Automated Security Controls Assessment
Automated Security Controls Assessment (ASCA) is an emerging technology that plays a crucial role in enhancing cybersecurity by continuously evaluating the effectiveness of security controls within an organization. This assessment is vital in a landscape where cyber threats are evolving rapidly, necessitating organizations to adopt more efficient and effective security measures.
Cybersecurity Asset and Risk Management
In the digital age, cybersecurity is paramount for organizations to safeguard their assets and mitigate risks. Cybersecurity Asset and Risk Management involves identifying, assessing, and managing the cybersecurity risks associated with an organization’s assets. Here are some key components and benefits of implementing a robust cybersecurity asset and risk management strategy:
Cybersecurity Technology Consolidation
Cybersecurity vendor consolidation streamlines your security infrastructure, reducing complexity and management overhead. By working with fewer vendors, you decrease the number of potential attack surfaces, simplify integration between tools, and gain better visibility into your overall security posture.
CIS Controls Compliance
Historically, CIS Controls were sequenced to guide cybersecurity efforts, with the first six considered “cyber hygiene.” However, this approach proved too simplistic, often hindering smaller enterprises from progressing to later controls, such as implementing backup strategies against ransomware. Starting with Version 7.1, CIS introduced Implementation Groups (IGs) to better prioritize security measures.
Cybersecurity Mesh
Cybersecurity mesh architecture (CSMA) provides a foundational support layer that enables distinct security services to work together to create a dynamic security environment.
Privileged Access Management (PAM)
Privileged access management (PAM) is the process of controlling and monitoring the access of authorized users to sensitive data and systems. PAM aims to prevent unauthorized access, misuse, or theft of confidential information by insiders or outsiders.
Continuous Compliance Management (CCM)
Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM) is a proactive approach within an organization’s governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) framework. It involves the automated monitoring of control systems and processes to ensure their effectiveness and compliance with regulatory standards and internal policies. CCM provides real-time insights into potential risks, enabling organizations to identify and address issues before they escalate.
Cybersecurity Robotic Process Automation
According to Gartner, more than 50% of organizations implementing ZT will fail to realize the benefits. According to the Center for Internet Security (CIS), default Windows Server Benchmark scores are only 21%. Customers typically discover up to 35% more assets than they think they have. You can’t secure what you can’t see. Lots of security products require lots of cybersecurity experts. Today, there is a need for more than 5 Million experts worldwide. SecHard Zero Trust Orchestrator is the one-stop solution for all these cybersecurity challenges.
Secure Configuration Management
Security Configuration Management (SCM) is a critical aspect of cybersecurity that involves the systematic management and control of an organization’s information system configurations to ensure their security and compliance with established standards and policies. SCM encompasses the identification, implementation, and maintenance of security settings and configurations across various hardware, software, and network components.
Zero Trust Adoption
SecHard Zero Trust Orchestrator is a multi-module software for implementing Zero Trust Architecture designed to facilitate compliance with NIST SP 800-207, the Executive Office of Presidential memorandum, and Gartner Adaptive Security Architecture. It is built on the principles of zero-trust security, which means it treats all devices and users as untrusted and verifies every access request before granting access.
