An improved security status reduces cyber risks, also with ransomware. Cohesity launches Security Advisor that scans the customer's Cohesity environment, including numerous security configurations.
Cohesity, a leading provider of data management solutions, has launched Security Advisor. This extension of the threat defense architecture offers companies an easy way to improve their security posture in the face of sophisticated cyberattacks. You can use it to reduce human errors and increase the resilience of your surroundings, which are managed via the Cohesity Helios data platform.
Security Advisor scans security configurations
Security Advisor scans the customer's cohesity environment, including numerous security configurations. The solution takes into account many factors such as access control, audit logs and encryption, which are crucial for protecting the data cluster. Customers are given a rating of how they compare against Cohesity's best practice recommendations. In addition, you will learn how to approach potential risks and how to protect your platform and data from malicious actors - both internal and external.
"Organizations use many tools to create and manage data," said Brian Spanswick, Cohesity's chief information security officer. “The different security functions make it difficult to check all settings and to control access to all technologies. This lack of transparency and control makes IT environments vulnerable to cyberattacks. "
Security Advisor: Global visibility and deeper insights
If Security Advisor detects a problem, the following quick actions can be taken:
- Detailed information and recommendations for resolving configuration problems help to improve the security situation.
- The Helios dashboard offers a central overview of all security settings of the Cohesity cluster in all locations and regions.
- An understandable scorecard facilitates internal security assessments.
Security Advisor complements the CyberScan solution. It enables customers to uncover cyber risks and blind spots in their production environment by automatically examining backup snapshots for known vulnerabilities. Both solutions are now ready to fend off rising cyber threats, security breaches and ransomware attacks. Ransomware attacks alone increased by 2021 percent in the first half of 93. Companies need a quick, easy and comprehensive way to assess their security situation and quickly resolve problems.
2022: Ransomware has the highest priority
"Our latest research shows that ransomware will be the top priority in IT spending in 2022 and that preparing for ransomware is now a key issue at management level and in the boardroom," said Christophe Bertrand, Practice Director, Data Protection at Enterprise Strategy Group. "Security Advisor gives Cohesity customers a better understanding of how to optimize their privacy capabilities to limit their risk and reduce their exposure to potential threats."
