For highly regulated industries like financial services, healthcare, and government, adopting the cloud can seem scary. How do you stay compliant in the cloud and achieve complete configuration visibility and control? The secret lies in harnessing the power of configuration intelligence.
Many regulated organizations still resist cloud adoption, fearing it will lead to non-compliance with strict industry regulations like HIPAA, PCI DSS, or FedRAMP. This fear is justified. According to a 2022 Cloud Security Report from Checkpoint, 57% of organizations find it challenging to properly protect data in multi-cloud environments in accordance with corporate policy and regulatory requirements. Different environments have different built-in security controls and tools, making consistent protection difficult to achieve.
The consequences of non-compliance are severe, ranging from massive fines in the millions to damaged customer trust, outages, and competitive disadvantages. However, advanced configuration management technology is changing the game.
Let's explore how configuration risk intelligence simplifies cloud compliance:
- Mapping the Cloud Landscape
Configuration Risk Intelligence (CRI) begins by charting out every nook and cranny of your cloud configurations down to the component level. Using automated discovery to illuminate networking, resources, dependencies, and settings across your hybrid environment, this mapping ensures you have an authoritative configuration baseline that aligns with compliance standards as your source of truth.
- Continuously Monitor
Once you've set your baseline, it's all about vigilance. Evolven’s Platform monitors all configurations in near-real-time and provides instant alerts for any deviations. This proactive approach ensures you're always a step ahead, ensuring compliance even during ongoing cloud operations.
- Automate Policy Checks
Gone are the days of manual, tedious compliance checks. CRI automates policy checks by codifying your regulatory requirements into configuration rules. By scanning environments on-demand or continuously the platform identifies violations across clouds and provides the visibility and guidance required to proactively correct them.
- Speed Incident Investigation
In the rare event of non-compliance, Evolven’s configuration risk intelligence is your detective. Dive deep into the root cause in mere seconds, ensuring swift resolutions and preventing future mishaps.
- Enforce Security Safeguards
Many compliance mandates have security requirements like encryption, access controls, and network segmentation. By intelligently managing security configurations, you're not just ticking off compliance boxes but also fortifying your cloud fortress. And with a DevSecOps approach, you're ensuring that security and compliance teams are in perfect harmony.
- Unified Cloud Vision
Today's multi-cloud environments demand unified visibility and control across on-prem, hybrid, and public cloud. Manage compliance across your entire digital ecosystem from a single pane of glass. Configuration Risk Intelligence offers this unified perspective, ensuring consistent compliance standards across varied cloud technologies.
- Leverage AI and ML
Advanced analytics like machine learning can model normal configuration behavior to detect anomalies that may signify non-compliance. Imagine having an AI "assistant" that helps you prioritize based on risk, and even provides guidance on optimizing configurations for compliance.
