Cloud Visibility is Everything

One of the main challenges faced by organizations and security teams is the protection of the control and enforcement of the cloud. In order to maintain efficient cloud management, the use of automation and advanced tools, such as Microsoft’s leading suite of services solutions for cloud visibility, is required. Microsoft’s suite of services provides a 360° view of all that happens within the organization and serves as the basis for network security operations. The Microsoft toolbox provides complete visibility and ensures advanced information security options.

Identity at the front door

Alongside the transition to the cloud, the issue of identity has gained significant momentum and importance. Unlike in the past, where entering a username and password to the computer was one of the last steps at the beginning of the workday, nowadays, identities are the first and foremost issue that must be addressed and managed.

To facilitate this need, organizations must implement permissions management, a service offered by Microsoft as “Microsoft Entra”. Microsoft Entra is a cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) solution that provides comprehensive visibility into permissions assigned to all identities (users and workloads), actions, and resources across cloud infrastructures. It detects, right-sizes, and monitors unused and excessive permissions and enables Zero Trust security through least privileged access in Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Most organizations across all industries consume cloud services. To be able to provide sufficient protection to the cloud environment, information security and infrastructure bodies require full visibility of the identities, applications, and resources that use the cloud. Even more importantly, they must be able to concentrate all of the alerts, incidents, and insights in a single place and to be able to analyze them swiftly and efficiently.

Multi-cloud and one system that sees it all!

Nowadays, almost every large organization uses more than one cloud, thus complicating the task of network security management and maintaining clear visibility into the organization.

As an answer to this challenge, we provide our customers with Microsoft Defender for Cloud, offering them a comprehensive view of the three main clouds: Amazon, Google and Microsoft.

Microsoft Defender for Cloud connects to your multi-cloud environments using agentless, API-based methods for CSPM insight.

Detecting, monitoring, and control

Retinal visibility is the first step in the defense base system for neutralizing threat elements. Microsoft's Cloud Discovery solutions allow the elevation of the organization’s defense system to exceptionally high levels. Moreover, the increased visibility makes it possible to perform monitoring and detection over the system.

Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps is a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) that operates on multiple clouds. It provides rich visibility, control over data travel, and sophisticated analytics to identify and combat cyber threats across all your cloud services.

Additionally, the use of Microsoft Sentinel allows you to identify and stop threats before they cause harm, with SIEM adapted to the modern world. Microsoft Sentinel is your birds-eye view across the enterprise.
