Design, Assessment and Security

Cloud essentially involves using servers, networks, storage, databases, and much more on the internet. With innovation pacing at this speed, sensitive data is bound to be exploited if not secured thoroughly.

CDL Cloud Security Services help clients secure their cloud migration and transformation journey to build a cyber- resilient and IT compliant cloud ecosystem.

Our offerings include:

1. Cloud Security Strategy and Architecture

We define Cloud strategy and architecture for effective Cloud Security Posture. It will also cover Process review e.g. Data security, Logging & Monitoring Configuration and Change management processes and their alignment with Cloud. Plus, SLA and Business agreement review

2. Cloud Security Assessment Services

We conduct security review of cloud migration readiness and roadmap definition, security assessment for cloud applications, Cloud APIs and integrations, Cloud Forensics and assessments.

3. Cloud Managed Security Services

We provide ongoing monitoring, and support, of one or more security controls for the cloud such as a Security Operations Center (SOC), to identify threats and respond immediately is necessary to ensure a sound security posture.

4. Cloud Security Governance

We design and build Cloud Security governance policies, and process frameworks, assess compliance with regulatory controls, and identify gaps. Covers assessing security maturity by benchmarking current security controls and practices against industry leading methods and standards. Review of organizational strategy and risk appetite, roles and responsibilities, insurance and governance tasks 

5. Cloud Security solutions in Implementation and Support. 

We design and deploy multi-tenant cloud security solutions including discovery of critical assets and remediation of identified threats.

Zero trust Solution

Zero Trust solutions provide better  performance than VPNs, especially for distributed  resources, wherein applications, databases, and  servers exist in multi-cloud environments. They also  can often be deployed to protect resources in  locations or environments where the enterprise  cannot deploy a VPN entry point, for example, on  a third-party network. If your organization has a highly distributed or highly  dynamic set of resources, there is a necessity to  upgrade your current security posture and adopt a  Zero Trust approach. 

1. If there are resources that were deployed recently, it  may be the case that only remote VPN users have a  secure access pathway and that your organization  needs a solution for on-premises users. Zero Trust  Solutions like ours provide a unified answer for  secure access by both remote and on premise users 

2. Zero Trust solutions are designed to secure access  for all users to all resources, and at the same time,  they can eliminate siloed solutions, such as separate  rules and access mechanisms for remote vs. on-premises users 

3. Zero Trust can allow for what can be called  implementation of granular level access policies.  This means that Zero Trust policies can be applied  incrementally, group by group, or application by  application. This means that you will be able to decide on a  group by group or individual by individual basis, as  to who has access to what, without necessarily  affecting latency during access

Our Recommendation

From a user authentication and authorization and  management perspective, it is recommended that  organizations replace their existing VPNs with a Zero  Trust system and use the third party’s enterprise  identity management system for authentication. In  addition, it is also recommended that you enforce MFA  for these users, each time they attempt to access your  resources. This follows the principle of Never Trust,  Always Verify followed by Zero trust systems, and the  principle of continuous three dimensional risk and trust  assessment for your users, and also eliminates the  potential for credential sharing by third-party users  (which is a common occurrence)
