Just as you wouldn't leave food out to attract pests, publicly available resources are prime targets for cyberattacks. Whether it’s an exposed API or an improperly configured cloud instance, vulnerabilities can be exploited.
🔍 Identify Vulnerabilities: Like checking your ingredients for freshness, scanning helps detect potential weaknesses before they can be exploited.
📜 Ensure Compliance: This is like following a health code in your kitchen – adhere to internal and external security policies and regulations.
🛡️ Mitigate Risks: Proactively addressing security issues is like fixing a leaky faucet before it floods your kitchen – it prevents bigger problems down the line.
Demostar’s platform offers a comprehensive approach to managing security for publicly available resources. By following a strict and repeatable recipe, Demostar ensures that security is an integral part of the deployment process.
Pre-Deployment Scanning: Before deploying any cloud resources, like instances or APIs, Demostar’s automated deployment plans are thoroughly scanned for security issues. This preemptive measure ensures that only secure configurations are deployed, just like washing your hands before cooking.
Policy Adherence: Depending on your configured security policies, Demostar can automatically refuse to deploy environments that don’t meet the required security standards. This is like a chef refusing to use subpar ingredients, ensuring only the best makes it to the plate.
Demostar integrates with leading security tools to provide comprehensive scanning and monitoring capabilities. It’s like having state-of-the-art kitchen gadgets that help you maintain hygiene and efficiency. Tools like AWS Inspector, Azure Security Center, and Google Cloud Security Scanner are used to identify vulnerabilities and ensure compliance.
