A Layered Approach to Reducing False Positives in Cloud Security

In the dynamic landscape of cloud security, understanding the full context of assets, vulnerabilities, and their current states is crucial for effective threat management. Stream Security emphasizes the importance of real-time context in reducing false positives and enhancing threat response by providing insights into network reachability, identity exploitability, and security control configurations. Their approach allows security teams to prioritize risks based on real-time data, ensuring that critical alerts are addressed promptly without unnecessary distractions. By tailoring mitigation strategies to the operational realities of an organization, such as updating Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules in production environments to avoid downtime, Stream Security helps maintain business continuity while effectively managing vulnerabilities like Remote Code Execution (RCE) exploits. Their real-time visibility facilitates informed decision-making, enabling teams to focus on genuine threats and improve overall security efficiency.
