USER-ACCESS SECURITY

In today's dynamic digital environment, users, applications, and data have become increasingly distributed and mobile.

Security Service Edge (SSE)

In today's dynamic digital environment, users, applications, and data have become increasingly distributed and mobile, challenging traditional enterprise perimeter security. With the emergence of hybrid work environments, users connect from anywhere and from any device, accessing business applications and sensitive data directly. Hence, leading to some challenges as below:

  • Legacy VPNs have often provided poor user experience.
  • Employees are vulnerable to web-based threats such as phishing attacks and ransomware when browsing the internet or simply accessing emails.
  • With data increasingly hosted in SaaS applications or Cloud, organizations need to take extra steps to protect their data.
  • Traditional network architectures routed application traffic to the data center for security inspection, which is no longer practical.
  • Higher CAPEX due to cost associated with Heavy appliances.
  • Managing multiple solutions / vendors: Loosely coupled point products for networking, security, logging and monitoring using different management consoles.

CyShield provides organizations with the full set of Security Service Edge (SSE) solutions that will help with security technologies they need to provide employees, trusted partners and contractors secure remote access to applications, data, tools and other corporate resources, and monitor and track behaviour once users access the network.

  • Firewall as a Service (FWaaS)
  • Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
  • Cloud secure web gateway (SWG)
  • Cloud access security broker (CASB)
  • Remote Browser Isolation (RBI)
  • Data Loss Prevention (DLP).

Access Security

In the face of increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks that exploit compromised user credentials, threat actors employ techniques like phishing, credential stuffing, and brute-force attacks to gain unauthorized access to systems, applications and sensitive data. Hence, Access security has become a critical concern for most of the organizations.

Customers majorly face below challenges in securing their User-Access:

  • Managing User sprawl and Access Creep: As companies grow, the number of users and applications they use multiplies. This makes it difficult to keep track of who has access to what, and for how long. Excess permissions can create vulnerabilities if not properly monitored.
  • Insider Threats: Disgruntled employees or those with malicious intent can be a major security risk. Even trusted users can accidentally expose sensitive data.
  • Phishing and Social Engineering Attacks: Cybercriminals are adept at tricking users into revealing sensitive information or clicking on malicious links.
  • Balancing Security and Usability: Strong security measures can sometimes be inconvenient for users. Finding the right balance between robust security and a user-friendly experience is a constant challenge.  
  • Access Certifications and Reviews: Regularly reviewing and certifying user access privileges to identify and remove excessive/unnecessary permissions.
  • Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC): Defining, implementing and maintaining granular, least-privilege RBAC models aligned to user roles/responsibilities.
  • Access Governance and Auditing: Establishing robust access governance processes, maintaining audit trails, and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Cyshield is working with many enterprises to defend their Users-Access using below solutions:

  • Identity and Access Management (IdAM)
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
  • Single-Sign On
  • Privileged Identity Management (PIM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM)

Email Security

Email has been a primary communication tool in the workplace for more than two decades. More than 333 billion emails are sent and received daily worldwide—and employees get an average of 120 emails a day. This spells opportunity for cybercriminals who use business email compromise attacks, malware, phishing campaigns, and a host of other methods to steal valuable information from businesses.

With over 90% of attacks on organizations starting from a malicious email, cyber criminals that constantly capitalize on the number one attack vector: exploiting human nature and the lack of tight security.

Businesses of all sizes are realizing the importance of prioritizing email security and relying on your built-in security might leave your organization open to risks and threats. CyShield helps organizations with an advanced email security solution that safeguards employee communication and reduces cyberthreats to:

  • Protect a company’s brand, reputation, and bottom line.
  • Email threats can lead to devastating costs, operational disruption, and other severe consequences.
  • Enhance productivity: With a robust email security solution in place, businesses can reduce potential disruptions to operations and downtime because of a cyberattack.
  • An effective solution helps security teams streamline response and stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated threats.
  • Ensure compliance as per various laws and regulations can help circumvent the many intangible costs of a cyberattack such as business disruption, legal fees, regulatory fines.
