Policy orchestration is becoming increasingly important when it comes to information security. It is a key part of an organization’s strategy for managing security and compliance risks, as well as ensuring that its IT infrastructure is operating securely and efficiently.
At its core, policy orchestration involves the automation and management of security policies across multiple systems, applications, and devices. This can include firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, identity management systems, and other security tools that are used to protect an organization’s IT environment.
The goal of policy orchestration is to provide a centralized platform that enables the organization to define, implement, and enforce security policies consistently and efficiently. This is particularly important in large and complex IT environments, where manual policy enforcement can be time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to manage.
A policy orchestration platform typically provides a range of features that support the creation and management of security policies. This can include risk analysis, compliance reporting, and event correlation and analysis, as well as automated enforcement and remediation.
For example, a policy orchestration platform might enable an organization to define a set of security policies that apply to all of its cloud-based applications. These policies might include rules that restrict access to sensitive data or that require multi-factor authentication for certain types of users.
Once these policies have been defined, the policy orchestration platform can automatically enforce them across all of the organization’s cloud-based applications, ensuring that the policies are being followed consistently and efficiently. The platform might also provide alerts and notifications when policy violations are detected, or when security incidents occur.
Overall, policy orchestration is a critical process for organizations that want to manage their security and compliance risks effectively. By automating policy enforcement and providing centralized policy management and reporting, policy orchestration platforms can help organizations reduce the risk of security breaches, ensure compliance with regulations and standards, and respond quickly and effectively to security incidents.
As organizations continue to embrace digital transformation and migrate to the cloud, managing security policies and configurations across different domains and resources becomes an increasingly complex and challenging task. This is where policy orchestration solutions come into play, providing a centralized management approach that helps organizations manage and control their policies from a single location.
The first key capability of policy orchestration solutions is the provision of a single point of control, enabling organizations to:
The second key capability of policy orchestration solutions is the ability to extend processes to non-Windows resources, such as Linux and UNIX. This functionality helps organizations:
The third essential capability of policy orchestration solutions is change intelligence and analysis, which:
With the integration of native administration tools, workflow-enabled change management, and detailed reporting of resource across the enterprise, policy orchestration solutions offer a robust and comprehensive approach to Active Directory policy management.
The solution enforces directory policies both on and off cloud, provides rollback capabilities, and enforces workflow approval prior to committing changes. This allows LOB administrators to perform Active Directory tasks with reduced risk and greater efficiency.
Policy orchestration solutions are essential for organizations looking to simplify and streamline policy management across different domains and resources. With the provision of a single point of control, extension of processes to non-windows resources, change intelligence and analysis, and reduction of native Active Directory permissions, policy orchestration solutions provide a comprehensive approach to policy management, enabling organizations to ensure the overall security and efficiency of their IT environment.
Policy orchestration involves assessing, protecting, and detecting policies and procedures within an organization.
Assess
Identifying and evaluating the individuals who have access to or can change GPOs, including their level of access, admin privilege, duration of access, and other needs.
Protect
Protecting and remediating potential threats that extend outside of the organization’s environment by documenting, testing, validating, and deploying policies.
Detect
Observe all GPO configuration changes—monitoring granular level changes in real-time, seamlessly creating audit logs and reports, and ensuring that proper approval and testing processes are in place.
Policy orchestration solutions provide significant business value to organizations, including:
As demonstrated above, policy orchestration solutions can provide significant business value for organizations, helping them improve security and compliance, increase efficiency, respond faster to security threats, reduce the risk of human error, improve visibility and control, and improve collaboration and delegation.
Selecting the right policy orchestration solution is crucial for organizations to ensure that their security policies are consistently enforced and aligned with their business goals. Here are some additional factors that organizations should consider when selecting a policy orchestration solution:
In conclusion, selecting the right policy orchestration solution is critical in order for organizations to align their security policies with their business goals, ensure consistent policy enforcement, and minimize the risk of security incidents.
