Blumira’s Security Advisor Series: Tips for Simplified Cloud Security Monitoring

So, you’ve migrated to the cloud. It sounds reasonable enough to use the same tried-and-true approach that you used to secure your on-prem environment, right? Monitoring and securing a cloud environment comes with completely different challenges and requirements — and having a ‘set it and forget it’ mentality to cloud security can lead to disaster.  

Cloud means more services to monitor, a wider attack surface, and more tools, leading to blindspots. In fact, lack of visibility in a cloud environment is what contributed to the infamous Capital One AWS breach in 2019.

Join Blumira’s Bill Reyor, Sr. Incident Detection Engineer, Nato Riley, Integrations Engineer and Patrick Garrity, VP of Operations, and learn practical tips you can apply to your cloud security strategy to combat rising threats like ransomware and malware. 

In this roundtable discussion, they’ll cover:

• What log sources are most important to monitor to identify indicators of attacker techniques early and respond quickly to contain a breach
• Why alert fatigue is so problematic, and how to avoid it 
• How cloud monitoring differs from monitoring on-premises environments like Microsoft Active Directory

This interactive, conversational-style session encourages questions and engagement with viewers — so sign up today for access to our security experts.
