Cloud Migration

Migrating data to the cloud is an increasingly simple and attractive proposition but can create unseen security challenges, particularly from third-party cloud applications. Using and storing data in the cloud, via SaaS apps, dramatically increases your attack surface and leaves you more vulnerable to an attack. 

Traditionally data and apps resided behind your perimeter, protected by a secure firewall or Gateway.  You had control over what went in and out and if correctly deployed and configured, most vulnerabilities would be from user issues. Increased cloud usage erodes the perimeter and businesses lose control over access and data security policies.

The Challenge of Securing Data in the Cloud

Cyber security threats continue to rise at alarming rates, some worrying trends from the last 12 months include:

Ransomware

UK ransomware rose by a massive 227%

Malware

65% increase in new malware variants

Encrypted Threats

Rise of encrypted threats by 167%

SonicWall Cloud Application Security

Configured and managed through SonicWall’s cloud interface, CAS offers security and visibility over all data moving in and out of the apps you use, wherever they are located. Easy to deploy, it utilises API (allowing two applications to talk to each other) and connects directly to the Apps you use, a more effective solution than a Gateway approach.

Limitations of a Gateway Approach

  • Does not scan internal emails
  • Does not protect other apps within O365
  • Cannot detect compromised accounts
  • No control over email after delivery
  • Introduces point of failure and latency issues
  • Deployment overhead

API Based Security

  • Inspects all email, including internal email
  • Scans all files including file sharing/storage apps
  • Detects compromised O365 accounts
  • Removes emails from inboxes after delivery
  • Retroactively scans inboxes
  • Deploys in mins

How Secure is your Microsoft/Office 365 Plan?

Most Microsoft/Office 365 plans exclude many vital security features.

If you are running Microsoft 365 Business Standard, Microsoft 365 Business Premium, Office 365 E1 or Office 365 E3 your plan only provides up to 70% security protection. Your business is at risk, and you should consider adopting additional security to eliminate vulnerabilities.
