Challenge 1: Address compliance mandates
“60% of organisations have yet to bring SharePoint into line with existing data compliance policies.” – AIIM 2011
SharePoint security gap
Native SharePoint activity monitoring lacks an intuitive, easy-to-use interface for reporting and analytics. Without a third-party solution, businesses must first decode SharePoint’s internal representation of log data before they can access meaningful information.
Action
Use enterprise-class technology that combines permissions and activity details to automate compliance reporting.
The advantage
Generate compliance reports on time and tailored to each recipient’s needs.
Drill down, filter and organise data.
Enrich native data with relevant information, such as type of data, department and data owner.
Challenge 2: Respond to suspicious activity in real time
“96% of breaches were avoidable through simple or intermediate controls.” – Verizon Data Breach Report 2011
SharePoint security gap
Native SharePoint activity auditing does not provide the ability to automatically analyse access activity and respond with an alert or block.
Action
Use a policy framework to build rules across SharePoint’s web, file and database components to identify suspicious behaviour and complement native access controls.
The advantage
Monitor, control and respond to suspicious activity in real time.
Balance the need for trust and openness with security concerns.
Challenge 3: Protect web applications from attack
“31% of organisations are using SharePoint for externally facing websites, and another 47% are planning to do so.” – Forrester Research, Inc. 2011
SharePoint security gap
Native SharePoint does not include web application firewall protection.
Action
Deploy a proven web application firewall (WAF) technology.
The advantage
Provide a powerful defence against common attacks, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting.
Streamline and automate regulatory compliance.
Mitigate data risk.
