Tags Share this article 2/3/20 Published AlgoSec’s Integration with ServiceNow allows AlgoSec users to automate security change management and accelerate application deployments within their existing ServiceNow platform It isn’t easy for organizations to get holistic visibility and management across their increasingly complex, hybrid network environments. Application owners need to make changes to existing applications or launch new ones quickly to drive the business. Meanwhile, IT and security teams must maintain security, reduce the risk of outages and misconfigurations, and meet audit and compliance demands. It’s a difficult balance to achieve. In our 2019 cloud security survey , a lack of visibility into their entire network estate and seamless management of cloud and on-prem environments were two of the biggest challenges cited by organizations. Over 40% also reported having a network or application outage, with the leading cause being operational or human errors in making changes. So robust network security management and automation of processes are increasingly mission-critical. To manage network security changes efficiently, application owners prefer to use the familiar tools and workflows that they already know, while security owners need to understand the business context of the policies to ensure that they are making the right decisions to protect the organization’s assets. AlgoSec’s integration with ServiceNow’s IT Service Management solution allows these different stakeholders to share a single management. This bridges the gap between application and security teams and gives them both a holistic view of security, risk and compliance across their entire network environment. This, in turn, accelerates application delivery and strengthens the organization’s security and compliance postures. By integrating the AlgoSec Security Management Suite with ServiceNow, organizations can automate and enrich security policy change management while remaining entirely within the tool their team is already using, with the added benefit of business context. The solution works seamlessly with existing processes and workflows, which helps accelerate the rate of adoption across entire networks. Automating change management processes Making a single change in a complex enterprise environment could take days or even weeks. Using intelligent, highly customizable workflows, AlgoSec automates the entire security policy change process – from planning and design through to submission, proactive risk analysis, implementation, validation and auditing – all with zero-touch, enabling organizations to reduce change request processing times to minutes. By working with the tools that your organization is already familiar with, you don’t need to learn new workflows and user interfaces. Your application and IT teams can continue to use the tools they already know, and encourage organizational buy-in for automated network security policy change management.

Hybrid Cloud Security Management Deconstructing the Complexity of Managing Hybrid Cloud Security Tsippi Dach 2 min read Tsippi Dach Short bio about author here Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Vitae donec tincidunt elementum quam laoreet duis sit enim. Duis mattis velit sit leo diam. Tags Share this article 4/4/22 Published The move from traditional data centers to a hybrid cloud network environment has revolutionized the way enterprises construct their networks, allowing them to reduce hardware and operational costs, scale per business needs and be more agile. When enterprises choose to implement a hybrid cloud model, security is often one of the primary concerns. The additional complexity associated with a hybrid cloud environment can, in turn, make securing resources to a single standard extremely challenging. This is especially true when it comes to managing the behavioral and policy nuances of business applications . Moreover, hybrid cloud security presents an even greater challenge when organizations are unable to fully control the lifecycle of the public cloud services they are using. For instance, when an organization is only responsible for hosting a portion of its business-critical workloads on the public cloud and has little to no control over the hosting provider, it is unlikely to be able to enforce consistent security standards across both environments. Managing hybrid cloud security Hybrid cloud security requires an extended period of planning and investment for enterprises to become secure. This is because hybrid cloud environments are inherently complex and typically involve multiple providers. To effectively manage these complex environments, organizations will require a comprehensive approach to security that addresses each of the following challenges: Strategic planning and oversight : Policy design and enforcement across hybrid clouds Managing multiple vendor relationships and third-party security controls : Cloud infrastructure security controls, security products provided by cloud and third-party providers and third-party on-premise security vendor products. Managing security-enabling technologies in multiple environments : on-premise, public cloud and private cloud. Managing multiple stakeholders : CISO, IT/Network Security, SecOps, DevOps and Cloud teams. Workflow automation : Auto responding to changing business demands requiring provisioning of policy changes automatically and securely across the hybrid cloud estate. Optimizing security and agility : Aligning risk tolerance with the DevOps teams to manage business application security and connectivity. With these challenges in mind, here are 5 steps you can take to effectively address hybrid cloud security challenges. Step 1. Define the security objectives A holistic approach to high availability is focused on the two critical elements of any hybrid cloud environment: technology and processes. Defining a holistic strategy in a hybrid cloud environment has these advantages: Improved operational availability : Ensure continuous application connectivity, data, and system availability across the hybrid estate. Reduced risk : Understand threats to business continuity from natural disasters or facility disruptions. Better recovery : Maintain data consistency by mirroring critical data between primary locations in case of failure at one site through multiple backup sites. Step 2. Visualize the entire network topology The biggest potential point of failure for hybrid cloud deployment is where the public cloud and private environment offerings meet. This can result in a visual gap often due to disparities between in-house security protocols and third-party security standards, precluding SecOps teams from securing the connectivity of business applications. The solution lies in gaining complete visibility across the entire hybrid cloud estate. This requires having the right solution in place that can help SecOps teams discover, track and migrate application connectivity without regard for the underlying infrastructure. Step 3. Use automation for adaptability and scalability The ability to adapt and scale on demand is one of the most significant advantages of a hybrid cloud environment. Invariably, when considering the range of benefits of a hybrid cloud, it is difficult to conceptualize the power of scaling on demand. Still, enterprises can enjoy tremendous benefits when they correctly implement automation that can respond on-demand to necessary changes. With the right change automation solution, change requests can be easily defined and pushed through the workflow without disrupting the existing network security policy rules or introducing new potential risks. Step 4. Minimize the learning curb According to a 2021 Global Knowledge and IT Skills report , 76% of IT decision-makers experience critical skills gaps in their teams. Hybrid cloud deployment is a complicated process, with the largest potential point of failure being where in-house security protocols and third-party standards interact. If this gap is not closed, malicious actors or malware could slip through it. Meeting this challenge requires a unification of all provisions made to policy changes so that SecOps teams can become familiar with them, regardless of any new device additions to the network security infrastructure. This would be applicable to provisions associated with policy changes across all firewalls, segments, zones, micro‐segments, security groups and zones, and within each business application. Step 5. Get compliant Compliance cannot be guaranteed when the enterprise cannot monitor all vendors and platforms or enforce their policies in a standard manner. This can be especially challenging when attempting to apply compliance standardizations across an infrastructure that consists of a multi-vendor hybrid network environment. To address this issue, enterprises must get their SecOps teams to shift their focus away from pure technology management and toward a larger scale view that ensures that their network security policies consistently comply with regulatory requirements across the entire hybrid cloud estate. Summary Hybrid cloud security presents a significant—and often overlooked—challenge for enterprises. This is because hybrid cloud environments are inherently complex, involving multiple providers, and impact how enterprises manage their business applications and overall IT assets.

Understand how to achieve and maintain firewall compliance with ISO/IEC 27001. Learn key requirements, best practices, and how to strengthen your overall security posture. Firewall ISO compliance: ISO/IEC 27001 explained Introductory prologue IT organizations and those dealing with digital assets often face many information security challenges. They must protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, as a crack in security can result in unimaginable losses. To keep information security risks minimal and optimize protection for organizations, ISO/IEC 27001 compliance was designed. What is ISO/IEC 27001 compliance? How does it work, and why does it matter? Read on to uncover answers to all your questions and more in this guide. Schedule a Demo What Is ISO/IEC 27001? ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally accepted standard for data security. It is one of the standards jointly published by the ISO (International Standardization Organization) and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) in 2015. ISO/IEC 27001 aims to provide organizations with a framework for information security management, thereby protecting digital assets. Implementing the standard helps organizations minimize and effectively manage information security risks, such as hacks, data leaks or theft, and cyber attacks. Digital assets like intellectual property, software, employee information, and personal data are often a target for malicious actors. And that’s why asset management is crucial to companies and digital service providers. It demonstrates that the certified organization’s information security system is efficient as it follows the best practice. Any ISO/IEC 27001-certified organization can display its certification online (e.g., on its website, social media platforms, etc.) and offline. As a result, they get the trust and respect they deserve from partners, investors, customers, and other organizations. Schedule a Demo Evolution of ISO/IEC 27001 The International Standardization Organization (ISO) is a global federation of national standards bodies established in 1947. It is a leading organization that develops standards for ensuring the security of business systems. Since its emergence, ISO has published several standards, such as: ISO 27000 – Information Security Management Systems ISO 22301 – Business Continuity ISO 14000 – Environmental Management System ISO 45001 – Occupational Health and Safety ISO 9000 – Quality Management System etc. Although ISO/IEC 27001 was officially published in 2005, ISO had been providing measures for protecting digital systems and information before then. The rapid spread of the internet in the 1990s gave rise to the need for data security to prevent sensitive data from getting into the wrong hands. ISO 27001 was the first standard among the ISO 27000 series of standards for cybersecurity. Since its release, the standard has undergone revisions to tackle new and evolving cyber threats in the industry. The first revision took place in October 2013, when new controls were introduced, and the total controls numbered up to 114. This version is referred to as ISO/IEC 27001:2013 version. The second and latest revision of ISO/ICE 27001 was published in 2022 and enumerates 93 controls grouped into four sections. This revision was initially referred to as ISO/IEC 27001:2022 but is now known as ISO 27001. Another notable development in the latest version is the change in title. The new version’s complete title is – ISO 27001 (i.e., ISO/IEC 27001:2022) Information Security, Cybersecurity and Privacy Protection. Schedule a Demo Business Benefits of ISO/IEC 27001 Achieving ISO/IEC 27001 certification offers organizations several business benefits, especially for service providers handling people’s sensitive financial and personal data. Examples of such organizations are insurance companies, banks, health organizations, and financial institutions. Some of the business benefits of ISO 27001 are: 1. It prevents financial penalties and losses from data breaches Organizations that do not comply with the global security standard are at great risk of a data breach. Data breaches often attract financial penalties and cause companies to lose significant amounts. By implementing the best network security practices, organizations can prevent unnecessary financial losses and record more significant revenue in the long run. 2. It protects and enhances a company’s reputation. Partners, investors, and customers often prefer companies with a good reputation for handling data. In fact, the World Economic Forum states that reputation affects a quarter of a company’s market value. ISO/IEC 27001 certification can help businesses with an existing reputation to preserve their image. Companies with a previous record of security challenges can enhance their reputation and earn the trust and respect of others by becoming certified too. 3. Wins new business and sharpens competitive edge Certified companies stand a better chance of winning new businesses and recording more sales and profits than their competitors. That’s because clients want to feel safe knowing their data enjoy maximum protection. Also, certain organizations must attain other certifications like GDPR, HIPAA, NIST, etc., before commencing operation. And having ISO certification makes it easier to achieve such requirements. One major indicator that an organization can be trusted for security management is acquiring a worldwide certification. It sharpens its competitive advantage and propels the brand way ahead of others. 4. Improves structure and focus As businesses expand, new responsibilities arise, and it can be challenging to determine who should be responsible for what. But with ISO 27001 compliance, companies will have a clear structure to mirror. From authentication to network traffic management, the standard has an outlined structure that companies can apply to establish robust operations security. As a result, they can tackle rising needs while staying focused and productive. 5. It reduces the need for frequent audits. Organizations usually spend heavily performing frequent internal and external audits to generate valuable data about the state of their security. The data is deployed to improve cybersecurity so that threat intelligence and other security aspects are optimized. And even though it costs more and wastes more time, it doesn’t guarantee as much protection as implementing ISO 27001 standard. By becoming a certified name, companies can rest assured that the best cybersecurity practices protect them against attacks. Plus, frequent audits won’t be needed, thus saving cost and time. Schedule a Demo ISO/IEC 27001 Compliance Organizations looking to achieve ISO/IEC 27001 compliance must ensure the following: 1. Clearly Outline the Risk Assessment Process Develop your risk assessment process to detect vulnerabilities. State the categories of risks your organization is facing Outline your approach to tackle vulnerabilities. 2. Make Sure Executives Set the Tone Top management must be involved in the information security program. They should show financial support and be available to make strategic decisions that will help build robust security. Senior management should also conduct frequent assessments of the company’s ISMS to ensure it’s in sync with the globally agreed security standard. 3. Design an Information Security Policy (ISP) An ISP essentially functions to ensure that all the users and networks of your organization’s IT structure stick with the standard practices of digital data storage. You must design an effective ISP to achieve compliance as it governs information protection. Your ISP should encompass the A to Z of your organization’s IT security, including cloud security. You need to state who will be responsible for implementing the designed policy. 4. Write Out Your Statement of Applicability (SoA) Your SoA should carry core information about your ISMS. It should state the controls that your organization regards necessary to combat information security risks. It should document the controls that were not applied The SoA should only be shared with the certification body. 5. Create Your Risk Management Strategy Develop an effective risk management plan to address the possible risks of your chosen security controls. Ensure there’s an efficient security operations center (soc) to help detect cyber threats and forward notifications to the right systems. Design an information security incident management strategy to respond during threat detection. State who will implement specific security controls, how, and when they will deploy them. Schedule a Demo FAQs What does ISO/IEC 27001 stand for? ISO stands for International Standardization Organization, while IEC represents International Electrotechnical Commission. ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally accepted standard for information security management, which ISO and IEC first created. What are the ISO 27001 Requirements? Every organization looking to apply for certification must prepare themselves and ensure to meet the requirements. These requirements are summarized in Clauses 4.1 to 10.2 below: 4.1 Understanding the organization and its context 4.2 Understanding the needs and expectations of interested parties 4.3 Determining the scope of the ISMS 4.4 Information security management system (ISMS) 5.1 Leadership and commitment 5.2 Information Security Policy 5.3 Organisational roles, responsibilities, and authorities 6.1 Actions to address risks and opportunities 6.2 Information security objectives and planning to achieve them 7.1 Resources 7.2 Competence 7.3 Awareness 7.4 Communication 7.5 Documented information 8.1 Operational planning and control 8.2 Information security risk assessment 8.3 Information security risk treatment 9.1 Monitoring, measurement, analysis, and evaluation 9.2 Internal audit 9.3 Management review 10.1 Nonconformity and corrective action 10.2 Continual improvement What are the ISO/IEC 27001 controls? The latest version of ISO 27001 Annex A enumerates 93 security controls divided into four sections or themes. The ISO 27001 controls are designed to simplify information security management such that digital assets get the best protection against security threats. These 4 sections are labelled A5 to A8 and are as follows: A.5 Organizational controls – containing 37 controls A.6 People controls – containing 8 controls A.7 Physical controls – containing 14 controls A.8 Technological controls – containing 34 controls How Does ISO/IEC 27001 ensure data protection? ISO/IEC 27001 ensures data protection by providing a framework through which companies can store sensitive data and have full access control. This standard can be adapted to suit each organization’s specific needs and structure, thereby offering optimized protection. ISO/IEC 27001 aims to ascertain that three core information security aspects are taken care of, which are: Confidentiality: this guarantees that only authorized individuals can access information. Also, because organizations deal with different categories of data, each employee must only be given the degree of access required to execute their tasks efficiently. Integrity: this ensures that only authorized individuals can change information on the system. So even in the event of a security breach, the risks are minimal. This is due to the change management plan that ensures unauthorized persons can not alter information. Availability: information security becomes a problem if the secured information isn’t accessible when needed. ISO 27001 enables authorized persons to have access to information whenever required to ensure that business operations are uninterrupted. By maintaining these guidelines, companies can put in place an effective information security system and risk management plan to prevent data leaks, theft, or hacks. How does my firewall management help with ISO 27001? Firewalls are the software in your organization’s IT structure managing the connection between different networks. Effective firewall management can help in designing the right Information Security Policy (ISP). In turn, your organization will be able to achieve ISO 27001 compliance. Thus, your firewall policies can help with ISO 27001 by enabling organizations to design an Information Security Policy that agrees with the standard required for compliance. What is the Importance of ISO 27001 Certification, and how can I gain it? ISO 27001 certification offers several advantages to businesses and organizations. It demonstrates to partners, investors, and customers that the certified business has a reliable information security management system, thus winning their trust. Also, it enhances communications security so that third parties do not interfere with your company’s operating system. You also get to reduce the risk of security failure, saving you from financial losses and penalties.

Yet, such undesirable circumstances can be avoided by understanding common misconfiguration errors and mitigating them before malicious actors can exploit them. Ava Chawla, AlgoSec’s Global Head of Cloud Security provides some valuable insights on cloud misconfigurations and offers useful tips on how to avoid them It may come as a surprise to some, but did you know that misconfigurations were the #1 cause of cloud-security incidents in 2021 and were also responsible for 65-70% of cloud-security challenges in 2020? Cloud Misconfigurations: The Insidious yet Serious Threat Clearly, misconfigurations are a common cause of security loopholes. These security loopholes – usually the result of oversights, errors, or poor configuration choices by inexperienced or careless users – often result in cyberattacks and the exposure of mission-critical information. Most cloud environments are saturated with misconfigurations, with 99% of them going unseen. As a result, they become vulnerable to many cyberthreats, including malware, ransomware, and insider threats. Threat actors may also exploit the vulnerabilities caused by misconfigurations to access enterprise networks, compromise assets, or exfiltrate sensitive data. So why are cloud misconfigurations such a serious threat in cloud environments? And, how can your organization avoid these errors and keep your cloud environment safe from the bad guys? Jarring Data Breaches Resulting from Cloud Misconfigurations: More than Food for Thought In 2018 and 2019 , misconfigurations caused hundreds of data breaches that cost companies a whopping $5 trillion. Threat actors also took advantage of misconfigurations to attack many organizations in 2020. An exposed database is a perfect example of how misconfiguration errors like forgetting to password-protect critical cloud assets can create huge security risks for companies. In early 2020, a database belonging to cosmetics giant Estée Lauder that contained over 440 million records ended up online – all because it was not password-protected. How bad was this oversight? It allowed malicious actors to access its sensitive contents, such as email addresses, middleware records, references to internal documents, and information about company IP addresses and ports. And misconfiguration-related breaches didn’t stop in 2021. In May of that year, Cognyte left a database unsecured, leading to the online exposure of 5 billion records, including names, passwords, and email addresses. The incident is particularly ironic because Cognyte is a cyber-intelligence service that alerts users to potential data breaches. So how can your organization avoid suffering the same fates as Estée Lauder and Cognyte? By preventing misconfiguration errors. How to Eliminate Common Misconfiguration Errors? 1) One of the most common cloud misconfiguration errors is not implementing monitoring . A failure to monitor the cloud environment creates huge security risks because the organization can’t even know that there’s a threat, much less mitigate it. Solution: By integrating monitoring and logging tools into your entire cloud estate, you can keep an eye on all the activity happening within it. More importantly, you can identify suspicious or malicious actions, and act early to mitigate threats and prevent serious security incidents. An example of a monitoring tool is CloudTrail in the AWS Cloud. 2) The second-biggest misconfiguration risk stems from overly permissive access settings. Enterprise teams frequently forget to change the default settings or make the settings overly-permissive, resulting in critical assets being exposed to the Internet and to threat actors lurking in cyberspace. 3) Another misconfiguration mistake is mismanaging identity and access management (IAM) roles and permissions. Unrestricted access, particularly admin-level access, significantly increases the probability of breaches. The compromise of this user could allow a malicious actor to exploit the entire network and its sensitive data. 4) Mismanaged secrets are another common misconfiguration mistake that can lead to attacks and breaches. Secrets like passwords, API keys, encryption keys, and access tokens are the keys to your (cloud) kingdom, and their compromise or theft can severely damage your enterprise. Solution: You can avoid mistakes #2, #3 and #4 by granting least-privilege access (also known as the principle of least privilege) and implementing detailed security policies, standards, and procedures for IAM, secrets management, remote access, etc. 5) The fifth misconfiguration error is not patching vulnerabilities. Patch management pitfalls include pushing out updates too quickly and devices going offline. But the most significant risk when patch management doesn’t take place, not surprisingly, is leaving a system vulnerable to malicious actors. Solution: Proactively scanning your cloud environment is vital to find the vulnerabilities that can be exploited by threat actors to elevate their privileges in your network and execute remote attacks. Conclusion and Next Steps Cloud misconfigurations are the most common cause of security incidents in the cloud. Fortunately, most of them are avoidable. If you’ve found this action-packed guide a valuable read, then you’re on the right path to reaching a solution that includes protecting your most valuable assets, securing the connectivity of your most critical business applications, and streamlining the management of your entire multi cloud environment.
