Security teams need to plan the measures taken to reduce the harmful effects of a CVE, to ensure that the applications they are managing remain secure while business availability is not affected, and developers can continue with their day-to-day activities.
Check Point CloudGuard transforms the workflow of the security team by transitioning a frustrating, time-consuming situation into an easily managed and well-triaged list of high-priority assets based on the context of the specific cloud environment.
Description of the vulnerability - the CVE description allows SecOps team to identify the vulnerable resource.
The vulnerability is caused when Frappe uses Python & MariaDB. Description of the potential exploitation - the CVE description gives the SecOps team information about exploitation methods.
Description of the remediation action - the CVE description provides the SecOps teams with available remediation actions.
Theoretically the SecOps team will just need to identify all instances of Frappe across their cloud application and upgrade them to the requested version.
Organizations need to formulate mitigation strategy starting at the time the vulnerability is discovered and continue until the security team is confident that the environment is no longer at risk.
The security team analyzes the root cause of the security problem and the potential paths to exploit the vulnerability.
In the first step the security team reduces exposure by patching the most critical risks, followed by a second step in which the security team analyzes the high risks to provide a wider remediation with lower development effort.
In the final step the security team confirms that the patching process is successful, resolved the issue, and security operations goes back to normal.
CloudGuard helps security teams to operationalize vulnerability mitigation strategies by periodizing CVEs based on their cloud context, offering a remediation guideline for security risks, and drilling-down to investigate specific security issues.
CloudGuard helps security teams with identifying and patching the critical vulnerable assets.
Once the security team remediated the vulnerable assets with critical risks, they left with high ones.
CloudGuard helps the security team to investigate the vulnerable assets and group them into remediation projects.
The team can decide that they fix first asset with high business priority, then assets with sensitive data and finally assets that are publicly exposed.
CloudGuard also allows the team to drill-down to investigate some of the risks more deeply understanding the root-cause of the risks.
The security team extracts the prioritization & remediation guidelines from CloudGuard and then assign it the development teams.
CloudGuard continuously monitors the cloud environment and once the remediation plan is fully applied the Security team can track CloudGuard dashboards and confirm that the environment is no longer at risk from the new vulnerability.
CloudGuard helps organizations to execute mitigation strategy effectively by helping the team to prioritize risk, investigate them, and create a remediation plan.
