CISA Urges Increased Vigilance One Year After Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine

In response to the CISA alert urging increased vigilance one year after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, organizations must protect their IT environment with advanced security solutions. In its “Shields Up” guidance for organizations, CISA recommends a set of steps to protect against malicious cyber activity, such as:
 
• Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all users
• Implement a Zero Trust architecture
• Implement network segmentation
• Enable logging in order to better investigate issues or events.
• Implement network and application-level firewalls
• Monitor and detect suspicious activity
• Restrict access to critical systems and data
 
The iboss Zero Trust Secure Access Service Edge (SSE) is the ideal solution for organizations looking to protect themselves against the malicious cyber activity outlined by CISA. The iboss platform provides a single, consolidated cloud security service that replaces legacy VPNs, proxies, and VDI with ZTNA, Security Service Edge, and Browser Isolation. This provides organizations with a comprehensive, high-performance security solution that is easy to deploy and manage.
 
The iboss SSE includes multi-factor authentication (MFA) capabilities that can be enforced to all users, including those who access legacy applications that do not support SAML. This ensures that only authenticated users are allowed to access corporate resources. The iboss SSE also provides a Zero Trust architecture that ensures all resources, both on-premise and in the cloud, are protected. This ensures complete network and application segmentation to logically separate resources and restrict access to critical systems and data. The iboss Zero Trust SASE also generates log events continuously for all users, devices, and resources from all locations. Network and application-level firewalls are also included, which allows organizations to control traffic flows and monitor for suspicious activity. The security service provides all of the capabilities at scale and delivered through the cloud so that CISA guidance can be met quickly and easily.
 
The iboss Zero Trust SASE is the ideal solution for organizations looking to protect their environment against malicious cyber activity. With a single, consolidated cloud security service that replaces legacy VPNs, proxies, and VDI with ZTNA, Security Service Edge, and Browser Isolation, organizations can protect their resources and data while providing an improved end-user experience. Organizations can trust iboss to keep them safe.
