The use of cloud and container services delivers an unparalleled ability to bring new products and services to the market rapidly and with great flexibility to meet demand. This agility is often reliant on providing self-service access to developers, which, if not approached properly, can create a loss of control, most often in the form of misconfigurations and hygiene drifts, which are top reasons for security and compliance risks.
Fortunately, there are a multitude of standards and frameworks to help companies establish baseline policies to ensure that they are using the cloud in a secure, compliant, and well-governed fashion.
InsightCloudSec delivers hundreds of out-of-the-box policies that you can use to automate the detection and remediation of policy violations. These policies map back to the major standards and frameworks, including PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS AWS, CIS Microsoft Azure, CIS GCP, CIS Kubernetes, NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, and CSA CCM. You can also modify and create your own policies, and merge or create new compliance packs.
With InsightCloudSec, all changes—no matter how they are implemented (via console, provisioning tools, or programmatically)—are detected through a two-tiered monitoring approach that includes API polling and event-driven harvesting for faster detection of changes and automation in real-time. This allows you to identify misconfigurations and resolve them with automated, real-time remediation.
