QUICKLY FIND AND FIX ISSUES
Cloud Security Operations
With FireMon, you get cloud security solutions that break down barriers between
development, security, and operations teams, enabling everyone to become an
active defender of your environment.
Monitor, Alert, and Respond to Security Risk in Your Cloud Infrastructure
With thousands (or tens of thousands) of resources across multiple clouds, effective cloud cybersecurity starts by ensuring all those resources and services maintain a strong security posture in accordance to security best practices. As [Gartner believes], “Nearly all successful attacks on cloud services are the result of customer misconfiguration, mismanagement and mistakes.” But you don’t have the option to make mistakes in your cloud security operations.
Your network can be exploited in seconds, not minutes. You need the security tools and resources to continuously monitor your cloud environments to improve visibility and control them.
CRITICAL ISSUES TO THE RIGHT TEAMS
Optimize Response
Cloud exploits happen in seconds, not minutes. You can’t wait hours or even days for security teams to sift through logs to find high-priority problems and get them to the right team for quick resolution.
FireMon’s Cloud Defense platform delivers:
- Real-time event analysis and intelligent routing of high-priority events
- Solution recommendations and 1-click remediation options provided with alerts
- Alerts sent directly using existing tools including Slack, Teams, and Jira
IMMEDIATE VISIBILITY OF RISKS AND THREATS
Continuous Risk Assessment
As cloud computing adoption grows and the scale and complexity of those environments continue to expand, maintaining control of your data security is both critical and difficult. A pivotal first step is to understand the current state, identify the gaps, and ultimately fix the issues that pose a risk to your data and applications.
FireMon automates these processes with hundreds of compliance tools to ensure your enterprise applies the best security practices:
- Support for common compliance standards, including CIS and PCI DSS
- Single view of compliance across the entire organization across multiple cloud accounts
- Real-time access control violation notifications
- Comprehensive reporting and dashboards
- Highly customizable to support the assessment needs of any organization
CONTEXT, GUIDANCE, AND PREVENTION
Automatic Enforcement
Automated guardrails ensure cloud security operations best practices are enforced consistently and continuously. Without guardrails, the scale and complexity inherent in multiple teams managing multiple cloud environments quickly lead to spiraling costs, inconsistent configurations, and increased risk.
The FireMon Cloud Defense solution lets you:
- Follow security guidelines and benchmarks from organizations like CIS, NIST and AWS across all your cloud accounts and providers
- Ensure standard functions like monitoring/logging, identity and access management (IAM), and backup occur predictably and consistently
- Keep pace by ensuring cloud resources always adhere to policies and best practices regardless of how many teams make changes
- Fix issues automatically with policy violation alerts that are intelligently routed with the ability to respond embedded in the alert itself
Frequently Asked Questions
How Does the Process Differ Between Cloud Security vs Traditional Network Security?
Cloud security operations differ from traditional network security by focusing on dynamic, scalable environments where automation and continuous monitoring are essential. Unlike static, perimeter-based defenses, cloud security operations must protect data across distributed cloud resources, ensuring compliance, enforcing security policies in real time, and mitigating misconfigurations that could lead to breaches.
What Security Standards Should My Cloud Environment Need to Meet?
Your cloud environment should meet industry-recognized security standards to ensure compliance and protect data. Key frameworks include CIS Benchmarks, NIST, PCI DSS,ISO 27001, and SOC 2. FireMon’s cloud security operations help enforce these standards, ensuring continuous compliance and risk mitigation across all your cloud accounts and providers.
How Does Automation Enhance Cloud-Native Security Operations?
Automation enhances cloud-native security operations by enabling real-time threat detection, consistently enforcing network security policies, and reducing human error. Automated guardrails ensure compliance with industry standards, while intelligent alerts and one-click remediation streamline response times. FireMon’s cloud security operations leverage automation to protect data, optimize incident response, and maintain continuous risk assessment.
What Are the Top Cloud Security Features Enterprises Need to Protect their Environments?
Enterprises need cloud security solutions that provide real-time monitoring, automated compliance enforcement, intelligent threat detection, and incident response capabilities. Key features include continuous risk assessment, policy enforcement with automated guardrails, access control management, and integration with existing security tools to protect data and maintain a strong security posture across hybrid cloud environments.
