Everyone should care about cybersecurity and the threats associated with the cloud. Today, organizations are facing a wide range of cloud-based dangers ransomware attacks, data breaches, and vulnerabilities within their cloud workflows. Despite the growing dependence on cloud infrastructure, many lack the tools to fully understand and combat these threats.

In the past year alone, nearly 300 million records were compromised. This highlights the urgent need for robust cloud detection and response capabilities. Mitiga offers a solution that goes beyond traditional prevention methods by providing deep insight and situational awareness across multiple cloud instances. Unlike other solutions that focus on a single aspect of security—typically prevention—Mitiga looks across the entire environment, offering a comprehensive view that is crucial for effective cloud security.

Healthcare providers, in particular, face unique threats in the cloud. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many healthcare organizations rushed into cloud adoption without sufficient strategy or planning. These rushed migrations left systems vulnerable. Today, many of these organizations continue to operate in cloud environments without fully grasping the associated risks. The threats they face in the cloud differ significantly from those in on-premise environments, ranging from identity-related issues to vulnerabilities within platforms like Office 365. Often, cloud providers themselves may not fully understand what resides in their infrastructure, further complicating the risk landscape.

Looking beyond prevention, cloud-based detection and response is essential. With platforms such as AWS, Azure, and GCP in play, organizations need visibility across all cloud providers. Prevention can only go so far—breaches and attacks are inevitable. Therefore, rapid detection and effective response are critical. Existing solutions like identity management tools, SaaS-based security offerings, and cloud posture management platforms often fall short because they provide only a narrow, isolated view. These single-threaded solutions lack the holistic perspective that a Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) platform like Mitiga can offer.

Mitiga stands out by delivering visibility into workflows and enabling advanced threat hunting. It empowers organizations with deep AI-driven insights and the ability to monitor across diverse cloud environments. Its forensic readiness is particularly noteworthy, allowing organizations to understand how they are configured across various cloud platforms. Mitiga’s forensic lake can retain data for up to a thousand days, enabling in-depth investigations and proactive threat hunting. With these capabilities, Mitiga provides a breadth of functionality that other solutions simply cannot match, making it a compelling choice for any organization concerned with cloud security.
