Cloud Security Platform

A service overview and catalog of Cloud Security Platform provided by the UC Berkeley IT Service Hub.

Description

The Information Security Office uses a product called Wiz for Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Cloud Workload Protection (CWP) components.

This is a self-service cloud offering that can be used to monitor cloud environments to inventory and track deployments, find configuration mistakes, and provide additional insight into attacker activity. It also supplies a single interface to evaluate the cloud environments, including multi- and hybrid-cloud configurations, against established policies and best practices.

Benefits & Features

Identifies configuration mistakes and security non-conformances, allowing cloud account owners to maintain a secure baseline even during active deployment through real-time visibility into cloud environments.
Extends campus-level security into the cloud by providing continuous vulnerability assessments, authenticated scans, and intrusion detection (IDS).
Helps departments meet mandatory campus requirements (like MSSEI and MSSND).
