The New Cloud Security Stack

A Cloud Security Framework Built
for the New Pace of Business
Security at the Speed of Scale
Balancing security with speed is a classic problem for organizations; protections often seem to
lag behind innovations. And, as organizations accelerate their digital transformation to invest
in cloud migration, those security needs are more pronounced than ever.

We’ve seen this conflict pivot play out in real time. Synergy Research Group reported cloud
spending rose 37% to $29 billion during the first quarter in 2020, and, according to Canalys,
cloud infrastructure spending in the U.S. grew 29% in the first quarter of 2021 to $18.6 billion.

COVID-19 certainly served as a catalyst for expediting digital transformation plans to

accommodate the new distributed workforce. But the rapid adoption of cloud technologies
brought with it a variety of new requirements and challenges which all too often are not met
with updated security protections.

For example, just as our ways of working have changed, compliance standards have evolved
along with them. This has introduced new guidelines for organizations that previously may not
have thought about industry compliance.

These forces of migration, adoption and transformation make the cloud more important
than ever for businesses to address. Yet the same opportunities that make the cloud vital
for business are the same that make it attractive to malicious threat actors. According to
the (ISC)2 2021 Cloud Security Report, 96% of cybersecurity professionals state they are at
least moderately concerned about public cloud security. And it’s for good reason; 80% of
organizations experienced a cloud data breach in the last 18 months.

To balance the requirements of both speed and protection, there is a need for a security
framework that can keep up with—and support—the rapid iteration required of businesses.

Understanding the Cloud Security Need
The decentralization of work as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic marked the beginning of a
significant shift. Prior to the pandemic, only 6% of U.S. workers performed their jobs remotely,
compared to more than 40% today. And with 96% of workers responding favorably to some amount of
remote work, that trend is expected to continue.

Remote work diversifies connectivity, meaning new threats are more easily introduced.
Organizations need tools to not only help navigate the shift, but to also increase protection
against the growing list of risks. These risks include:

a bad actor only needs to successfully impersonate
an employee to gain access to as much data as that

It's clear that today’s connected cloud environment presents many diverse risks, but applying
patchwork solutions is an inefficient, reactive approach. To reap the benefits of the cloud in a
secure way, there needs to be a new holistic security framework that can grow along with an
organization.

What’s Leading to the Creation of a New

Cloud Security Stack?

97% of Organizations Use Public Cloud

97 %
It should come as no surprise that the cloud now dominates
enterprise IT strategies. As referenced above, 97% of organizations
use at least one public cloud, 92% report having a multi-cloud
strategy, and 82% have a hybrid approach that combines public and
private clouds.

This increased cloud adoption supported the shift to remote work

and decentralized employees. In fact, 90% of IT leaders report that
cloud usage during the pandemic was higher than anticipated. Yet
many organizations realized that the rapid shift to cloud-based
tools and solutions increased the threat surface, and they did not
have a solid security strategy in place.

Increased cloud traffic empowers businesses, just as it attracts bad

actors. Managing that flow is the way to avoid collisions between an
organization’s scale and risk.

90% of IT Leaders Rely on Open Source

Software Development

90 %
Just as our ways of working have changed, the work itself has
followed. As most organizations know, open source software comes
with many advantages: it saves time, money and can be used to
better adapt to customer needs. But open source software can’t be
an open door. That’s why an organization needs rigorous clarity on
who it’s letting in––and who it’s keeping out.

 5% of Total Revenue Spent on Compliance

5%
Compliance costs more than just headaches. In 2020, more than
29% of organizations reported that their compliance costs were as
much as 5% of their total revenues, and another 32% were entirely
unsure of what it actually cost them.

With new and evolving regulatory standards, compliance

regulations are more rigorous and complicated than ever. And
an increasing part of compliance regulations includes reporting
requirements around data security.

Take, for example, GDPR. While these data and privacy laws are
specific to the European Union, they can affect your business
anywhere. In fact, under Article 3 of the GDPR, your company has
to weigh GDPR compliance for any data collected of EU citizens,
regardless of where you’re based.

With most companies holding and collecting some amount of

data under the scope of GDPR, the risks (and expenses) of a data
breach or hack are higher than ever, including fines that go up to
4% of a company's revenue. To combat this, companies of all sizes
need to be prepared to meet different compliance standards that
shift over time.

 The Solution

The New Cloud

Security Stack

5 Components of the New Cloud

Security Stack
The security stack is built to handle the current market needs, so the stack needs to evolve
alongside new challenges and innovations. That won’t be simple. As the COVID-19 pandemic
disrupted companies worldwide and expedited new ways of working, safe connectivity became
more important than ever.

This tipping point underscored the need for a new cloud security stack capable of meeting
these new needs. The cloud security stack is comprised of five components: Identity & Access
Management, Zero Trust Network Access, Open Source Security, Cloud Workload Protection,
and Compliance Automation. With each of these components in place, organizations can more
effectively avoid security breaches, data leaks, and targeted attacks while maintaining the
benefits of cloud operations.

4 Traits of the New Cloud Security Stack
Security threats are consistently evolving, requiring CISOs to be flexible to ensure they can
maintain a best-in-class security approach. The four traits listed below provide evaluation
guidelines that ensure an organization’s security solutions integrate with the new cloud
security stack.

protection.

01. Identity & Access Management
Establish Unified Access
Governance for All Business
Applications
IAM solutions help organizations overcome
the employee identification challenge with
efficient multi-factor authentication (MFA) and
single-sign on (SSO) access policies. With IAM,
remote and on-site employees are able to move
freely and securely between critical business
applications.

Most companies experience a huge disconnect on IAM. They operate from a time when usernames
and passwords were acceptable for their security needs, which is insufficient for an environment
with a substantial amount of web-traffic driven by malicious bots. Meanwhile stopgap solutions, like
the infamous CAPTCHA, can slow workers down without doing enough to protect organizations.

Correctly applied, IAM and SAML work together to create SSO policies which operate as a
frictionless single source of truth to identify users at scale. This creates a secure and speedy
working process, enabling organizations to automate role provisioning without giving excessive
permissions and minimizing access for bad actors. Business growth requires more team members
and more accounts, so creating a secure path to onboarding is the easiest way to ensure the
organization can grow without jeopardizing cloud data.

This level of security matters because authentication methods without IAM can often be exploited
by bad actors. Recently, sophisticated phishing campaigns successfully exploited authentication for a
Florida Hospital, holding systems ransom and releasing sensitive data. And a hacker in California was
able to remotely access a waste-treatment plant by impersonating an employee.

In both these cases, authentication was successfully spoofed without much difficulty; simple
usernames and passwords can be easily accessed or stolen. Fortunately, IAM solutions prioritize
security with MFA, ensuring that only those with privileges can access their accounts.

Don’t Fortify, Amplify: The New Cloud Security Stack 9

Critical features of effective IAM solutions include:

Extensive Integrations
To ensure productivity and protection, the ideal IAM solution integrates with
most business applications through SAML or SWA connectivity, while offering
API integrations for any ancillary applications. The ability to sync with employee
directories, such as AD, LDAP, G-Suite, and Office365, supports timely permission
management.

Smart MFA and SSO

Effective IAM solutions reduce authentication friction as much as possible. Smart
MFA features triggered only by anomalous behavior minimize employee disruption,
and SSO that pre-includes all applications used for daily work supports smooth
employee engagement.

Lifecycle Automation
Lifecycle automation enables IT teams to implement workflow-like logic triggered
by changes in employee directories. This will allow permission-related procedures to
automatically roll out upon onboarding, role changes, or offboarding.

02. Zero Trust Network Access
Authenticate Everyone and
Trust No One
Zero trust means taking nothing for granted
and verifying every device, network and user
to minimize the attack surface. In a cloud-
dominant environment where no user should
be blindly trusted, 76% of security leaders agree
that Zero Trust Network Access will simplify their
organization’s security architecture.

In comparison to outdated models that “trust, but verify” users, zero trust architecture instead
requires organizations to actively monitor and validate that a user––and their device––have the
right privileges before allowing connection to any enterprise or cloud assets.

This process isn’t just safer, it’s easier. By applying zero trust, you could create an access portal
that customizes access and permissions for users. This limits user access to only what they need
to do their jobs. And, by linking that portal through SSO, you can link applications to your LDAPl
and have increased transparency. This ensures everyone is who they should be, doing what they
should be.

That’s why enforcement of zero trust policies rely on real-time visibility into user credentials and
attributes. Doing so allows an organization’s security plan to be both proactive and responsive to
a variety of potential threats.

Don’t Fortify, Amplify: The New Cloud Security Stack 11

The principles of effective zero trust solutions include:

Identifying Users and Devices on Network

In a changing permissions world, authenticating users and devices is more important
than ever. Managing and identifying specific users and devices on an organization’s
network can keep it protected from malicious actors seeking access.

Applying Controls to Manage Access

Maintaining limited controls and access points ensures an organization’s team is
empowered to do their work while mitigating the risk of an account becoming an
entry point for an attacker.

Monitoring Network and Device Behavior

Vigilance and surveillance as a best practice keeps the team aware of
patterns. This allows organizations to identify and respond to security
anomalies quickly and effectively.

Innovating for New Threats

Zero trust solutions aren’t stagnant like a firewall. Instead, they’re an application of
best practices with granular precision, built to adapt to a changing environment.

By implementing a zero trust architecture into the cloud security stack, an organization
essentially eliminates any trust with the network. Requiring users to verify who they are (every
time) enhances legitimate application access.

{ Zero trust enforces rigorous authorization policies

through least-privilege access. }

03. Open Source Security

Detect, prioritize, and

remediate open source
vulnerabilities
Open source software is appealing to companies
for its ease-of-use and speed; it’s faster and
cheaper than many alternatives. And, as open
source development ecosystems continue to
grow, organizations are increasingly working
with third-party systems.

Furthermore, numerous security reports point to hackers actively contributing to open-source

projects in order to introduce backdoors to companies using such software.

Since open source work is publicly maintained, no one properly manages the work. The result is
that many open source packages have dependencies, often two or three layers deep. And, despite
the common misconception that the latest version of a project will work perfectly without bugs or
vulnerabilities, we’ve seen time and time again that isn’t the case.

To continue working collaboratively and nimbly in open source workflows, it’s crucial to apply
customized security solutions that continuously monitor and detect open source vulnerabilities.
Doing so allows organizations to track a baseline for safe work while being primed for alerts on any
potential problems.

For example, with open source security solutions in the cloud security stack, organizations can
eliminate potential problems before they emerge by scanning Git repositories, containers, and
infrastructure-as-code prior production.

Furthermore, by integrating open source security throughout the CI/CD pipeline, these scanning
solutions can provide vulnerability scanning and remediation capabilities directly within
developer’s IDEs as they code. This offers unparalleled visibility and clarity for an organization’s
team, creating the ability to automatically scan code-changes as a check-gate.

This proactive measure can shift-left the entire security process before issues snowball, allowing
an organization to reap the benefits of open source work and collaboration with confidence.
Ultimately, it means organizations can move quickly and safely.

Don’t Fortify, Amplify: The New Cloud Security Stack 13

Some critical features of effective open source security
solutions include:
`
Vulnerability Remediation
Finding and fixing vulnerabilities in an organization’s code is key to reaping the
time-saving benefits of open source code. Solutions that can pinpoint the risk while
solving for the problem can operate as a proactive way to source action-ready
information and use it to fix vulnerabilities that may otherwise go undetected.

Container Support
Third-party container technology, like Kubernetes’ base images, can accidentally
include dependency vulnerabilities. Because applications inherit everything that
comes with third-party software––including the vulnerabilities––security solutions
need to be prepared to audit an organization’s dependencies, as well.

Automated Reporting
The security stack should allow an organization to track organizational trends and
vulnerability fix rates across teams and companies to provide real-time insights and
data. Not only does this reduce the burden of management and compliance auditing
reports, but it also provides insight and data to compare against going forward. This
ensures a consistent and clear security report to guide business decisions.

04. Cloud Workload Protection

Secure public cloud

workloads against identity
and access abuse
Much like a Zero Trust approach, solutions like
cloud security posture management (CSPM) and
cloud workload protection platforms (CWPP)
are built to minimize excessive permissions and
detect misconfigurations in an organization’s
cloud infrastructure.

Part of this problem is the order of magnitude of complexities within a cloud environment; the
amount of things that could be misconfigured are enormous. There seems to be a data breach
in the news every day; resources are left with open access to the internet, most commonly S3
buckets and elastic search databases.

With a CWPP in your cloud security stack, you gain a single unified dashboard that provides
visibility into any anomalies across the entire cloud infrastructure. This creates a reinforced
security stack that replaces the need to maintain security across multiple isolated points.

Furthermore, these solutions provide AI-powered detection of any indicators of the access abuses
that might precede a security breach. This is especially crucial given the continuously changing
nature of the cloud; with no central visibility, it can be difficult to track changes (such as
configurations and team collaboration) made by malicious users.

Running against your data against the CIS foundation global standard baseline set of rules can be
tremendously helpful, as well. These rules provide a helpful baseline to help organizations take
sporadic events and build them into a meaningful attack timeline with up-to-the-minute updates.
Worth noting is that these rules are customizable; you can have your environment scanned based
on your own rules, as well.

Automating tools to constantly monitor environments for security or policy violations offers
organizations much-needed security without disrupting the rapid collaboration the cloud
provides.

Don’t Fortify, Amplify: The New Cloud Security Stack 15

Critical features of effective CSPM and CWPP solutions
include:

Proactive, Automated Permission Hardening

Manual permission management at scale is hardly productive. An ideal solution keeps
company assets safe while considerably reducing the security workload.

Consolidated Visibility
Existing platform-specific point security products are ineffective at detecting
complex attacks. A holistic solution can flag anomalies across an organization’s
entire cloud (or multi-cloud) infrastructure in a single dashboard.

AI-Based Anomaly Detection

Most infrastructure attacks are built over time. To outsmart them, CWPP
should quietly connect the dots, surfacing suspicious patterns while
limiting false positive alerts.

Policy Configuration and Agility

Differentiating policy between teams and units is a crucial cloud workload protection
trait. The ability to granularly configure the CWPP decreases false alerts, prioritizes
actual threats, and enables critical workflows to run uninterrupted.

05. Compliance Automation Platform

Maintain a compliance-ready
posture
Compliance automation solutions provide CMDB
and protection services for private customer
information and offer features that automate
compliance-ready reporting.

You can set rules inside your company until

you’re blue in the face; even if you say “don’t
leave an S3 bucket open to the public,” it can
still happen.

That’s why compliance can no longer be something that’s written as a set of rules; your
compliance program needs to be automated.longer be something that’s written as a set of rules;
your compliance program needs to be automated.

Automating your compliance efforts means your environment is being continually scanned, cycling
with active remediation capabilities. Ultimately, doing so translates to better preparedness as it
relates to handling your compliance program with less resource-intensive manual work.

This is especially important as regulations and compliance standards become ubiquitous across
industries and geographies. Understandably, concern is mounting around how best to manage this
extensive and ever-changing landscape. In fact, 69% of executives are not confident that their current
risk management practices will be enough to meet future needs.

That concern resonates in a connected world, where even local compliance shifts like GDPR can
impact your company. Companies need to be prepared not just to meet compliance requirements
but to earn their customers’ trust.

By applying an automated compliance solution in the cloud security stack, an organization can be
automatically monitored for changes in relevant standards, leveraging notifications around any
pertinent changes.

Implementing these features enables an organization to continue its pace of innovation knowing it
can adhere to compliance regulations. This approach reduces time and costs, letting teams move
quickly and securely while meeting compliance.

Don’t Fortify, Amplify: The New Cloud Security Stack 17

Critical features of effective compliance solutions:
`
Continuous Evidence Collection
Automatically collect protected data from enterprise systems and organize them based
on the compliance standard’s format. Traditional evidence collection, normally done at one
point in time, is both time-consuming and inefficient; teams are forced to manually find
information that could quickly become outdated or invalidated quickly. Instead, you need
a continuous compliance solution that can grow and adapt alongside your company for a
solution that doesn’t require manual certification.

Easy Integration
As with many SaaS-based products, integration is key to achieving customer
adoption. Compliance solutions should be built with human-centered design,
enabling both quick implementation and out-of-the-box integrations with common
data-rich applications. By safely working with existing tools and programs, your
compliance solution should be a natural fit into your existing work process.

Gap Analysis
A gap analysis of existing data system practices can produce a simple roadmap
to ensuring compliance with any new regulations. This significantly reduces the
team’s workload while providing a holistic view into the company’s compliance
status on a daily basis. Doing so will ensure you’re always ready to find and
remedy the gaps that could emerge in a changing environment.

Simple Audit Communications

Compliance can be difficult enough without endless loops of access queries for
shared drives. That’s why any solution should provide platform access for the
auditor, granting them the ability to review all evidence and comment in one central,
organized place. This allows the entire audit to be managed from a single platform
without endless emails or chaotic shared drives that can leave compliance gaps.

How the New Cloud Security Stack
Amplifies Business
While protecting customer and proprietary data can help prevent expensive security
breaches–– the average cost of which was $3.86 million in 2020–– the new cloud security stack
also offers multiple benefits in four primary categories: performance, security, cost and
operational.

Performance/Speed Benefits
IAM and ZTNA reduce security friction for employees, thus increasing productivity and satisfaction.

IAM, open source security, compliance automation, and CWP, automate processes to roll out immediately, with no
delay, manual work, or human errors.

ZTNA and CWP are designed to intercept breach attempts extremely fast, with their anomaly detection and correlation
capabilities.

Open source security speeds up the very core of the business, allowing faster product development by the
automated detection of errors and risks even before they make it to the code.

Security Benefits
Enable full visibility into the predominant attack surfaces of cloud enterprises.

Cloud workload protection gives control and manageability over cloud infrastructures and possible misconfigurations.

IAM and ZTNA work as gatekeepers to prevent threats from gaining access to the enterprise network and applications.

Open source security applications eliminate vulnerabilities in code dependencies.

Cost Benefits
Save production resources by providing a holistic solution that secures your nimble way of working.

Open source security solutions immediately save production resources by providing a safer way to engage with
nimble programing.

Cloud workload protection detects and fixes cloud misconfigurations.

Cloud workload protection reduces the costs of added security personnel to monitor malicious activity.
Open source security applications eliminate vulnerabilities in code dependencies.

Additional cost benefits include saving time and resources associated with compliance audits, as well as employee
onboarding/offboarding efforts.

 Operational Benefits
Establish DevOps and DevSecOps by integrating solutions directly into existing workflows for tighter collaboration.

Shift-left security implements stringent protections early in the SDLC. This is done intentionally to ensure security
isn’t an afterthought of design, but rather the foundation on which those projects are built.

Security integrates directly into development and operations workflows, ensuring more opportunities to shift left to
find and fix problems at the earlier stages when they’re six times cheaper to fix.

Compliance solutions reduce the time and effort required across multiple teams by applying automation and
continuous evidence-gathering.

Though each benefit described above is critical, the new cloud security stack provides holistic
benefits to an organization, as well. These include increased focus on strategic initiatives
by establishing a proactive security posture, supporting rapid development processes, and
maintaining regulatory compliance for GDPR, PCI-DSS, and other regulations.
