Whether it’s NIST 800-53 or NIST 800-171, PCI DSS, FISMA, FIPS, GDPR, HIPAA, or other requirements, compliance demands ongoing effort for which your security and compliance personnel need help. The visibility and control you need for compliance is particularly challenging when doing business in the cloud. When you don’t own the network or infrastructure, you can’t see as much and this is where compliance problems multiply and you can lose track of your data and your customers’ data.

Compliance in the Cloud

A cloud workload protection platform scans hybrid cloud data center architectures, including on-premises, physical and virtual machines (VMs), public cloud IaaS, and containers, to identify compliance problems, secure processing and more easily segment the workload according to security and law.

The cloud workload protection platform provides:

• Endpoint and cloud workload protection – Simplified, this is visibility and security control over computing devices and how they can share data, including to, from and within the cloud. Servers in the cloud can be agented for this purpose and protocol as well.
• SIEM – To manage multiplatform data at a high level and make sense of it, you can opt to view security information above the command line, allowing bigger-picture prioritization of responses, crucial risk management, and compliance.
• Reporting and analysis – Government regulations and standards bodies require reports and sometimes call for audits and you want to be ready. Atomicorp endpoint and cloud workload protection solutions bring advanced security and compliance controls for managing, proving and reporting compliance.
• File integrity monitoring (FIM) – The ability to monitor files and systems for breaches and unauthorized changes in the environment is a critical capability for both security and compliance. Atomic OSSEC FIM enables IT security to run FIM continuously and in real time to detect subtle, malicious changes to strings of code and hashes that timer-based FIM programs can miss. Atomic OSSEC FIM also provides time stamps, who, what, where and how data, and log artifacts for forensics, reporting and proving compliance.
