How to get single view, full visibility on your cloud estate
Driven by a global health crisis and the most extensive remote working program the world has ever seen, the adoption of cloud‑based services and platforms has surged during the pandemic. We’ve seen how cloud has served as a business enabler by allowing organizations worldwide to provide new and additional functionality to a remote workforce.
Unfortunately, this wave of often quickly implemented solutions has contributed to the exponential growth and changing nature of the threat landscape. How can you be confident that your cloud‑based estate is sufficiently protected against these existing and emerging threats?
Our research shows an increase in pandemic‑related business email compromises, phishing scams, and credential theft. We also saw escalating nation‑state activity from persistent threat groups earmarking essential services to harvest personal data, intellectual property, and national intelligence. In addition, the number of exposed remote desktop protocol (RDP) and virtual private network (VPN) services has increased dramatically.
As a result, IT teams and associated project coordinators have been scrambling to patch and put solutions and policies in place to protect them. However, malevolent threat actors have been quick to exploit these opportunities and take advantage of the unexpected disruption that has ensued.
