As the cloud takes center stage in cybersecurity discussions, we can’t forget the importance of protecting organizations on the endpoint side. The Internet of Things (IoT) has created an entire host of devices that could possibly be compromised, and protections should be in place to make sure these devices are secure.

Each month, we ask Fuel members to weigh in with their opinions on the Cybersecurity Question of the Month, and we’re sharing their answers here.
This month we had multiple Fuel members voice their response to a question on the topic of Using Multi-Factor Authentication.

It would be wonderful to be two places at once. There are plenty of times when the overwhelming demands of a job or life simply seem like too much for one person to handle. When it comes to IT security, centralized management of both Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) can help ease time constraints and make tasks on different clouds easier to accomplish.

Quick question: When it comes to staying ahead of security threats, which is most important; finding effective methods of monitoring cloud resources, guarding against the loss of sensitive data, or checking security configurations? That answer, of course, is all of the above.

Needless to say, cybersecurity can be a tough environment in which to operate. For many professionals, it is not uncommon to be working with industrial assets that are located in harsh environments that have been, or are being modernized as part of an OT digital transformation initiative.
While the automation piece to these environments may be cutting-edge, provisions for cybersecurity are lagging, leaving organizations exposed. Given the rising threat landscape for ICS/SCADA and the simultaneously tightening regulatory landscape, where even the most remote sites may be subject to cybersecurity laws, this could not continue.

What is your multi-cloud strategy? Today it is not uncommon for organizations to be running a mix of public infrastructure as a service (IaaS) environments, such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. In fact, a recent study concluded that one-third of the world’s companies are using four or more cloud vendors in their day-to-day operations.

Have you taken advantage of the Palo Alto Networks Best Practices Booklet? Released last June, it contains 300+ pages of specific, immediately useful advice for improving security, performance, manageability, and high availability.
We continue to provide our members with resources for useful guidance of the booklet. One such resource is the Fuel Tip of the Week Forum. Let’s take a look at one of the latest tips highlighted in this forum.

The act of volunteering—helping your neighbors without recompense—offers more than just a helping hand, it benefits you and those you help in different ways. And there are many ways in which you can volunteer—whether related to your career via professional user group or something completely unrelated.

Cybersecurity threats come at a rapid pace these days—or so it seems. That leaves security professionals with very little room for error and the need to eliminate uncertainty in the process.
Here’s where protocol becomes your best friend; a clear progression of steps to take in the face of an immediate threat. Better yet, Fuel volunteer Paul Carter asks, can that protocol be standardized across organizations? He believes so and, in response, developed the DDIVE Model –which stands for Detect, Design, Implement, Validate, Establish. A security-focused response to incidents that will ensure viable options are considered, implemented and documented, DDIVE is designed to be adaptable and repeatable.
