The 2023 Cloud security report is an eye-opener for the industry. Several cyber security professionals and insiders were part of the survey. The analysis was aimed at identifying the most inevitable challenges and objectives dominating the cloud sector. Of course, enterprises continue to migrate to the cloud. The trend is likely to persist in the upcoming years as well. However, the challenges concerning cloud security persist. In other words, it would be accurate to say that the increasing prominence of the cloud has also led to an equal number of challenges concerning cyber security. All in all, the industry has to deal with a unique situation. Therefore, the sector requires modified solutions way ahead of its traditional counterparts.

The new solutions need to be in perfect sync with the altered requirements of the industry. Organizations need to improve their visibility to safeguard against misconfigurations, malware, ransomware, breaches, and other threats as a result of the move to cloud technologies, including hosts, containers, storage services, and Infrastructure as Code. Sophos is a leading name among companies providing high-end cloud security solutions adherent to the latest requirements. The Sophos Cloud Native Security ensures total cloud security coverage across workloads, identities, and multiple environments. The Comprehensive and Integrated Cloud Security Protection extended by Sophos focuses on the following aspects:

MAKING SECURITY TEAMS POWERFUL:

Leveraging a comprehensive and single cloud security platform, Sophos increases productivity. Besides, Workloads, cloud environments, and entitlements management security technologies are all integrated with Sophos Cloud Native Security. It is possible to enhance organizational agility by combining DevOps, communication, SIEM, and workflow. “Also, Your cloud environments need to be tough, hard to compromise, and quick to recover. Our comprehensive and intuitive security and remediation tools can be managed by your security teams or via Managed Services to fast-track your cyber resilience to best meet the security incidents. By leveraging our extended detection and response (XDR) tools, enterprises could identify and stop malware, exploits, misconfigurations, and unusual behaviors.

Further, we make it easy to Hunt for threats, prioritize detections, and automatically connect security events to optimize investigation and response,” says Kris Hagerman, CEO. Sophos clients have found it easy to implement the least privilege across multi-cloud environments and manage identities before they are exploited. With Sophos, it is possible to ensure all identities only carry out actions required for tasks and nothing else. The other feature is visualizing complex, interwoven IAM roles to prevent and highlight over-privileged IAM roles. There will also be enough focus on pinpointing unusual user access locations and patterns to identify misuse of credentials or other theft activities. To defend hybrid environments from network attacks, Sophos combines several top cloud security solutions into a single-edge firewall.

Deployment of several network security products simultaneously with a complete cloud edge firewall solution that includes IPS, ATP, and URL filtering is yet another feature. Their client’s cloud workloads are secured from hackers by Sophos Web Application Firewall (WAF), which provides reverse proxy authentication for safe user access. High availability makes sure users and programs can connect at all times. In dynamic contexts, Sophos UTM Firewall delivers automatic scalability.

“Our flexible approach to cybersecurity deployment and management means optimizing security. Keeping data secure and private while blocking active threats are goals you can easily achieve. Further, we deploy and manage Sophos protection from a single unified console. Sophos can connect you with an experienced Sophos Managed Security Partner. Also, the Sophos professional Team can help with initial deployment. The Sophos Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service can work with your team and Sophos MSP to monitor your environment 24/7/365 and proactively hunt for and remediate threats,” informs the CEO.

BELOW ARE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF SOPHOS CLOUD SECURITY SUMMARIZED:

Access, data, apps, and workloads to the cloud securely, automated threat prevention for public cloud environments proactive security, vulnerability and configuration error prevention Accessible through the AWS and Azure Marketplace managed threat response is available around-theclock to track, assess, and prioritize security issues. Also, it is imperative to mention the utilization of the given security budget to meet the stated consumption requirements set out by the cloud provider.

“Your cloud environments will be robust, difficult to compromise, and easy to recover thanks to Sophos Cloud-Native Security, which combines the technologies required to give that visibility. Sophos Cloud-Native Security, a single integrated solution for AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, combines Sophos Cloud Optix with Sophos Intercept X Advanced for Server XDR,” assures Hagerman.
