Tenable Cloud Security: Protecting Cloud Environments

Майстер-клас: секрети випікання найсмачніших млинців!

26.07.2024

Cloud environments have become integral to modern business, and therefore they are now prime targets for cybercriminals. With over 80% of security breaches in 2023 involving cloud-stored data, protecting this infrastructure is crucial for any modern organisation.

Why Cloud Security Matters

Cloud infrastructures are interdependent. Misconfigured access settings or accounts with excessive privileges can expose vast amounts of sensitive data. As a result, attacks on cloud environments can result in substantial financial losses, reputational damage, and legal consequences.
According to a Forrester Consulting survey commissioned by Tenable, 68% of decision-makers view their cloud deployments as high-risk areas, particularly in public and hybrid environments. 
Key challenges include:● Misconfigured cloud infrastructure and services (68%).● Vulnerabilities in software used in business processes (62%).● Misconfigured user privilege management tools (60%).
As companies leverage cloud environments for data and computational power, the threats scale alongside this growth.

Key Threats and Risks for Cloud Environments

Compromise of User AccountsAccount breaches grant attackers access to confidential data. Weak passwords, lack of multifactor authentication, or flaws in authentication systems can lead to such breaches. Compromised accounts can be used for data theft or other malicious activities.
Data LeaksMisconfigurations or human errors can result in data leaks. Unprotected storage or improperly set access controls can expose sensitive information to attackers.
Targeted Attacks on Cloud InfrastructureAttackers target cloud infrastructure due to its complexity and interlinked components. Exploiting vulnerabilities in cloud services or asset misconfigurations can disrupt cloud applications and compromise company data.
Data TheftTheft of confidential data can severely impact a company's reputation and finances. Stolen data can be used for extortion, sold on the black market, or for other criminal activities. Protecting cloud data requires encryption and strict access controls.
Compromise of Administrative Accounts and Supply ChainsAdministrative accounts with privileged access are common targets. At the same time, supply chain compromises can introduce malware or exploit vulnerabilities in service provider networks.
Addressing these threats necessitates a systematic approach to cloud security, incorporating specialised tools like Tenable Cloud Security to safeguard assets and data.

What Approach Does Tenable Offer?

Cloud Workload Protection (CWP) solutions defend cloud infrastructures from malware, data breaches, and policy violations. This multifaceted approach includes:
● Vulnerability Scanning: Identifying and mitigating misconfigurations.● Risk and Security Posture Management (CSPM): Managing threats and analysing security status.● Threat Analysis: Proactive threat detection and response.

Why is CWP Important?

Cloud workloads are prime targets due to their sensitive data and business-critical functions. Continuous changes in cloud environments make them challenging to secure, especially with traditional methods. Key Advantages of CWP:
● Proactive Threat Detection: Continuous scanning for vulnerabilities and suspicious activities.● Enhanced Security Settings: Ensures optimal configuration and compliance with industry standards.● Priority Problem Resolution: Identifies and addresses the most critical vulnerabilities.● Reduced Attack Surface: Mitigates risks through vulnerability identification and access control.● Improved Visibility: Centralized view of cloud security posture● Optimised Costs and Workflows: Automation reduces the likelihood of breaches and security lapses.

Core Technologies and Tools of CWP:

● Vulnerability Management: Identifies and addresses potential threats before exploitation.● Threat Hunting: Proactively seeks out potential issues.● Protection for Diverse Workloads: Secures virtual machines, containers, and serverless computing.

Cloud Security with Tenable

Tenable Cloud Security integrates CWP capabilities into a unified Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP), safeguarding cloud environments from development to deployment. Features include:
● Continuous Vulnerability Management: Automatic scanning of operating systems, containers, and configurations.● Contextual Vulnerability Analysis: Provides detailed risk assessments and remediation recommendations.● Misconfiguration Detection and Correction: Automated identification and correction of configuration errors.● Risk-Based Threat Prioritization: Assigns risk scores to optimise remediation efforts.● Compliance Management: Pre-built policies that adhere to industry standards (CIS, GDPR, HIPAA, etc.).● Built-In Security: Integration with DevOps processes to identify and fix security issues early.● Just-In-Time Access Control: Minimizes attack surface by providing temporary access only as needed.

Conclusion

Ensuring cloud security is essential for modern organisations. Leading solutions like Tenable Cloud Security detect and rectify vulnerabilities and offer a proactive approach to threat protection.
