The Cloud Security Readiness Gap –Part 2
Organizations are increasingly deploying a variety of workloads across multiple clouds. In turn, business-critical data and services are increasingly scattered across this distributed infrastructure. Using the shared responsibility model as a guiding principle, enterprises rely on cloud providers to protect the network, storage, and computing layers, while enterprises own the security for everything that is built, deployed, or stored in the public cloud.
Fortinet’s cloud security solutions and products enable secure workloads through tight integration with all major public cloud providers to ensure privacy and confidentiality while leveraging the benefits of scalability, metering, and time to market.
Enhance your understanding of these common cybersecurity concerns in an exclusive video from Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). Speakers include:
- Doug Cahill, VP and Director of Cybersecurity at ESG.
- Jonathan Nguyen-Duy, VP And Field CISO at Fortinet.

Closing the Cloud Security Readiness Gap:
Gaining Consistency Across Disparate Environments
The composition of cloud-native applications is a mix of APIs, containers, VMs, and serverless functions continuously integrated and delivered. Securing these applications, the underlying infrastructure, and the automation platforms that orchestrate their deployment, necessitates revisiting threat models, gaining organizational alignment, and leveraging purposeful controls. Additionally, as security and DevOps continue to converge, cloud security controls are being consolidated. Project teams are evolving from a siloed approach to a unified strategy to securing cloud-native applications and platforms.
In order to gain insight into these trends, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) surveyed 383 IT and cybersecurity professionals at organizations in North America (US and Canada) personally responsible for evaluating or purchasing cloud security technology products and services.

Your MDM Doesn’t Want You to Read This (But We Do!)
If you’ve ever worked with an MDM (Mobile Device Management) to build and manage an Android device fleet, you know how one-sided that relationship becomes once your hardware is in the field. You also know that’s because MDMs are built on a model that chiefly rewards shipping devices, not supporting them. It’s hard to blame them, either — in a world where getting devices to the edge has become a critical concern across dozens of industries, hardware talks. But if you’re scaling a mission critical Android device fleet, you’re already asking the kind of hard questions your MDM probably isn’t very eager to answer.
MDM is Dead. It’s Time to Shift to Android DevOps
Alright, so maybe not completely dead, but Mobile Device Management (MDM) - while necessary - cannot (alone) meet the needs of innovative, agile businesses, especially when customer experience and value are on the line.
With MDM, you can’t control the intake of changes to a fleet - risking widespread downtime - or debug your applications in real-time to prevent poor user experience. Enter Android DevOps where quality and speed are at the heart of dedicated device management.
According to Sam Guckenheimer of Microsoft Azure, “For a DevOps team...everything they do is about making a customer’ experience better.” Android DevOps enables businesses to focus on their business - not the platform - so they can deliver the ultimate customer experience.
Continue reading to learn more about how making the shift to Android DevOps can help you get back to what matters most: delighting your customers.

How Strong is Your MDM Security?
6 Layer MDM Cybersecurity Self-Assessment
MDM security in 2020 must be dynamic. You need the flexibility to deploy and manage single-purpose Android devices according to use cases. MDM should offer features to completely wipe and re-provision devices at any given point during the device lifecycle. Most importantly, MDM security should allow real-time or automated response based on insights into devices, apps, and user behaviors.
According to the 2020 Verizon Mobile Security Index (MSI), 66% of organizations admit a mobile cybersecurity issue has spiraled into a “significant organizational calamity” in the past, Your chances of experiencing a mobile cybersecurity incident in the next two years are 28%.
Your mobile security risks vary depending on device type, industry, and most importantly, use case. Pay attention to this 42-point checklist to determine if your MDM security is at risk.
Navigating the 7 Pitfalls of Incident Management
Technology organizations are constantly under pressure to do more with less. With the explosion in both complexity and quantity of applications and digital infrastructure teams need to support, it’s becoming even more critical for IT teams to invest in automation. Explore seven painful anti-patterns that can get in the way of automating incident response for faster resolution and fewer escalations. Learn how you can:
- Prevent Incidents and Reduce Incident Duration
- Reduce the Cost of Response
- Share Knowledge and Continuously Improve
Learn how to tackle these issues to help your team achieve faster resolution and fewer incidents.

What do your Peers have to Say about One Identity Safeguard
Privileged Access Management (PAM) is an established security countermeasure, but the current threat environment and compliance burdens render manual approaches to PAM inadequate. A PAM solution is now essential. A range of choices is available, with the next generation offering the best functionality with the least friction.
This paper examines the factors that go into selecting a PAM solution, based on experiences described by One Identity Safeguard users on IT Central Station. They recommend assessing a potential PAM solution for its ease of deployment and use, its transparency, scalability, and ability to work with existing IT and business operations.
2020 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for PAM
Privileged Access Management (PAM) is one of the most important areas of risk management and security in any organization. Privileged accounts have traditionally been given to administrators to access critical data and applications. But, changing business practices, hybrid IT, cloud and other aspects of digital transformation has meant that users of privileged accounts have become more numerous and widespread. To reduce the risk of privileged accounts being hijacked or fraudulently used, and to uphold stringent regulatory compliance within an organization, a strong PAM solution is essential.
This report is an overview of the market for Privilege Access Management (PAM) solutions and provides a compass to help buyers find the solution that best meets their needs. KuppingerCole examines the market segment, vendor functionality, relative market share, and innovative approaches to providing PAM solutions.
