Cloud Computing Security Features
Comparison of Cloud Computing Security Features features of Product A and Product B
Cisco Duois is well suited in all kinds of scenarios where you need to ensure proper security measurements, I think. We can't just rely on our passwords only, as they can be easily stolen through phishing or data breaches thus keeping multi factor authentication is quite essential. I always prefer MFA or at least 2FA for any critical system.
Wiz is well-suited if you want to run real-time scans against resources that were recently patched or configured. It is good to keep track of vulnerabilities found and what can be done to resolve the issues without having to open up multiple tabs. Overall, it is good to keep an eye on how well cloud teams or cloud security teams are doing.
Getting started with Wiz was quick and painless. The onboarding process was well-structured, and their team provided solid support to help us integrate Wiz into our cloud environments with minimal effort. Documentation is clear, and their customer success team is always on hand to help with any questions, making the adoption process seamless
One of Wiz’s biggest strengths is how clearly it presents security risks. It provides a well organised view of issues, making it easy to see where action is needed. The AI-powered Remediation Wizard is a great feature, offering guided fixes and automation options that speed up resolution, reducing the time spent manually investigating and fixing issues.
The Wiz interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, which is a big plus when dealing with complex environments. Everything is laid out in a way that makes it simple to drill down into issues
Documentation is oftentimes missing key information for proper implementation. This is circumvented by reading third-party guides or contacting support for additional details.
They do not push Fail-Closed as much as I think they should. Fail-Open is fairly trivial to bypass and it should be made known to the customer during setup how much this will affect overall security.
More vendor integration is something that is always craved by administrators. There are so many third-parties to integrate with.
Wiz scanning doesn't detect risks in real time. New sensors are now included and these capabilities are growing. I believe that within a year Wiz will get good real time capabilities
Wiz can generate a lot of alerts, which can be overwhelming, especially if you have a very dynamic environment. It's important to set up filters so that you only receive alerts for the risks that are most important to you.
Wiz can improve the way it augments the vulnerability data with additional data on Technologies. It sometimes has missing technologies but updated its inventory as soon as we opened a case on that.
There are a lot of competing solutions on the market; however, Duo "just works", and there is little to no learning curve for the new members to be acclimated to it. As long as that continues I see it as the preferred option moving forward
La interfaz es intuitiva y fácil de navegar, lo que permite a los usuarios administrar sus dispositivos y acceder a las políticas sin problemas. La integración con las aplicaciones SSO y SaaS facilita aún más el proceso de acceso, mejorando la experiencia del usuario.
The UI is very user-friendly, with documentation available on every page of the application. New users can learn about the product features as they navigate through several different pages, using the instructions at the top of each page, making it quite easy to use.
In the last 5+ years we've been using Duo, there may have been 1 outage that impacted us. We do receive periodic notifications of issues but, for the most part, they impact carriers or functionality that we either don't use, or do not care about.
Since it’s a reputable company, I have received technical support when needed and I trust that if anything else happens I can contact them with any issues. I haven’t experienced bad customer service and I totally feel supported while using this authentication method. No complains so far and the high rating!
Implementation was straight forward and you can isolate different scenarios in order to test new application setup or add to an existing setup. Gui interface is pretty easy to understand and follow. I had no experience with Duo and still manage to easily set up new policies and rules.
Ultimately we ended up going with Cisco Duo because we are a Cisco shop. All of our networking infrastructure, our phones, our wireless environment is Cisco based. It made logical sense to stay with a product that we already have a line of support with. With a smaller support / tech group we depend on outside Cisco support. That support is already here for us, so we stayed with a Cisco product.
Prior to Wiz, I have used mostly AWS security services such as security HUB for CSPM and GuardDuty for threat intel. Although these services are great, it makes it hard to centralize this information in a multi-cloud deployment. It is understandable that AWS native services may provide more info and realtime security analysis of its services, but does not scale well with a growing organization looking to leverage amazing tools from other CSPs. Wiz may not have real time analysis or the most relevant vulnerability findings for cloud platforms compared to their native solutions, but Wiz scales extremely well, which in cases is a more valuable asset.
It's one of those things that only costs money in the sense of you have to convince a leadership team to spend money to save money, right? Like a compromise is far more expensive than duo paying for duo. So specifically it's really just about trying to prevent problems. And so while it costs money and we don't have a direct return on investment that we can point out immediately, I would still always advocate for it just because it keeps security. Paying for security is cheaper than getting compromised essentially.
We haven't completed a full rollout yet, but the goal is to shift left security to all of our product teams so that security is a shared effort across the organization.
We want to be able to demonstrate fast remediations, corrective action plans with tangibles from Wiz in response to audits or red team findings.
We would like to also use information from Wiz to substantiate answers to security questionnaires that customers requires us to fill out in order to do business with them.
