Cloudrise gains visibility, real-time data and threat protection with Netskope for AWS

Continuous security assessment: Cloudrise currently develops its platform on AWS and uses Netskope to scan the AWS environment for security areas of improvement against the Amazon Web Services CIS Benchmarks and Netskope’s AWS Security Best Practices. Netskope sends alerts when misconfigurations are detected. This continuous assessment provides Cloudrise with a unified view of inventory, configuration, and compliance of resources in the AWS cloud. The company performs regular security assessment scans of the AWS environment to ensure that configurations are optimized.

Real-time activity control: With Netskope, the IT services firm has real-time visibility and control of activities and creates policies that prohibit data exfiltration from managed to unmanaged storage buckets, protecting the company from accidental or malicious insider behavior. All company employees have the Netskope client installed on their laptop and their web traffic is evaluated against Cloudrise policies for DLP, Threat Protection, and cloud access security broker (CASB) real-time protection. In addition, Cloudrise has API integrations established with Microsoft Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams in order to monitor for external sharing of files from those environments in accordance with protection policies.

Cloud storage data protection: Cloudrise ensures that sensitive data is monitored and prevents unauthorized regulated data from being stored inappropriately. The company can use predefined DLP profiles to detect specific content, such as PII, payment card industry data, and protected health information. Furthermore, Netskope’s Storage Scan policies can be shared across Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) buckets as well as other SaaS products, such as Box, Drive, and OneDrive, plus many other applications.
