Organizations Must Address Insider Risk

Security and IT organizations must protect against new attacks at scale — and safeguard data in use, at rest, and in motion — in cloud-centered environments where perimeters have faded as quickly as distinctions between work and home. To do so, they need to leverage more intelligence, more automation, and better, more flexible integrations.

CrowdStrike, Mimecast, Netskope and Okta have combined their best-of-breed cybersecurity and identity solutions to comprehensively address information security and data loss challenges, including the rising problem of insider risk.

The Problem

For security teams, seamless integration has long been the “holy grail". But as the metaphor suggests, those who seek it have faced serious obstacles. How do you integrate effectively without adding complexity? In the past, integrating diverse security solutions into a cohesive framework posed significant difficulties. This led to gaps in protection and increased management complexity. For example, security operations leaders were forced to build bespoke integrations for incompatible products that often limited their visibility and ability to share threat information.

Cyberattacks have grown more ubiquitous and sophisticated, focusing on access compromise, human trust, and weaknesses. Simply layering on additional tools that don’t integrate properly isn’t going to lead to a secure environment. This will only add friction and waste time while sensitive data remains at risk.

Organizations need to ensure their tools work together smoothly to quickly propagate information and act upon the insights available to them. They also need unified identity services to respond in ways that are more adaptive, accurate, and effective.

The Solution

With an integrated approach from CrowdStrike, Mimecast, Netskope and Okta, organizations can now seamlessly consolidate their security operations and address various security aspects efficiently. This collaborative synergy empowers organizations to tackle traditional challenges of security integration with unparalleled effectiveness, creating a fortified security ecosystem that shields against emerging threats and enhances overall cybersecurity posture.

Customers who take advantage of this alliance will receive:

• Ease of set-up – integration in minutes
• Enhanced security
• Streamlined operations
• Continued innovation and reduced complexity

Customers will get protection from:

• Insider and supply chain risk
• Omnichannel data loss
• Attacks on cloud services and more

The Bottom Line

Organizations must improve employee user experiences while managing devices and connections in a ‘work from anywhere’ world — otherwise, they can end up with users who are frustrated enough to try working around the security controls already in place.
