Cloudrise tackles cloud configurations, compliance, and DLP

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 AWS 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 laptops and their web traffic is evaluated against Cloudrise policies for DLP, threat protection, and real-time inline cloud access security broker (CASB) protection. In addition, Cloudrise has API integrations established with Microsoft Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams to monitor for external sharing of files from those environments in accordance with data protection policies.

Cloud storage data protection: Cloudrise uses Netskope Storage Scan to discover and monitor sensitive data and prevent regulated data from being stored inappropriately. The company uses predefined DLP profiles to detect specific content, such as PII, payment card industry data, and protected health information stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) buckets. Storage Scan policies can also be shared across other SaaS storage applications such as Box, OneDrive, and many others.

Information sharing improves security posture: Cloudrise also deployed Netskope Cloud Exchange to ingest event streaming logs into their SIEM and automate multi-directional IOC sharing. A container-based solution that runs on AWS Fargate, Cloud Exchange provides powerful integration tools to improve security posture and reduce TCO by ingesting and sharing information with AWS services such as AWS CloudTrail, AWS CloudWatch, and other services and security tools.
