Cloud Security Beyond Native Tools: Integrating On-Premises Security Measures

 

Don't Be Cloud-Naive: Extending On-Premises Security to Your Cloud Journey

Migrating to the cloud offers undeniable benefits, but security concerns can hold businesses back. Relying solely on native cloud security tools might not be enough.

A holistic defense strategy requires integrating your existing on-premises security solutions with your cloud environment. This ensures comprehensive protection across your entire IT landscape.

Why Extend On-Premises Security?

• Unified Visibility & Control: Gain a centralized view of security posture across both cloud and on-premises environments.

• Consistent Security Policies: Enforce the same security policies consistently, regardless of location.

• Reduced Complexity: Manage security from a single pane of glass, streamlining operations.

Strategies for Extending Security

Here are key strategies to bridge the security gap between on-premises and cloud:

• Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM): Utilize CSPM tools to continuously monitor and identify security misconfigurations in your cloud environment.

• Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB): Implement a CASB to centrally manage access controls and user behavior across all cloud applications.

• Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Extend your existing DLP solution to the cloud to prevent sensitive data from being accidentally or maliciously leaked.

• Security Information and Event Management (SIEM): Integrate your SIEM with cloud security logs to gain a consolidated view of security events across your entire IT infrastructure.
