Quality enterprise cloud security recommendations{||| today| right now| 2022| from SonraiSecurity? Complex permission chains have become a very attractive attack vector. Knowing what can access what requires a continuous, unified graph of activity, privileges, and potential access. Sonrai is purpose-built to understand every identity’s effective permissions and enforce least privilege. Sonrai’s graph will map every permission, no matter how complex, and is the only CIEM platform that achieves this. A simple “no” answer to “is my datastore public?” used to be good enough for point-in-time CSPM solutions. Today’s dynamic clouds are much more complex than that. Periodic checks don’t support modern security posture anymore. See more info on Least Privilege. Stakeholder value metrics: Track progress over time with digestible KPIs that give your team benchmarks and make sense to executives.
An identity can use multiple different capabilities to create a path to data or change its initial privileges. Assuming a role, they can use the role’s privilege escalation capabilities to access a new right to change privileges, and then from there change the permissions of their original group. While cloud or IAM providers show discrete permissions, and even certain excessive permissions, Sonrai monitors and reveals effective permissions, which account for multiple complex lateral movements. Without Sonrai, these complex paths remain hidden and represent enormous enterprise risk. Maintain least privilege in the right places.
Customers are taking action – according to the Forrester study, by 2023 82% of firms say they will have invested in cloud infrastructure entitlement management solutions. Customers in the study see machine learning, automation, and DevOps integration as key to addressing this complexity and we at Sonrai wholeheartedly agree. We also believe that to get the true risk picture of their public cloud, organizations require context beyond just the identities themselves, and need to connect identities with business data, overall platform risk through CSPM, and workload security. In addition to this context-based risk picture, the methods for managing the risks also need to evolve. Only through the use of intelligent workflows and automation, can security move both at the speed, and the scale of the cloud. When working in this new model, we believe that organizations can achieve a level of security in the cloud, using the cloud, that was never before possible.
Understand lateral movement risk – no matter how complex. Identities, often representing services and non-human users, can inherit a series of roles, group memberships, and permission sets and chain them together to bridge a path to sensitive data. Sonrai provides a true, full view of identity access that understands and accounts for potential access via cloud-specific rights like privilege escalation, improper separation of duties, or abuse of the “confused deputy problem.”
Sonrai’s Risk Amplifiers and patented identity graph show the hidden “blast radius” of each vulnerability so you can understand how severe a vulnerability truly is and make the next right step to secure your cloud. True context can’t be limited to only exploit availability and whether a workload is running or not. Those factors alone just won’t tell you anything about the potential for sensitive data exposure. With Sonrai’s risk amplifiers, you know exactly what vulnerability needs patching today to keep your enterprise and data protected. Read extra details at https://sonraisecurity.com/.
