New tools for Sophos Cloud Optix ensure the compliance of Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure cloud environments and at the same time help to save costs for cloud services.
The use of the public cloud harbors some stumbling blocks for companies. In addition to the traditional security concepts that must also be implemented in the cloud, companies must also pay attention to the configuration and the assignment of rights for access to the cloud infrastructure. This is the only way to use the public cloud securely and avoid compliance problems. With Sophos Cloud Optix, companies and MSPs can monitor their cloud environments and at the same time initiate automated responses to incidents that have been detected.

Sophos Cloud Optix
Sophos Cloud Optix can be used independently of other security products and uses artificial intelligence (AI) to identify and close security gaps in cloud infrastructures. With the help of a central console, data in Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) can be automatically recognized. This enables the security teams to react to incidents more quickly. Sophos Cloud Optix helps security teams focus on their most critical vulnerabilities and remediate them before they are identified and exploited in cyberattacks. Cloud Optix provides a complete picture of cloud resources in multi-cloud environments by monitoring costs, identifying insecure cloud configurations and implementations, and identifying access anomalies, over-privileged IAM roles, and compliance errors from the development cycle to ongoing security of Live -Cloud services reveals. Cloud Optix is part of the Sophos cloud security portfolio, which includes EDR, MTR, Firewall, CWPP, CSPM and SaaS email security.
