CWPP products are of key value to the security of the retail industry, can greatly improve the security level of the retail industry, and are essential security products for the retail industry.
Characteristics of the retail industry
The retail industry is characterized by real-time online and unique value of data. The security challenge is the lack of security investment and personnel.
In terms of real-time online , the online retail industry is an industry trend, and online requires 7*24 hours of operation. The real-time online feature gives hackers more time to find loopholes, destroy and steal data.
In terms of data value , the retail industry often has personal data such as members. These data are valuable targets for hackers and must be properly protected.
In terms of lack of security investment and personnel, the retail industry is different from highly regulated industries. It often has low awareness of information security and insufficient investment. Except for large-scale enterprises, there are often no full-time security personnel.
In view of the above characteristics, CWPP products have unique value in the retail industry. The concept of CWPP was proposed by Gartner. The full name of CWPP is Cloud Workload Protection Platform, which is the cloud workload protection platform. The main protection target of CWPP is the workload on the server. The server can be a cloud host or a container of a local or different public cloud.
Four Values of CWPP Products to the Retail Industry
CWPP products have four major values for the retail industry.
The first is real-time security protection. CWPP has a client on the server, which can check the system, application, process and network of the server in real time, discover system and application vulnerabilities, and discover suspected attacks. Send alarms to suspected attacks to remind administrators to take measures.
The second is data protection. CWPP is also valuable for data security. Through the protection of data servers, attacks and theft of data can be discovered. All security attacks are to obtain data, and CWPP can detect data theft, which is the last line of defense for security.
The third is continuous security optimization. CWPP continuously discovers system and application loopholes, and the system security level can be improved by repairing the loopholes. Continuous security optimization can be achieved by repeating this process. From this perspective, CWPP is a cost-effective security product, especially for retail industries with limited security budgets. CWPP can be considered the most preferred security product.
The fourth is cross-platform unified security management. The retail industry often uses multi-cloud and hybrid clouds. By deploying CWPP, cross-platform unified security management can be realized, and it supports unified management of multiple cloud platforms in one management interface. Security products have more advantages in unified management and cost performance.
In addition, CWPP products also have functions such as asset inventory, baseline inspection, behavior audit, and virus inspection.
Precautions for using CWPP products
There are four considerations for CWPP products.
First of all, the security problems discovered should be optimized and dealt with in a timely manner. Only with a good handling mechanism can the value of CWPP products be brought into play and the security level be improved.
The second is to keep the version updated. The security check depends on the information base, and the timely update of the information base can detect relatively new vulnerabilities.
The third is that you need to be familiar with the configuration of CWPP products. Any security product configuration needs to be continuously tuned, and you need to optimize the configuration based on your actual situation.
The fourth is the security of the CWPP server itself. The CWPP server can access all hosts, so adequate security measures must be taken.
