3 ways Guardian can protect your technology

What is Cloudhouse Guardian?

Cloudhouse Guardian manages your organisation’s internal security, configuration risks and technological changes. 

Guardian scans your entire estate (servers, desktops, laptops, network infrastructure etc), and detects and tracks the configuration of each device or software to determine what is out of date/non-compliant. It uses that information and automatically updates the technology to its best practice.

The importance of protecting your technology

Protecting your technology is vital to avoiding many types of cyberattacks and security breaches, which could result in business interruption. This could not only have an effect on your day-to-day business operations but your customers too. If data breaches occur, private information could be leaked, allowing your customers to become targets of ransomware attacks and in turn causing reputational harm to your organisation.

How can Guardian protect you?

1. Guardian identifies gaps in your technology, spots security flaws early and detects misconfiguration.
Misconfigurations are a common way for attackers to access your devices – even though you may be unaware of any, ports left open on the internet are easy points of entry for attackers. Guardian detects these flaws before they can be exploited and automatically heightens your security by adjusting any out-of-date configurations to their optimal form, covering the gaps for potential security breaches.

2. Avoid configuration drift through continual monitoring of your estate.
Guardian doesn’t just detect issues but builds and maintains resistance in your technology. It compares the changes in your systems and environments over time and provides visibility and control of your configuration flaws. Guardian allows you to proactively act on misconfigurations and reduce the risk of cyberattacks.

3. Software auditing – ensure the right processes are being used, in the most effective and secure way.
Guardian validates all of your processes in one solution and alerts the correct parties if something goes wrong. This allows you to understand how well your current processes are or are not working and the necessary software/patches to install to improve them.

Guardian helps prevent exploitation of your technology, helping to avoid attacks against your business and customers.
