Netskope + AWS - Crest Data Systems improves information sharing and security

With the rise of remote working following the pandemic, meeting these challenges has become more difficult. A distributed workforce requires a distributed security perimeter, which by nature is harder to secure than traditional, centralized office environments.

Crest needed to find a reliable way to protect against data leakage in this new world without affecting the user experience. Indeed, as an AWS shop, Crest was looking for a solution that would work seamlessly with AWS services and empower its people to make the most of these systems.

As Shah explains: “Netskope Cloud Exchange provides powerful integration tools that automate sharing of threat information such as IoCs [indicators of compromise] from Amazon CloudWatch, malicious URLs, malware file hashes, and DLP [data loss prevention] file hashes. CE allows us to distribute this information across our operations in near real-time which we can then consolidate into actionable alerts and notifications.”

Crest has also integrated Netskope CE with Jira, their chosen product management software, which enables the automated generation and mapping of tickets for service issues.

By achieving such deep levels of integration across AWS services, Crest is leveraging the same benefits it extolls to clients; namely, improved efficiency and performance. Doing so, Crest is able to better leverage the potential of AWS services, empowering employees to work optimally while helping to increase the security posture of their business.
