Fireside Chat: A Zero Trust approach to Cloud Infrastructure

Enterprises across the world continue to accelerate their digital transformation by rapidly adopting public cloud infrastructure. However, concerns about security and compliance remain the greatest barriers to cloud adoption. A major pillar of this is the ability to limit excessive user entitlements in order to reduce the risk exposure. As a result, the problem of Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) has become mission critical for organizations. CloudKnox and AWS are collaborating to enable you to protect your AWS resources and identities by providing comprehensive visibility, enabling continuous monitoring and automated remediation of permissions (granted versus used).

Join AWS and CloudKnox on Wednesday, May 26th at 8am PT / 11am ET as we discuss the best practices in managing human and machine identities across your AWS environment.

The delta between permissions granted to identities in the public cloud and those actually used is what we are calling the "Permissions Gap". We need to "mind the gap" to deliver on the promise of business agility in the cloud that balances developer freedom and velocity with security best practices.

In this webinar we provide innovative approaches for automated permissions management in AWS using CloudKnox based on the integrations with AWS services specifically AWS Control Tower and AWS Config. The integration of CloudKnox SaaS with AWS Config continuously records and evaluates user access in AWS and then automates the rightsizing of IAM permissions in real time for the user. The integration of CloudKnox with AWS Control Tower is also available for download from the AWS Marketplace, and extends this automated permissions management and rightsizing to multi account AWS environments.

Join us on May 4th at 10am PT / 1pm ET as we dive into how these integrations helps enterprises achieve their goal of automated right-sized permissions management in AWS.

Organizations increasingly expand their cloud infrastructure operations and developers continue to increase their pace of innovation. As a result, Identity and Access Management and other security teams are stretched thin. Allowing for permissions creep to easily proliferate throughout the enterprise, increasing the attack surface. This is compounded by the fact that all of the cloud providers are adding new cloud services and functionality—and thus, new permissions—at a nearly daily frequency.

Without properly managing all human and non-human identities and right-sizing permissions, permissions / privilege creep will remain a problem. This challenge is what Pearson set out to solve by gaining a level of holistic visibility of who can do what in the environment, and whether the status quo “what” is too permissive; and if so, how should they right-size permissions?

Join Pearson and CloudKnox Security on Wednesday, April 28th at 10am PT / 1pm ET to hear how one of the leading media companies in the education world, uses CloudKnox’s PRIVILEGE CREEP INDEX™️ technology to automate the right-sizing of permissions across their AWS environment.

In an ever-growing and evolving virtual landscape, cloud computing and storage are more vital than ever. The process of cloud migration can seem daunting. Knowing how to keep your cloud infrastructure secure during this process is even more of a challenge.

Join CloudKnox Security, Tugboat Logic, and others as we walk through the best ways to help you hit your cloud migration milestones.

Enterprises across the world continue to accelerate their digital transformation by rapidly adopting multi/hybrid-cloud infrastructure. Adoption of these technologies offers organizations opportunities to modernize services and transform operations. However, security and compliance risks remain the greatest barriers to cloud adoption. Combine this with the complexity of hybrid and multi-cloud environments and a shortage of skills; and you arrive at major roadblocks to achieving a Zero Trust framework. A major pillar of the Zero Trust model is the ability to limit excessive user entitlements in order to reduce the risk exposure. As a result, the problem of Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) has become critical.

Join CloudKnox and Intuitive Technology Partners as we walk through the best ways to break down the barriers and map out how enterprises can achieve Zero Trust.

The CloudKnox Cloud Security Platform is comprised of two components: Sentry & FortSentry

Sentry is a Linux virtual machine that is installed in the customer environment. Our solution requires one Sentry appliance per cloud platform. Sentry collects the privileges and activity data of all unique identities that can touch the infrastructure from each cloud platform and uploads the data to the SaaS portal – FortSentry. If there is an external directory configured, the identity data will be pulled directly from the directory.

Digital transformation in a post COVID world needs to be built on a foundation built on Cyber Resilience. Wipro’s State of Cybersecurity Report (SOCR) brings out key trends on nation state attacks, cyber weapons and measures that enterprises are gravitating towards for increasing confidence in cyber resilience. Organizations are increasingly willing to scale their applications and business data into various types of cloud environments to become nimble and address business needs. 86% of organizations are prioritizing Secure Cloud Migration to scale up quickly post COVID 19 situation. As consumption and migration to the cloud increases, a new problem looms large around managing over-permissioned identities.

In this webinar we will discuss the key findings from SOCR and challenges faced in a cloud-native world. With evolution of cloud security, ongoing permissions and entitlements management is fundamental to protecting your organization from next generation of cloud security threats. Tune in for a live session with Wipro and CloudKnox to dive into insights from the State of Cybersecurity Report on future trends and predictions pertaining to the cybersecurity landscape.

Join Jon Roller, CIO of Horsley Bridge Partners, and Joshua Kirkes, Director of Technology and
Cybersecurity at Horsley Bridge Partners as they speak with CloudKnox Security on the latest cloud infrastructure security trends and predictions for 2021. Topics include,:Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM), and Zero Trust Access, amongst others.

Be dazzled by a brilliant magician while CloudKnox Security and GuidePoint Security discuss:

- How to minimize your risk of exposing your organization to permissions misuse and abuse
- What the top 5 cloud permissions risks are and how to remediate them to avoid mass destruction
- How to uncover your cloud identity and access management risks to avoid insider threats and external attacks

Less than 1% of permissions granted are actually used, thus creating a huge delta and leaving cloud infrastructures vulnerable to attacks. We call this the Cloud Permissions Gap. Check out cloudknox.io to learn more.

Achieving security in the cloud is an ever-moving target, making it challenging for security and cloud infrastructure teams to keep up with current risks, much less learn about new approaches. Over the past few years, too many global enterprises have fallen victim to hacks, attacks, and breaches, in many cases attributable to poor implementation of security policies and to the rise of human and non-human identities with excessive high-risk cloud permissions.

Current approaches, such as traditional Role-based Access Controls (RBAC) and other labor-intensive manual processes were early attempts to stay one step ahead of breaches due to accidental misuse and malicious exploitation of permissions. But they simply don’t work in the cloud!

In this webinar Michael Raggo of CloudKnox, will take a look at Gartner’s newly defined category called Cloud Infrastructure Entitlements Management (CIEM). CIEM defines the next generation of solutions for managing access to permissions and enforcing least privilege in the cloud.

In this webinar, you will learn how to:

• Discover who (identities) is doing what, where (resources) and when across your cloud infrastructure
• Manage risk by giving identities just-enough and just-in-time permissions to perform their daily tasks and nothing more
• Monitor identity activity changes and prioritize alerts based on risk level associated with anomalous behavior

You know your cloud environment is only as secure as your ability to properly assign, manage, and monitor your machine and human identity permissions. But, did you know that the delta between permissions granted and permissions used is sometimes as high as 99%? CloudKnox Security calls this the Cloud Permissions Gap, and sufficiently addressing the gap means tackling the hidden risks that are creating it or making it worse.
