Security Management: Why Companies Need a Unified Cloud Platform

Security Management: Why Companies Need a Unified Cloud Platform

We must adapt the way we secure data to today’s needs. Working from home has increased, forcing entities and their employees to rely more on virtual private networks (VPNs), work with their security operations center (SOC) colleagues remotely and give more attention to data protection. The global pandemic has sped up emerging trends in IT and cybersecurity, such as digital adoption and noisy tools and agility within the SOC, to name just a few. To keep pace, entities can leverage a central security management platform approach to adapt and modernize their SOCs. 


Considerations for Security Management


Consider the ‘incident’ side of protecting data. The idea is clear: an improvement to any discrete aspect of incident response makes the process more efficient overall. For example, the faster the team spots a breach, the faster they can patch it.


However, threat detection is often noisy. Being able to streamline the events to a more accurate narrative and discover the root cause is crucial. Finding out where the threat actor has entered the network and where he or she has gone or is going becomes key for fixing the problem. 


After all, the art of remediation isn’t just to throw patches at the problem. It also involves finding which assets must be protected first and which paths to and from the network are the most exposed.


What Parts of the System Are Most at Risk?


Risk includes the following components:



Internet-facing devices are much more at risk than on-premises machines and assets. Having good insight into a web server is more important than protecting a print server.
