CYBERSECURITY
After conducting an analysis of a customer’s current security posture and future plans, StormCloud designs and implements a secure cybersecurity environment using, as needed, solutions available from the major cloud providers, other quality vendors, including:
- Endpoint detection and response
- Malware sandboxes
- Email security
- Antivirus and malware
- Next gen firewalls
- IDS/OPS
- Network security
- Password management
- Vulnerability management
- Penetration management
- SIEM
- Web application security
- Data Loss Prevention
- Identity Access Management & Privileged Access Management
- Encryption tools
- Cloud security
- Mobile security
- Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR/XSOAR)
- Threat intelligence
- Forensics and Incident Response
- DNS security
for robust protection, detection and response capabilities.
Deliverables include documentation and implementation of policies and procedures to ensure that security is managed and maintained into the future, either by StormCloud or by the organization’s CSO and security team.
IDENTITY AND ACCESS
StormCloud embraces the principles of Zero Trust and least privilege access that are realizable using IAM and PAM solutions.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) and its subset, Privileged Access Management (PAM), are cornerstones of cybersecurity, with solutions like Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Intune managing identities and access to endpoints, respectively.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Single Sign-On (SSO), and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) enhance security by ensuring that only authorized users can access system resources.
But, at the same time, IAM and PAM tools can also provide for a positive user experience. Users can access resources effortlessly, reset passwords, and manage their profiles independently, reducing dependency on IT support. Users can be onboarded and onboarded easity but safely.
There are excellent scalable and adaptive IAM tools available through StormCloud that provide centralized access management, robust audit trails and reporting functionalities, allowing organizations to monitor user activities, track changes, and generate compliance reports.
COMPLIANCE
Compliance means meeting or exceeding system and organization control standards established by widely recognized independent non-governmental bodies. The standards are designed to ensure that organizations meet specific requirements relevant to the activity for which the organization is involved. A demonstrated commitment to cybersecurity is common to many of today’s compliance frameworks.
It is difficult, costly and time consuming to achieve compliance attestation, particularly the first time. Failure is costly as the enterprise may be prevented undertaking business important to its success.
In addition to allowing enterprises to pursue opportunities that require it, compliance help enterprises build trust generally with esisting and potential end-customers, partners and even the public. If measures taken to achieve compliance are maintained into the future, the compliance process itself has value for the customer,
For example, a SOC2 journey will include preparation and implementation of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) plan, essential for maintaining operations in the face of disruptive events, with Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) serving as key metrics in the development of such plans. Data recovery and backup plans are crucial for restoring information in the event of data loss, while Data Leak Prevention (DLP) systems protect against data breaches by monitoring, detecting, and blocking sensitive data while in use, in motion, and at rest.
StormCloud guides and helps carry the load during the customer’s journey to compliance with SOC2, PCI DSS, ISO27001, GDPR, HIPAA, HIPAA or HITRUST and other frameworks. This allows the customer to achieve compliance quicker, more efficienty, with less disruption, and with a greater chance of success than going it alone.
