Quality workload cloud security tips and tricks{||| today| right now| 2022| from SonraiSecurity? Complex permission chains have become a very attractive attack vector. Knowing what can access what requires a continuous, unified graph of activity, privileges, and potential access. Sonrai is purpose-built to understand every identity’s effective permissions and enforce least privilege. Sonrai’s graph will map every permission, no matter how complex, and is the only CIEM platform that achieves this. A simple “no” answer to “is my datastore public?” used to be good enough for point-in-time CSPM solutions. Today’s dynamic clouds are much more complex than that. Periodic checks don’t support modern security posture anymore. Find extra details at Least privilege. Custom to your cloud: Sonrai organizes your cloud by team and workload importance, right-sizing policies for each environment and allowing you to route issues to the relevant people.

Sonrai automatically locates, classifies, and tags data. Use prebuilt configurations that recognize common PII and sensitive data formats (such as credit card numbers, magnetic strip numbers, health claim numbers, etc), or build your own customized tagging scheme using classification bots. Get ready for always-on activity and advanced critical resource monitoring that secures data at rest and in transit – throughout its full lifecycle. See into every database and secret vault.

That cloud security is a growing concern and that identities (specifically, non-person identities) are a critical factor of it is not surprising to us at all. To give an example of scale, Sonrai measures 30,000 unique permissions across all three major clouds with 17 new permissions being added every day. Think about that, with the rapid growth both in the usage of the cloud, and the complexity of Identity Management, how can even the most well-funded teams keep up? They don’t, and often times they operate with significant risks in their cloud, to which they are completely blind.

Detect drift from frameworks and best practices: With a full inventory view continuously updated, Sonrai lets you know when your cloud posture is drifting from where you want it, using pre-loaded external frameworks or set custom objectives. Take immediate action on any deviation. Things change quickly in the cloud. Sonrai enables DevOps, DevSecOps, security, and audit teams to ensure that controls are consistently functional and effective at every moment. If any deviations are detected, Sonrai alerts the right team so they can take immediate action to resolve the issue.

Misconfigurations and gaps in platform best practices remain the leading cause of data exposure. Standard static snapshots of cloud security posture often miss ephemeral infrastructure that’s out of compliance between scans every day, without security teams ever even knowing it. Sonrai provides enterprises with continuous monitoring and smart automation to deploy policies with precision and avoid these issues. Datastores, VMs, identities, databases, key vaults, and more — Sonrai’s best-in-class API inspection and integrations into secret stores provide a comprehensive view of what’s in your cloud, where it is, and who’s accessing it.
