Shifting to the Cloud: Addressing Cybersecurity - Aurora IT

Shifting to the Cloud Addressing Cybersecurity
2
Organizations of all kinds continue to undergo a
shift to the cloud as the culture of work
increasingly relies on remote workers. Using
traditional VPNs to access information that is
stored on-premise, has introduced security
vulnerabilities in many cases. For this reason,
organizations are opting to shift this data to
the cloud. The cloud, however, can also
introduce security vulnerabilities, if
necessary, solutions and tools are not in place.
Many security tools that work well for data
stored on-premise will not translate to the
cloud automatically. The Aurora team often recomme
nds
Symantec CASB to extend security protection to
the cloud. What is a CASB? A CASB, or a Cloud
Access Security Broker, is a security broker
that sits between an end-user and the data in the
cloud. It will help govern the use of services
like Teams, Slack, Salesforce, Google Drive, and
other popular cloud services. It will monitor
activity that goes between the cloud and each
user, ensuring that data is not being
compromised. Having improved visibility minimized
the risks associated with storing and sharing
data in the cloud. An essential function of a
CASB is to enforce security policies in the
cloud. Benefits of Symantec CASB Aurora is a
trusted premier partner with Symantec, A Division
of Broadcom with a deep knowledge of the
Symantec security portfolio. The Aurora staff
has expertise in Symantec solutions such as Data
Loss Prevention (DLP), Endpoint Security, Symantec
CASB (Cloud SOC), and more. Each solution has
strong capabilities. One benefit of implementing
Symantec CASB is its ability to integrate with
other Symantec solutions to better protect many
aspects of your organizations environment.
Integrating a CASB with other solutions helps
support continuous risk monitoring, adapting
access control, and user productivity.

Symantecs CASB continuously monitors malware,
compromised accounts, and data loss by gathering
data from the cloud, endpoints, and web
gateways. It will monitor and indicate the risk
associated with each user that accesses the cloud
and enforce policies to these security events.
This solution uses artificial intelligence (AI)
to automate these processes. It will
automatically indicate risks as high risk or low
risk, forcing high-risk users to use
multi-factor authentication (MFA) to ensure that
the right user is accessing the right data at
the right time. Next Level SASE Secure Access
Service Edge (SASE) is a framework that is used
to better protect data in the cloud. It is a
combination of several solutions including CASB,
Web Security, Data Loss Prevention, and more to
provide a more secure and thorough approach to
security in the cloud. To learn more about CASB,
