Cybersecurity attacks are becoming progressively complex with an increase in Cloud, Digitization, and Work-from-Anywhere practices. State, Local, and Education (SLED) organizations must begin improving their security posture and aligning to a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). Since organizations are required to move away from perimeter-based security solutions, they will need to modernize their IT operations, increase agility, and work to implement network, application, user and data-based security to support mission success based on Zero Trust.
This is where Nutanix comes in, helping you protect your SLED organization’s public information from cyber threats. Over time, Nutanix has honed in on the core concepts of security while improving data resiliency strategies. We have elevated our presence in the security space by releasing new solutions with a proactive security focus.
When it comes to securing data and making sure your organization is prepared for a cybersecurity incident, Nutanix’s philosophy is: prevent, detect, and recover.
Prevention, above all else, is the most ideal solution for keeping an organization’s security posture in good standing. Attacks often start with phishing through email or malicious web pages, but there are a number of best practices that SLED organizations can take to prevent these occurrences.
Prevention must also take place within an organization’s datacenters. Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) was created to aptly meet the needs of the modern datacenter infrastructure against sophisticated cybersecurity threats. Organizations can no longer just rely on perimeter-based network security with the disparate nature of IT infrastructure that exists today. Nutanix® technologies can help to improve security posture to align with your organization’s ZTA approach.
Though some of these implementations to support ZTA can be difficult to accomplish, Nutanix offers multiple solutions to assist with prevention. Nutanix Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) makes managing these best practices easier while simplifying storage and virtualization.
Sometimes these best practices can be missed which could inadvertently cause a vulnerability. To prevent this, a strategic detection operation to catch threats before they can cause extensive damage can be leveraged. Some suggestions to support this are:
Nutanix offers an array of detection solutions that your organization can implement to better understand where a threat is coming from. These can help your organization understand where a threat is penetrating and what you may need to do about it. Some of the most helpful Nutanix Solutions are:
Once an attack is underway and the weak spots have been breached, it’s time to think about recovery. Though many organizations have a recovery plan, here are some best practices you should be mindful of:
When using the Nutanix platform, be assured that it includes built-in Disaster Recovery (DR) to help you create the best Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BCDR) plan after a cyberattack.
