Australia and New Zealand — March 7, 2023 — ManageEngine, the enterprise IT management division of Zoho Corporation, today announced that it has added a security and risk posture management dashboard to Log360, its unified security information and event management (SIEM) solution with integrated DLP and CASB capabilities. Enterprises across Australia and New Zealand (A/NZ) can leverage this new feature to implement proactive security strategies and prevent cyberattacks before they occur.

Establishing a proactive security strategy relies largely on assessing the risks of network platforms continuously. Risk assessment and management, if done right, strengthens enterprise security and thereby prevents hackers from intruding in the network. Compliance regulations across regions require enterprises of all industries and sizes to follow security best practices to harden their network infrastructures. AD is often a primary target for adversaries. Continuously assessing AD risks and enhancing its security posture are essential to preventing cyberattacks from happening.

Stolen or compromised credentials are a common attack vector. Once an account within an organisation is compromised, attackers can get a hold of other user accounts, move laterally through the network, and access sensitive data. This is where AD security hardening can help an organisation ward off security threats related to sensitive data. 

“With the introduction of more regional compliance mandates, aligning security and compliance is more crucial than ever and has become an important conversation in board meetings. Security and risk posture management—a proactive security strategy—is an integral part of many compliance requirements,” said Manikandan Thangaraj, vice president of ManageEngine.

“ManageEngine has augmented its unified SIEM solution with security and risk posture management that allows enterprises to gain visibility into the current risk posture of their network resources. This helps identify critical loopholes and vulnerabilities that, if exploited, can cause significant damage. Furthermore, the feature helps curb account compromise and misconfigurations, two of the most commonly used techniques for launching an attack,” Thangaraj said.
