Rapid cloud adoption has introduced new challenges for IT and security teams to implement consistent, compliant Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) processes across all cloud and on-premises applications.
According to a recent Forrester Consulting research report commissioned by IBM, 78% of security decision-makers plan to implement or are unsure how to implement Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) in the next 12 months. A SASE solution can make a lot of sense for digitally driven organizations where remote employees and partners need faster application access, be that from on-premises based networks or the cloud, using a myriad of devices to connect. SASE is a relatively new framework that is changing the game in terms of bringing networking and network security into a single, cloud-based service model.
Organizations charged with leading a transformation initiative to benefit their bottom line, driving IT efficiencies and increasing security, will likely consider SASE as part of that journey. Clients benefit from extending a zero trust architecture beyond on-premises to cover distributed users and devices that access cloud resources, while providing a seamless, more high-performing user experience with better productivity.
To better understand the benefits, costs, and risks associated with this investment, Forrester interviewed four customers with years of experience using Cloud App Security. Prior to using Cloud App Security, the customers tried to address vulnerabilities with more conventional security suites. However, prior attempts yielded limited success and left customers with low visibility into their data, user behavior, and sensitive data moving onto the cloud. These limitations led to the rise of shadow IT, difficulty recognizing and remediating security threats, and the need to rapidly adapt to new compliance requirements for the cloud. With Cloud App Security, organizations were able to gain visibility across all their native and third-party applications, allowing them to more easily monitor the security and risks associated with their cloud applications and sensitive data. It also improved their ability to detect and remediate incidents, improved compliance, and improved the overall ease of management of their cloud application portfolios. Microsoft aligns these benefits into four key pillars: identity and access management, threat protection, information protection, and cloud security posture management.
While not directly discussed as part of the study, a major future benefit for organizations would be for those organizations that use Cloud App Security to assess their security configurations across their IaaS environments. Doing so will increase the benefits by ensuring organizations can properly monitor and protect their IaaS environments.
To ensure that only authorized personnel can access your application backends and data, Barracuda Web Application Firewall solutions integrate with AD, LDAP, and RADIUS, giving you granular control over which users and groups can access what data. They also secure all the services that rely on ADFS. SAML support provides a seamless single-sign-on (SSO) experience across your on-premises and cloud-hosted applications. Two-factor authentication further enhances security through integrations with RSA SecureID, SMS PASSCODE, Duo, and others.
Traditional security tools and approaches and tools were designed to protect on-premises data centers and endpoints, not cloud native apps and services. With the shift to cloud native technologies, dynamic and ephemeral environments with strong automation, faster release cycles, and modern development practices (e.g., infrastructure as code [IaC], CI/CD pipelines, containers, serverless functions, Kubernetes), those tools fall short.
Running your containers on CaaS is akin to running your virtual machines on IaaS: The primary benefits are speed of deployment and ease of use, as well as the simplicity of the pay-as-you-go cloud model and the aforementioned freedom from vendor lock-in.
MAP is designed to help organizations committed to a migration journey achieve business benefits by migrating existing workloads to AWS. MAP provides consulting support, training and service credits to reduce the risk of migrating to the cloud, and build a strong operational foundation.
Migrating to AWS presents organizations with a transformational opportunity to change the way they do business. This eBook will detail how cloud adoption can deliver significant business benefits.
