• Firewall-Based Remediation: Remediation actions are applied directly at the firewall level, verifying and maintaining business continuity.
• Cloud Attack Surface Risk Reduction: Detects and remediates exposures in cloud servers, effectively shrinking the attack surface.
• Public Asset Identification: Identifies and secures publicly facing assets, providing an additional layer of security.
• “Not a Bot” Verification
• Protection of Critical Business Assets: Safeguards essential components like databases and web servers from threats.

A PROACTIVE APPROACH WITH VERITI AND WIZ

The dynamic nature of cloud services, often accelerated by DevOps practices, leads to an increased attack surface, including vulnerabilities in containers and servers. This complexity is compounded by the prevalence of shadow IT, where unauthorized services are used without the knowledge of IT security teams, further exposing organizations to cyber threats.

Additionally, the traditional approach of simply identifying vulnerabilities often falls short without effective remediation strategies. CISOs need tools that not only provide visibility into these vulnerabilities but also empower them with the capability to actively remediate them. This requires a shift from passive monitoring to proactive management of security controls, ensuring that vulnerabilities can be remediated quickly and without disrupting business operations.

The integration of Veriti’s Exposure Assessment & Remediation with Wiz addresses these cloud security challenges effectively. By leveraging Wiz’s comprehensive cloud visibility and Veriti’s proactive remediation capabilities, the solution ensures rapid detection and neutralization of vulnerabilities, reducing the cloud attack surface substantially. This approach not only minimizes the risk of business disruptions but also curtails the spread of shadow IT, ensuring that critical business assets remain protected under stringent security measures.
