CNAPPs have brought unprecedented visibility into cloud identity and permissions risks, but visibility alone doesn't solve the problem. Thousands of findings (like unused identities, over-permissioned accounts, and lateral movement risks) have been prioritized, but we’re still asking devs to fix these one by one in a process that never brings meaningful risk reduction. Cloud teams are inundated, struggling to remediate these issues while keeping productivity high.

Join us for an insightful webinar where we discuss how to centralize policy control and bulk remediation that will burn down the CNAPP alert queue. We’ll explore:

• Why identity and permission issues pile up despite CNAPP’s insights
• How to cut through the complexity of manual remediation with bulk actions
• Centralizing and giving control back to the cloud team while still ‘shifting left’

Discover practical approaches to operationalize CNAPP findings, enable bulk fixes, and implement least-privilege practices without compromising productivity. 

If you’re ready to transform CNAPP visibility into real risk reduction, this webinar is for you.

In this presentation we explore the Interoperability and Portability (IPY) domain of the Cloud Control Matrix (CCM), which comprises four control specifications aimed at ensuring secure and seamless data exchange across multiple platforms and Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). These controls help Cloud Service Customers (CSCs) avoid vendor lock-in and foster an environment where interoperability and portability are not limited by security concerns.

In the Shared Security Responsibility Model (SSRM), both CSPs and CSCs independently share responsibility for ensuring interoperability and portability in the cloud ecosystem. CSPs are typically responsible for implementing standardized communication protocols, maintaining cross-platform compatibility, and ensuring secure data exchange. CSCs, on the other hand, must leverage these tools for secure data backup, transfer, and restoration, as well as manage the integration of cloud environments. Both parties are responsible for documenting data portability obligations, such as defining data ownership and migration procedures.

This presentation will help you understand how effective interoperability and portability controls contribute to a secure, flexible, and vendor-neutral cloud ecosystem.

In this presentation we explore Universal Endpoint Management (UEM) domain of the Cloud Controls Matrix, which includes fourteen control specifications focused on mitigating risks associated with endpoints, including mobile devices. The primary concerns in endpoint security relate to user behavior and awareness regarding acceptable use policies for devices, whether they are managed, unmanaged, enterprise-owned, or personal.

Under the Shared Security Responsibility Model (SSRM), both Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and Cloud Service Customers (CSCs) have independent yet complementary roles in implementing UEM controls. CSPs are responsible for managing endpoint capabilities, including maintaining inventories, approving acceptable services and applications, and implementing security measures like automatic lock screens, firewalls, anti-malware, and data loss prevention technologies. CSCs, in turn, must securely manage their own devices, ensure compliance with CSP security policies, and protect their data.

Universal Endpoint Management

In this presentation we introduce the Security Incident Management, E-Discovery, and Cloud Forensics (SEF) domain, which comprises eight control specifications critical for managing and responding to security incidents, conducting e-discovery, and performing forensics in the cloud. These controls enable both Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and Cloud Service Customers (CSCs) to detect, analyze, and respond to security incidents in a timely manner, minimizing disruption to business operations.

Under the Shared Security Responsibility Model (SSRM), both CSPs and CSCs are responsible for developing incident response plans, defining roles and responsibilities, implementing incident metrics, reporting to stakeholders, and escalating procedures to efficiently manage security incidents. Collaboration is key, with CSPs offering insights into infrastructure-level causes of incidents, while CSCs provide data, application, and user-specific context for thorough investigation and resolution.

Security Incident Management, E-Discovery, and Cloud Forensics

In this presentation we introduce the Audit and Assurance (A&A) domain within the Cloud Control Matrix (CCM). The A&A domain, consisting of six control specifications, plays a pivotal role in guiding both Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and Cloud Service Customers (CSCs) to build the confidence required for critical decision-making, communication, and reporting. This domain focuses on key processes, including those embedded in the CCM, and ensures they are evaluated through rigorous assessment, verification, and validation activities.
Designed to support the audit management processes of both CSPs and CSCs, the A&A domain facilitates audit planning, risk analysis, security control assessments, and remediation. It further enables effective reporting and evaluation of attestations and supporting evidence, ensuring transparent and reliable oversight.
The Shared Security Responsibility Model (SSRM) clearly outlines the responsibilities of CSPs and CSCs in implementing the A&A controls within cloud environments. Each party is independently accountable for establishing comprehensive audit and assurance policies, conducting regular security assessments, and adhering to relevant standards and regulatory requirements. By aligning their A&A controls with the SSRM, both CSPs and CSCs can independently fulfill their assurance needs over the control processes defined by the CCM.

Audit and Assurance

In this presentation, we introduce the CCM's Application and Interface Security (AIS) domain. With seven control specifications, the AIS domain is focused on securing the software and interfaces used within cloud environments. It helps organizations identify and mitigate risks during the design and development phases of their cloud-based applications.

Effective implementation of cloud security controls in this domain is crucial for Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) to safeguard the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of their applications and interfaces. Ensuring a robust security posture at this level is critical to protecting the entire cloud landscape.

Following the Shared Security Responsibility Model (SSRM), the responsibility for securing cloud infrastructure is divided between CSPs and Cloud Service Customers (CSCs). CSPs must secure the foundational infrastructure by offering secure applications and APIs, adhering to secure coding practices, establishing application security baselines, and conducting automated security testing. They are also responsible for maintaining secure runtime environments. On the other hand, CSCs are tasked with securing their applications and interfaces, ensuring proper configuration, upgrading systems as needed, and integrating security measures into new versions of applications in line with best practices and the chosen cloud deployment model.

When both CSPs and CSCs align their efforts within the AIS domain, they help create a more secure cloud environment. This reduces the risk of application vulnerabilities and strengthens the confidentiality and integrity of data. Collaboration between the two parties fosters improved communication, enabling quicker responses to emerging threats and more efficient incident resolution.
