Axonius, the cybersecurity asset management company, today
announced the launch of
Cloud Asset Compliance, leveraging data aggregated from public
cloud providers to automatically determine how cloud workload, configuration
details, and accounts comply with industry security benchmarks. Available
today, Axonius Cloud Asset Compliance for AWS aggregates and correlates data
from customers' AWS environments to show adherence to the rules defined in the
CIS Amazon Web Services Foundations Benchmark 1.2.
The speed, flexibility, and cost savings of the cloud are driving many
organizations to move mission-critical workloads to public cloud environments.
But often, the speed of DevOps and the breadth of instances result in
misconfiguration, overly permissive access rights, and sensitive data becoming
publicly available to anyone knowing where to look. By aggregating data from
public cloud infrastructure providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google
Cloud, Axonius Cloud Asset Compliance automatically shows how each cloud
instance conforms to widely accepted security benchmarks like CIS as well as
the organization's overall security policy.
CIS Benchmarks are a set of widely adopted best practices for securing
systems and data against attack. Available for more than 140 technologies, CIS
Benchmarks are the only consensus-based security configuration guides both
developed and accepted by government, business, industry, and academia. They
are continuously verified to enable organizations to safeguard their operating
systems, software, and networks against evolving cybersecurity challenges.
"The introduction of Cloud Asset Compliance is just the latest example
of our ongoing commitment to helping customers automate the manual work
involved with getting a credible inventory, understanding security gaps, and
automating policy enforcement," said Avidor Bartov, Co-Founder and Chief
Architect at Axonius. "Since we already integrate with nearly 200
solutions to aggregate, correlate, and show how assets match security policies,
it made perfect sense to build a series of add-ons to help customers
automatically validate adherence to benchmarks like CIS. Whether our customers'
assets are devices on networks or instances in the cloud, we want to show them
what they have, whether those assets meet the security policy, and help them
remediate issues as quickly or automatically as they want."
Axonius Cloud Asset Compliance provides additional value in helping security
and IT teams continue to move fast by ensuring that their cloud assets are
secured as expected, along with offering detailed guidance on what do any time
an instance is no longer in compliance.
Axonius Cloud Asset Compliance add-on for AWS is
already installed in customer environments and is available to try now.
