Unmasking external exposure in the Cloud with Real-Time Firewall Context
Blog post from Stream.Security
In the complex landscape of cloud security, maintaining a comprehensive view of the environment is crucial, as disconnected security tools can create a false sense of security and lead to inefficiencies and costly investigations. This challenge is particularly pronounced in understanding the interplay between cloud infrastructure and perimeter firewalls, with traditional security measures often failing to account for the multi-layered nature of cloud exposure, such as network reachability and identity management. Stream Security addresses these issues with its firewall unmasking capabilities that integrate real-time cloud threat visibility with firewall rules, enhancing SecOps efficiency by eliminating false positives, improving threat prioritization, and streamlining incident response. By providing real-time context across multiple layers—network reachability, identity, exposure, and security controls—Stream Security empowers teams to make informed decisions, reducing false positives and improving overall efficiency, thus effectively dismantling the illusions of the "Cloud Kabuki" and ensuring a secure cloud environment.
