionable insights within minutes .
A cloud-native security platform is an effective way to manage cloud security tools in one system , which ultimately enhances your cloud security resources with less cost and wasted time . It is also a valuable tool to mature your cloud cyber-hygiene practices .
Tenable Cloud Security is an identity focused cloud native application protection ( CNAPP ) solution that delivers clear , consistent risk context for misconfigurations , over-permissions and vulnerabilities – making mitigation , remediation and communication more actionable . It combines with Tenable ’ s exposure management platform to uniquely offer hybrid ( on-prem to cloud to OT ) solutions that reduce attack surface risk .
The good news is that organisations that spend about 50 hours a week or more adopting a proactive approach to cloud security , for example , implementing cloud vulnerability management best practices , are reaching top maturity levels ( using repeatable , automated and integrated security processes ), but that only accounts for about 16 % of organisations surveyed in the Osterman report .
Instead of using disparate cloud security tools that silo data and create blind spots across your cloud environments , a CNAPP unifies these tools into a single solution . It unites DevSecOps processes with security and infrastructure management .
Why is it so important to simplify security for complex environments and how does Tenable enable this ?
By unifying visibility and accurately prioritising risk across cloud infrastructure , workloads , identities , data and AI resources , Tenable Cloud Security empowers teams to close cloud exposures to address key critical risk areas :
• Identity security : Cuts permissions risk and enforces least privilege with best-of-breed cloud identity entitlement management ( CIEM ) and Justin-Time access
