What is Platform Security?

Platform Security is comprised of tools, processes, and an umbrella architecture that provide security for an enterprise’s entire computing platform. Platform security often rely on a unified bundle of hardware and software that protect both traditional IT infrastructure and software-defined hardware, storage, and network components along with the operating systems and applications that reside on those platforms.

Common Use Case of Platform Security?

Use Cases for platform security solutions include

Threat Hunting

Platform security solutions help advance the SOC with sophisticated detection that combines custom and cloud-native threat intelligence, automated watch lists, and simplified integrations with the rest of the security stack. This allows organizations to remain ahead of advanced threats.

Ransomware Protection

Platform security helps stop currentand future ransomware variants by constantly monitoring event streams that are related to ransomware attacks. Additionally, platform security solutions can trap ransomware of many types including file-less and otherwise unknown versions, all before the payload can be deployed. This can prevent attacks on critical files before it can occur.

Anti-virus Replacement

Since time is of the essence when battling cyber-attacks, platform security reduces the exposure to ongoing threats including advanced and persistent threats enabling organizations to move rapidly to ameliorate virus attacks. Platforms like VMware Carbon Black empower enterprises with higher levels of control and visibility, enabling remediation on any endpoint from a central console with intuitive commands, presenting a single, unified security stack.

Benefits of a Data Protection Platform

Improved efficiency

A data security platform integrates multiple security measures and technologies into a single, comprehensive solution. This reduces the need to manage multiple-point solutions and improves efficiency.

Enhanced compliance

Organizations must comply with various data protection regulations, such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, along with internal data governance. A data security platform helps meet these requirements, which can reduce the risk of financial penalties and legal liability.
