Cloud Security: Visibility and Insight Into Your Cloud Infrastructure

Cloud Security Maturity Model: Vision, Path, Execution

Securing a dynamic cloud environment is no easy task, yet, doing so is an increasingly critical part of ensuring operational resilience. That's because organizations are rapidly moving more data, services and infrastructure to the cloud so they can reap the benefits of cost-savings and scalability and flexibility.

While cloud security best practices are a great place to start building your cloud security program, the reality is some practices can be a bit abstract or ambiguous. As a result, teams spend more time trying to figure out how to implement the recommendation than tackling implementation itself. This creates blind spots across your cloud attack surface.

Explore this white paper to get actionable recommendations that eliminate the guesswork so you can focus on maturing your cloud security program.

• How to assess the maturity level of your cloud security program
• How to set and achieve cloud security goals
• What the Tenable Cloud Security Model is and how it can help mature your security practices

Reducing Cyber Risk from Cloud to Containers

Lessons Learned by Industry Leaders

Do you know how to protect all of your dynamic assets to reduce cyber risk within the cloud?

Tenable connected with 29 global security professionals and posed the question, “How have modern assets like cloud instances, web-based applications, mobile devices, application containers and others affected your security and risk management program?”

Their answers are as varied as their experience, but unifying themes emerged:

• The need to have more collaboration between security professionals and app developers
• More emphasis on continuous scanning value and detection
• Data-centric security strategies

This white paper, which shares almost 30 individual essays, gives insight into lessons they've learned and offers recommendations on how you can decrease your cyber risk to keep your cloud assets safe.

In this white paper, you'll also learn more about how you can:

• Better secure your dynamic IT environment
• Develop a security plan for your cloud environments
• Automate cloud security testing and controls
• Move security to the application layer

SANS White Paper: A Guide to Managing Cloud Security

Get Complete Visibility Into Your Cloud Infrastructure

The highly dynamic nature of the cloud means now, more than ever, it's imperative to adopt cloud security vulnerability and remediation processes that are as agile and efficient as those you have for on-premises assets.

About 41% of organizations, according to a SANS Institute survey, have adapted — or are in the process of adapting — vulnerability management strategies for cloud environments.

While much of what you know about legacy vulnerability management is applicable for the cloud, there are several core differences.

Effective cloud security requires continuous vulnerability assessment, as well as constant attack surface insight and assessment.

This white paper explores the scope of vulnerability and threat management for cloud environments and offers tips about how you can:

• Find vulnerabilities in a hybrid or off-premises model with a cloud-native approach
• Understand the DevOps infrastructure-as-code model
• Evaluate threats and protect your cloud data and cloud assets

What to Look for in a Cloud Vulnerability Management Solution

Critical Factors to Explore to Manage Vulnerabilities in the Cloud

From ease of deployment and maintenance, to scalability and flexibility, an increasing number of organizations are moving their business processes and applications from on-premises to the cloud.

But the speed at which the cloud enables operations to scale and change creates challenges for security teams constantly trying to catch up.

If you're considering a cloud vulnerability management solution, where do you begin and how do you know which solution is right for you?

From setting goals to understanding solution capabilities, this guide will walk you through five key areas, including questions you should ask about product capabilities, coverage and updates.

You can also learn more about how:

• To set cloud security program goals and use them in your solution assessments
• Vulnerability management solutions deliver core capabilities
• A quality cloud vulnerability management solution handles current and emerging threats
• Vulnerability management providers use the cloud and how to keep it secure
