WithSecure has expanded its existing WithSecure Elements endpoint security platform with a Cloud Security Posture Management module. This module tests used IaaS platforms for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations to prevent potential security risks.
The arrival of the new Cloud Security Posture Management module for the WithSecure Elements endpoint security platform should help companies to better secure their IaaS environments and thus reduce the risk of breaches.
According to the Finnish security specialist, users of these services are increasingly experiencing security issues due to incorrect configurations of their IaaS platforms.
Characteristics
The module initially supports AWS and Microsoft Azure and identifies and prioritizes misconfigurations based on risk levels. The tool indicates possible solutions to these problems, such as very “open” IAM privileges, unencrypted data at rest, cloud instances with public IP addresses, and whether logging is enabled for incident investigation and for existing and new cloud security problems.
Users gain access to the security status of their IaaS environments via a dashboard. This information is complemented by endpoint security, protection for collaboration environments, and products for vulnerability management.
Complementary Services
They can also use the expertise of consultants and additional research to check whether findings are in line with threat models and really add security value. In addition, the solution meets various regulations and standards for compliance.
The Cloud Security Posture Management module for WithSecure Elements can also be offered by partners, such as MSPs and MSSPs, as a managed service to their end customers.
