Strengthen Corporate Resource Security</h2><p class=""><strong>Firewall Management:</strong> Firewalls perform best when used to manage perimeter access rather than internal network access. While firewalls are essential, their policies can become overly complex, often leading to security gaps. Having a well-documented library of firewall rules helps avoid mismanagement and security loopholes. </p><p class=""><em>Instead of complex firewall policies, Mamori strengthens corporate resource security by using a Zero Trust Architecture to access resources. </em></p><p class=""><strong>Micro-Segment Networks:</strong> <a href="https://www.mamori.io/blog/microsegmentation-importance-strategy-best-practices">Micro-segment networks</a> enhances security by isolating network segments, which limits lateral movement across the network. By creating separate zones with unique access controls, an organization can reduce its attack surface significantly. Micro-segmentation also aids in regulatory compliance by allowing strict access controls on sensitive data zones, making it more challenging for attackers to reach critical systems even if one segment is breached. </p><p class=""><em>Mamori’s </em><a href="https://www.mamori.io/zero-trust-network-access-solution"><em>ZTNA solution</em></a><em> allows you to easily micro-segment networks based on least privilege and third-party access by using IP and port-level access controls. Mamori offers a </em><a href="https://www.mamori.io/ztna-solution"><em>free ZTNA solution</em></a><em> for businesses with 20 users or less.</em></p><h2 id="2">2. Secure Endpoints</h2><p class=""><strong>Device Registration &amp; Monitoring:</strong> Every device accessing the network should be registered, and its access monitored to prevent unknown or unauthorized devices from gaining access to critical resources. This includes both corporate and personal devices under a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy. Monitoring each device’s activity ensures that any unusual patterns are flagged and addressed promptly. </p><p class=""><em>Mamori helps enforce zero-trust principles that includes device registration and monitoring without needing an agent installed at endpoints. </em></p><p class=""><strong>Endpoint Isolation:</strong> Implementing a zero-trust approach by segregating end-user devices from the corporate network limits exposure when a device is compromised. Devices should have restricted access to minimize potential damage in the event of a breach. This isolation strategy, combined with network micro-segmentation, prevents attackers from moving across the network and create havoc. </p><p class=""><em>Mamori assumes all endpoints are already compromised. This is how our </em><a href="https://www.mamori.io/zero-trust-network-access-solution"><em>ZTNA solution</em></a><em> isolates endpoints and restricts the level of access of each endpoint, verified using 2FA. </em></p><p class=""><strong>Restrict Lateral Movement &amp; Block Unauthorized Scanning:</strong> Attackers often rely on moving laterally within a network to find valuable data. By deploying tools to block lateral movement and unauthorized scanning, organizations can disrupt this tactic. Network monitoring solutions can identify suspicious activities, such as internal scans that may indicate an attacker probing for vulnerabilities. </p><p class=""><em>Mamori automatically blocks unsolicited or unauthorized network scans, and relevant stakeholders will be immediately notified. </em></p><h2 id="3">3. Implement Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)</h2><p class="">Enforcing 2FA on all access points is an essential barrier against unauthorized entry. This control ensures that even if credentials are compromised, attackers still require a second authentication factor, such as a mobile app code or physical token, to gain access. For higher-value assets, consider more granular 2FA controls that limit specific data interactions. </p><p class=""><em>That is the approach that Mamori takes. Mamori.io ensures 2FA is implemented not just on resource access, but also on data operations as well. </em></p><h2 id="4">4. Protect Access Credentials</h2><p class=""><strong>Privileged Access Management (PAM):</strong> <a href="https://www.mamori.io/m4pam">PAM</a> is critical for restricting and managing access to sensitive systems, ensuring that only authorized users can reach high-value assets. By using PAM, organizations can enforce the principle of least privilege, whereby users are only granted access to resources necessary for their roles. PAM also makes it harder for attackers to misuse privileged accounts.</p><p class=""><em>Mamori’s </em><a href="https://www.mamori.io/m4pam"><em>M4PAM</em></a><em> uses a modern zero-trust approach to privileged access. Mamori offers a </em><a href="https://www.mamori.io/free-pam-solution"><em>free PAM solution</em></a><em> for businesses with 20 users or less. </em></p><p class=""><strong>Database Privileged Access Management (DBPAM):</strong> One common <a href="https://www.mamori.io/blog/pam-cybersecurity-strengths-flaws-and-a-better-approach">flaw of most PAM solutions</a> is that they do not extend to the database. DBPAM extends PAM to databases, safeguarding the core data stores from unauthorized access and misuse. This added layer prevents direct access to sensitive data and limits specific database operations based on user role and necessity (principle of least privilege). </p><p class=""><em>Mamori’s </em><a href="https://www.mamori.io/db-pam-solution"><em>DBPAM solution</em></a><em> extends PAM to the database to easily control, monitor, and record accesses and operations in your servers and database sessions. </em></p><h2 id="5">5. Strengthen Data Policies</h2><p class=""><strong>Data Access &amp; Privacy Policies:</strong> DBPAM allows you to implement data access policies that define who can access specific data types and under what conditions, ensuring that sensitive information is only available to those with a legitimate need. In addition, policies can be created so accessed data can be masked to adhere to privacy regulations. These policies help reduce the risk of internal threats and improve compliance.</p><p class=""><em>Mamori’s </em><a href="https://www.mamori.io/db-pam-solution"><em>DBPAM solution</em></a><em> allows you to set database access policies (i.e. role-based, on-demand, and 2FA access) and privacy policies (access control by tables, columns, rows; dynamic data masking; multiple policies per table). </em></p><p class=""><strong>Data Extraction Controls:</strong> Monitoring and controlling data extraction ensures data remains within secure, trusted environments. Policies can be set to authorize or deny data extractions while tracking data movement and operations. As a result, organizations can limit the risk of unauthorized data transfer, which is critical to prevent data theft and internal threats.</p><p class=""><em>Mamori’s </em><a href="https://www.mamori.io/db-pam-solution"><em>DBPAM solution</em></a><em> allows you control more than just data extraction policies, but also access control by SQL commands and executables. </em></p><h2 id="6">6. Enable On-Demand Access Workflows</h2><p class=""><strong>ISO 27001 Compliance:</strong> On-demand workflows allow for temporary, purpose-specific access, which eliminates providing excess access privileges and helps avoid forgotten “zombie” accounts. This approach helps <a href="https://www.mamori.io/blog/how-to-simplify-and-automate-iso-27001-access-controls">adopt ISO 27001 controls</a> and reduces the workload on IT admins by automating access approvals based on role and request frequency.</p><p class=""><em>Mamori is able to automate ISO 27001 because we are an all-in-one solution that integrates ZTNA, 2FA, DAM, PAM, SQL Firewall, and data privacy solutions</em></p><p class=""><strong>Improve IT Productivity:</strong> With on-demand workflows, a user has to request access to resources, and the resource access expires and terminates based on policies. This greatly minimizes the workload of IT admins and increases their productivity, eliminating their need to provision access, validating and manage access, and terminating accounts. </p><p class=""><em>Because Mamori automates ISO 27001, days of work can be shortened to 90 minutes or less, as seen in the chart below.</em></p><table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="MsoTableGrid"> <tr> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>Process<p></p></b></p> </td> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>No<br> Automation<p></p></b></p> </td> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>Automated<br> with Mamori.io<p></p></b></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal">Account<br> Creation</p> </td> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>&gt; 4<br> hours<p></p></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal">4 steps</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1 role</p> <p class="MsoNormal">4 systems</p> </td> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>&lt; 1<br> hour<p></p></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal">1 step</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1 role</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1 system<br> (Mamori.io)</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal">Provisioning</p> </td> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>&gt; 4<br> hours<p></p></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal">3 steps</p> <p class="MsoNormal">3 roles</p> <p class="MsoNormal">4 systems</p> </td> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>Immediate<p></p></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal">1 step</p> <p class="MsoNormal">2 roles</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1 system<br> (Mamori.io)</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal">Validity<br> Check</p> </td> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>Days<p></p></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal">4 steps</p> <p class="MsoNormal">2 roles</p> <p class="MsoNormal">4 systems</p> </td> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>Automatic<p></p></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal">0 step</p> <p class="MsoNormal">0 role</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1 system<br> (Mamori.io)</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal">Access<br> Termination</p> </td> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>&gt; 4<br> hours<p></p></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal">4 steps</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1 role</p> <p class="MsoNormal">4 systems</p> </td> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>&lt; 30<br> minutes<p></p></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal">1 step</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1 role</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1 system<br> (Mamori.io)</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>Time<br> Involved<p></p></b></p> </td> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>Days<p></p></b></p> </td> <td width="208" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>&lt; 90 minutes<p></p></b></p> </td> </tr> </table><h2 id="7">7. Enforce Least Privilege Principles</h2><p class="">Using a PAM and DBPAM solution allows you to implement least privilege principles that limit access rights to what a user can view or operate on to perform their duties. This boosts cybersecurity and protects against internal breaches as well. </p><p class="">First, this prevents accidental data exposure that violates data privacy regulations. Second, it eliminates “too much access” when IT admins over-provision a user account access to save time, which can lead to both internal data theft or external threat when the user account is compromised. Third, least privilege principles limits exposure of critical resources when a user account is compromised. </p><p class=""><em>Mamori.io’s PAM and DBPAM capabilities helps you enforce policies that ensure users are given only the permissions necessary for their tasks, reducing the risk of privilege escalation attacks and internal threats.</em></p><h2 id="8">8. Invest in Real-Time Threat Detection</h2><p class="">Real-time threat detection systems provide ongoing monitoring of network activity, identifying any unusual patterns that may indicate an attack. This proactive approach allows for swift intervention before a potential breach occurs. For example, intrusion detection systems (IDS) and behavioral analytics can help detect unauthorized access attempts and alert security teams promptly. </p><p class=""><em>Mamori offers a </em><a href="https://www.mamori.io/free-intrusion-detection-solution"><em>free intrusion detection and prevention solution</em></a><em> for businesses with 20 users or less. </em></p><h2 id="9">9. Establish Comprehensive Monitoring and Alerts</h2><p class=""><strong>Activity Monitoring:</strong> Monitoring and logging should be in place across all activities across the entire network – from user access to operations executed. This continuous oversight is essential for identifying security issues, fulfilling audit requirements, and responding to incidents. This visibility also supports post-incident forensics by providing a clear audit trail of system access​ and data operations.</p><p class=""><strong>Real-Time Alerts:</strong> Utilize tools that track detailed user actions and system events. By ensuring all network traffic is monitored, the system can swiftly identify and create alert notifications, such as network scans or unauthorized data extractions. </p><p class=""><em>Mamori provides both activity monitoring and real-time alerts to detect any unusual activity so you can swiftly respond to potential security incidents.</em></p><h2 id="10">10. Conduct Continuous Audits and Compliance Checks</h2><p class="">Continuous audits help verify that security measures remain effective and compliant with industry regulations. This ensures all controls are in place and functioning as expected. These audits help identify weaknesses and enforce compliance, ensuring that the organization maintains a strong security posture over time.</p><p class=""><em>Mamori automatically logs all accesses, sessions, and activities to simplify audits and compliance checks.</em></p><h2 id="best">Mamori Enables You to Implement Data Security Best Practices</h2><p class="">Building a resilient data security strategy is essential in today’s cyber landscape. By implementing the best practices mentioned in this article, businesses can better protect critical assets from cyber threats and internal threats. </p><p class="">Comprehensive security requires multiple layers of security, and Mamori enables you to implement them – from end-points to the network and all the way to the database and workflow controls.
