Cloud Misconfiguration

Eliminate the Threat of Cloud Misconfigurations with Confidence

Cloud misconfigurations are the biggest and most prevalent cloud vulnerability that you're facing. Many significant data breaches associated with cloud infrastructure in recent years have boiled down to some sort of a misconfiguration. We actively monitor your cloud infrastructure, assessing configurations and policies in real-time to help eliminate the threat of misconfigurations across your multi-cloud environments.

Cloud adoption is accelerating at an exponential rate

Whether it's for business collaboration, digital transformation, or to store critical data assets, organizations are increasingly relying on the cloud. This leads to an expanded attack surface for cybercriminals to access sensitive data hosted on cloud environments and increases the risk of a cyberattack.

Unfortunately, cloud misconfigurations are no small threat – many of the biggest data breaches associated with cloud infrastructure have boiled down to some sort of a misconfiguration. This has led the National Security Agency (NSA) to further declare that cloud misconfigurations are easily the biggest (and most prevalent) cloud vulnerability that organizations are currently facing.

Protect Your Business from Cloud Misconfigurations

eSentire MDR for Cloud provides Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) as well as 24/7 Managed Detection and Response and Cloud Workload Protection to ensure you have deep visibility into your cloud environment. Our experts provide seamless monitoring, scanning and control over your multi-cloud environment delivering unmatched visibility, correlation and protection from cloud-specific threats.

24/7 Managed Detection and Response: We detect, investigate and respond to threats specific to multi-cloud environments leveraging our cloud-native Atlas XDR platform, proprietary MITRE ATT&CK mapped detections, and our 24/7 Security Operations Centers (SOCs) staffed with Elite Threat Hunters and experienced Cyber Analysts.

Cloud Security Posture Management: We eliminate the risk of critical cloud misconfigurations by providing continuous cloud visibility, configuration management, asset tracking, and mapping to compliance frameworks including PCI, HIPAA, CIS, and SOC 2. Gain comprehensive visibility across your cloud infrastructure with anomaly-based threat detection and proactive, prioritized cloud threat response.

Cloud Workload Protection: We see and understand cloud changes at scale without requiring manual interventions by your team every time a new cloud service or technology is adopted. Our Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) offering runs natively in the cloud and provides continuous build to run-time threat detection, behavioral anomaly detection, and compliance across multi-cloud environments, workloads, accounts, containers, and Kubernetes.

This means your organization benefits from:

  • Improved ROI on multi-cloud environments
  • Enforcement of critical security rules
  • Reduced cloud knowledge gaps
  • Improved time to value in managing risks at the administration level of your multi-cloud environment
  • Rapid threat detection while reducing alert fatigue
  • Reduced cybersecurity incidents in your multi-cloud environment
  • Benchmarking your cloud application configurations against industry and organizational standards
  • Getting guardrails for your developers to avoid common misconfigurations
  • Reduced risk for data loss, data exfiltration, and threat actor dwell time
  • Improved cloud visibility and MITRE coverage
  • Improved cyber resiliency

Three Primary Drivers of Cloud Misconfigurations

There have been a multitude of data breaches occurring due to misconfigurations in the cloud, which occur because of improper settings being used when architecting and deploying services within the cloud platform. So, why do these misconfigurations happen in the first place? Ultimately, there are three primary drivers:

Lack of Experience

Unlike on-prem environments, cloud services are notoriously easy to deploy and set up by internal teams. If your organization has employees that aren’t experienced with setting up the proper configurations and policies in the cloud environment, they can miss key elements that must be enabled to maintain security.

Strained Resources

Many cloud configurations are reliant on simple checkboxes that can easily be overlooked by overworked employees who wear multiple hats. Missed critical details such as this can lead to unintentionally exposing your company’s sensitive data to the public.

Inadequate Cloud
Migration Strategy

Many organizations think there is a one-and-done cloud migration strategy – (aka the “lift and shift” method), where all on-prem applications are simply virtualized and moved to the cloud. However, your team must properly re-architect your applications to ensure that you’re choosing the correct migration strategy for each application and data asset.
