As global industry evolves, digital innovation that features a hybrid, “from anywhere” business environment has become critical to modern workforces. New formats, like zero-trust access (ZTA), allow employees and external partners to utilize digital resources, no matter when or where they choose to work.

But this new approach creates complications for CISOs and other because business applications and data leave traditional corporate perimeters. Specifically, it broadens the attack surface of internal networks. Combined with evolving threats, this factor dramatically expands the risk of potential breaches.

In this article, we’ll explore how a zero-trust access approach to security featuring endpoint protection can help.

Mitigating Risk At The Edge

Conceptually, traditional security models feature “gateways” whereby permitted entry means users and devices can be trusted in perpetuity. But unpredictable and broadening access points render this traditional approach obsolete. Bad actors can steal credentials and access networks from any device, for example. This threat increases the complexity and risk of more frequent, more nuanced attacks.

ZTA is therefore critical to security as digital innovation continues. With ZTA, CISOs and other executives can ensure all users, devices, and applications are consistently authenticated, trustworthy, and managed. ZTA ensures users have only the correct frequency and depth of access as well.

What Is ZTA With Endpoint Protection?

The ZTA framework features a combination of security solutions that continuously and holistically identify, authenticate, and segment users and devices seeking network and application access. With these capabilities, security teams can:

• Establish identity through multiple authentication and certificate measures
• Enable role-based privileged access
• Ensure ongoing network control through automated orchestration and threat response
• Optimize the user experience, even with rigorous security measures

Essential Zero-Trust Access Capabilities For Modern IT Security

ZTA does more than offer superior security as enterprise attack surfaces expand. Enterprises that incorporate ZTA with endpoint protection as part of their integrated security strategy also enjoy the flexibility to support their business needs, beyond traditional security models.

Three critical capabilities ZTA features that optimize security and workflows on expanded networks include:

1. Authentication for Every Device, Every Time

Unlike traditional perimeter models, a ZTA-based security strategy assumes every user and device poses a risk. In this paradigm, ZTA authenticates every device before access is authorized. Because ZTA provides a seamless experience for users, automated security features can continuously authenticate devices every time a new or familiar device requests access, without adding friction to user workflows.

2. Role-Based Access for Every User

In this paradigm, security teams continuously monitor every user, no matter the user’s apparent risk. As part of this approach, security teams have visibility into the role-based access of every user, emphasizing a “least access policy” whereby users only access resources that are necessary for their roles.

3. Asset Protection, On and Off Network

Increased remote and mobile activity among users means that there is a greater risk they will expose their devices to bad actors. In doing so, they expose organizational resources to security threats, whether they realize a risk is present or not.

The ZTA approach improves endpoint visibility to protect against the risks associated with remote endpoint devices. Endpoint security measures share security telemetry data each time the device reconnects to the enterprise network. This provides security teams with visibility into vulnerabilities and threats, as well as into missing security patches and missing updates to role-based access, when applicable.

5 Essential Features Of Today’s Leading Zero-Trust Access Frameworks

Once CISOs and other IT executives understand the rationale behind ZTA frameworks, they must understand the ZTA market and the leading features each solution provides.

Consider the following five essential features as you review the leading solutions available today:

1. Automated Discovery Classification

Network access control discovers and identifies every device on, or seeking access to, the network. The ZTA system automatically scans those devices to ensure they are not compromised, then classifies each device by role and function.

2. Zone-of-Control Assignment

The system automatically assigns users to role-based zones of control where they can be monitored continuously, both on and off network. Network access control microsegments users in mixed environments featuring vendors, partners, contingent workers, and others in addition to employees, supporting robust capabilities even as companies expand the edge.

3. Continuous Monitoring

This feature is founded on the premise that no single user or device can be trusted, even after authentication, a device may be infected or a user’s credentials could have been compromised. ZTA frameworks continuously monitor users and devices, imposing streamlined authentication at every point of access as a result.

4. Secure Remote Access

The ZTA framework provides users with safe but flexible options for VPN connectivity, improving the user experience even as it imposes more robust security features. The framework also ensures internet-based transactions cannot backflow into each VPN connection, which would put the enterprise at risk.

5. Endpoint Access Control

The framework uses proactive visibility, defense, and control to strengthen endpoint security. Discovering, assessing, and continuously monitoring endpoint risk streamlines endpoint risk mitigation, risk exposure, and compliance. The framework supports encrypted connections across unsafe networks and continuously retrieves telemetry data to measure endpoint security statuses as well.

Consider Fortinet ZTA For A Fully Integrated Security Strategy

As an IT leader, your ultimate responsibility is not only to keep your company, resources, and users secure but also to help users innovate, improve the bottom line with new efficiencies, and generally meet the needs of the business. That’s why the experts at WEI recommend to IT and security executives who are re-thinking their approach to enterprise security as risks and business requirements evolve.

This week, we will be walking through a 10-point multicloud checklist to ensure you have everything necessary for optimal success aligned and accounted for. Like many IT endeavors, planning is often one of the most important parts. The goal of this blog is to help you decide how prepared you are to make decisions surrounding your multicloud storage strategy.

1. Data Durability
2. High Availability
3. Enterprise-class Performance
4. Copy Management
5. Strong Data Protection
6. Interoperability
7. Minimal Data Gravity
8. No Vendor Lock-in
9. Cloud and Data Center Monitoring Capabilities
10. Predictive Analytics

1. Data Durability

Native cloud block storage has a 0.1% to 0.2% annual failure rate. Data durability is millions of times more durable with multicloud storage offerings. Ask what the annual failure rate is for any service offering prior to committing.

2. High Availability

Don’t simply hear someone say their multicloud offering is a high availability architecture and buy in. Ask for the specific metrics surrounding the offering. Settling for less than 99.95% availability on your SLA is ill-advised. Also be sure to ask what is and isn’t included in the calculations for those metrics, ensuring no surprises pop up later on. High availability should be guaranteed in any multicloud offering.

3. Enterprise-class Performance

The key for this step is to look for both low latency and exceptional performance. Look for a service that is capable of delivering low latencies and tens of thousands of IOPS, even in the face of widely varying workloads. Once you feel confident at this step of your multicloud storage strategy, verify that the performance it is configured for can be delivered.

4. Copy Management

The ability to create and retain read-only and read/write clones without performance impacts can save both time and money. Look for flash-optimized snapshot capabilities that can provide instant, high-performance copies or clones in large numbers. Mention fast and easy clone creation when talking to multicloud service providers.

5. Strong Data Protection

Strong data protection and security capabilities should never be overlooked, particularly when it involves an organization and any type of cloud strategy. If it integrates with your primary array GUI, you can expect end-to-end protection from the data center to the cloud. In addition, thoroughly evaluate the offering’s malware protection, advanced persistent threat (APT) defenses, policy and permission controls, remote wipe, and 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption capabilities to ensure optimal multicloud security.

6. Interoperability

Focus on getting native support for the cloud, as well as the ability to move data back and forth between clouds with ease. You should also be able to manage your storage through a simple web portal, just as you do with AWS or Azure. Compression and change block tracking technologies make the on/off-ramp transfer very efficient. Your data is mobile between clouds without the need for data migration.

7. Minimal Data Gravity

Don’t settle for less than optimal flexibility. You’ll need to determine whether the cloud storage service will increase or reduce data gravity. If the service provides mobile attachment and detachment of storage volumes from public cloud compute instances and lets you attach it to another cloud provider, chances are, it will diminish data gravity, which is what you want. Low data gravity makes moving applications much easier and less risky.

8. No Vendor Lock-in

Data is the greatest source of vendor lock-in in the cloud. When data is stored with one public cloud provider, it’s sometimes very difficult and expensive to move it anywhere else. Data becomes trapped because you can only use or access it within the confines of that cloud provider. Make sure there’s no huge effort or expense required to move data between cloud providers or back in-house. Also, check the contract carefully for data egress charges and make sure you understand them clearly, they should be minimal.

9. Cloud and Data Center Monitoring Capabilities

Unless you’re pursuing an all-cloud, all-the-time strategy, you’ll need the ability to monitor and track both your cloud and data center data storage and data movement activities. You need global visibility across the entire infrastructure stack, no matter where that data may be.

10. Predictive Analytics

Analytics can enable cloud security systems to evaluate the significance of critical security information, analyze user behavior and find suspicious activity, and pinpoint other risky behavior before a breach occurs. According to IDC, “cloud-based predictive analytics are not yet considered a requirement in enterprise storage, but there are undeniable benefits to its use: higher performance, better reliability and availability, more efficient management, a vastly improved support experience, and a much better understanding of how your storage is performing on a variety of different metrics that inform daily administration as well as future planning.” So, ask prospective service providers whether, and to what extent, they leverage predictive analytics.

Next Steps

When your organization is planning on moving enterprise applications to the cloud, ask about any fully understand all of that service provider’s enterprise-class capabilities. In order to contend in the highly competitive global economy in which we operate, IT leaders must create a data structure that gives users the ability to access data, process it, and bring it to value as quickly as possible.

Software Defined Storage (SDS) is opening the door for new innovations and is giving IT managers the levels of data management and cost control that up until recently was only imaginable. Talk to a trusted technology partner about the benefits of SDS. Learn more by downloading our white paper,

• Enterprise-grade features
• Easy mobility
• Global visibility

In this post, we will look into and discuss the top ten challenges and misconceptions. These misconceptions are:

1. Risk of data loss
2. No enterprise-grade support
3. Data gravity increases in the cloud
4. Cloud services create vendor lock-in
5. Cloud storage will never be secure enough
6. Backup and recovery options will be limited
7. Surprise fees will blow up the business case
8. The “black box penalty” will increase costs
9. You’ll need separate tools and processes to take advantage of analytics and automation
10. “Cloud-first” and “all-in-cloud” strategies are best

Top Ten Multicloud Misconceptions

1. Risk of data loss. It is a common misconception that clouds increase the risk of data loss. There are some risks associated with not backing up data, particularly when using cloud-based block storage. This belief commonly leads to discussions surrounding multicloud because it is also a cloud-based offering. Fortunately, the reality is that multicloud services can bring enterprise-grade reliability and data protection to the public cloud and deliver measured, proven data durability that is millions of times higher than cloud-native block storage.

2. No enterprise-grade support. Another common misconception with multicloud is that vendors won’t offer enterprise grade support. Cloud strategies can create confusion about what is the responsibility of the customer versus the provider. This can lead to concerns about gaps in maintaining all elements of a cloud strategy. Fortunately, multicloud service providers currently have the expertise, know how, and capabilities to offer around the clock support, including enterprise-grade support.

3. Data gravity increases in the cloud. According to HPE, is the idea that as workloads scale, data is a harder and harder component of a workload to move. Thinking about moving data through an infrastructure that consists of multiple clouds with multiple providers sounds even more complicated, but the reality is that a single multicloud storage repository can interact with any other system or infrastructure assigned to it. This makes for easy mobility and access to all data.

4. Cloud services create vendor lock-in. Many organizations feel locked into their current cloud provider because of the time and cost commitments it would take to transition to another strategy. While this is true to some extent, it can all be avoided with proper planning and assistance from an IT consulting technology partner. Take advantage of the resources out there that have it in their best interests to keep their clients’ IT strategies nimble and flexible.

5. Cloud storage will never be secure enough. A downside of being an organization with heightened security measures using public clouds is that the cloud providers control the security protocols of the data it hosts. This was one of the biggest hesitations for organizations when cloud computing first began. It is important to understand, however, that these organizations are responsible for the data of many organizations and a data breach could potentially put the provider out of business. They have the experience and means to keep their clients’ data safe. If this isn’t convincing enough, adding an on-premises private cloud to your multicloud strategy is also a solution. This keeps control at the hands of the organization.

6. Backup and recovery options will be limited. A financial concern is the price of paying for every gigabyte of data being stored on a public cloud and the cost of accessing it or backing it up. A timely concern is the speed and ease at which accessing this information is possible. While this may be true to some extent for cloud offerings, multicloud services take this into consideration. Multicloud storage offerings adhere to and enable proper use of the best practice “3-2-1” rule for hybrid IT data protection. This backup and disaster recovery rule suggests that it is best practice to keep three copies of an enterprise’s data, two on site and one off-site. Cloud capabilities makes this best practice easy to utilize. The automated storage tiering in multicloud can also reduce total costs.

7. Surprise fees will blow up the business case. There are many different factors that go into a final cost of utilizing storage services. Many organizations think some capabilities are free that aren’t. This leads to not following best practices and as a result, seeing huge bills that make them think cloud was a bad investment. The root cause of these awful surprises is poor monitoring and tracking tools, as well as a lack of knowledge of best practices on cloud use. Multicloud services can track current usage, estimate future usage, charge only for the resources used, and provide features that help minimize the bill (such as charging only for newly changed data rather than full copies) compared to cloud-native storage.

8. The “black box penalty” will increase costs. We already addressed that cloud providers control the security measures implemented. In many cases, there is no visibility into what is going on in the background of a cloud environment, potentially creating . This leads organizations to purchase additional third-party solutions to gain that leverage and visibility. Unfortunately, that adds costs that originally were not planned for. Fortunately, this is all another misconception for multicloud offerings. Working with multicloud storage providers provides free access to visibility tools and monitoring capabilities. All of those concerns are a thing of the past with the proper multicloud storage strategy in place.

9. Analytics and automation not included. Some cloud offerings require separate tools and processes to be able to take advantage of analytics and . The very nature and primary motivator for cloud computing involves automation and agility. If you do your initial research, it is possible to find multicloud offerings specifically designed to take advantage of analytics and intelligent automation using existing tools and processes. Some providers even offer predictive analytics capabilities that work to further optimize operations and cost savings.

10. “Cloud-first” and “all-in-cloud” strategies are best. This is another common misconception. Cloud is the space that enterprises are finding opportunity to truly modernize IT capabilities. With that being said, this doesn’t suggest that enterprises should up and move everything to the cloud overnight. Cloud needs to become a part of an organization’s IT strategy, meaning it needs to be prepared for and on boarded like one. It is unrealistic to think that an organizations can go from no cloud capabilities to all cloud computing, but it is possible to offload a few workloads to a cloud environment. After understanding how it works and growing in comfort and confidence with monitoring and operating within a cloud environment, more data can be moved over to clouds. Overtime, more clouds may be utilized, reaching a full multicloud strategy. This idea of starting slow with cloud and balancing between traditional practices and cloud usage is nothing we are making up. It is the very premise that defines Hybrid IT.

Now what?

We went through ten of the most common myths and misconceptions surrounding multicloud storage strategies. In order to move forward, it is best practice to talk to an IT consulting technology partner that can answer questions and guide your enterprise through the process. Some questions to consider asking include:

1. Is IT ready for multicloud?
2. How much will people have to learn to succeed with multicloud?
3. How solid is the business case surrounding multicloud from a financial perspective?

Starting slow and proceeding with caution is and forever will be an IT best practice, especially when dealing with unfamiliar technologies. That take it slow hybrid IT approach discussed within misconception ten is the smartest step towards digital transformation. Start slow with cloud and gradually move more and more workloads to cloud spaces, while still leveraging on premise solutions.
