USE CASES
Security in the Cloud.

The cloud is no longer a question of if, but when–and where. Many organizations have multiple PaaS, SaaS and IaaS providers. The flexibility is great for the business…but from a security perspective the cloud can introduce additional complexity.

It’s important to understand the public cloud shared responsibility model. Essentially, cloud providers are responsible for security “of” the cloud while customers are responsible for security “in” the cloud.

So you still need to be securing your workloads in the cloud, as you would on prem. But there’s a new wrinkle in that the vulnerabilities, best practices and mitigations from each cloud provider will be different.

With ReliaQuest GreyMatter, you get a lens into your cloud data, where it resides. By us taking on the burden of mapping integrations and applying unified threat detection content across your portfolio of products and critical data–in the cloud or on premises, securing across environments starts to get a lot easier.

Further, because we work with multiple customers managing workloads in various clouds, we’ve built proven content and remediation actions to work across the various providers–and can advise you on the merits and challenges of each provider for your industry and use case.

This goes for multi-SIEM as well. Each of the cloud providers is building out additional security capabilities–some delivering near full-blown SIEMs. For many organizations, they’re continuing to prioritize their existing SIEM for on-premises workloads, but as they’re migrating to the cloud, leveraging the cloud SIEM or security tools becomes a matter of practicality and keeping data where it is to control costs.Again, ReliaQuest GreyMatter to the rescue–unifying and automating security operations workflows to help enterprises to reduce complexity, manage and mitigate risk, increase efficiencies and drive investment in the right areas.
