Bell partners with Palo Alto Networks to help Canadian businesses identify threats and protect their cloud-based data

MONTRÉAL, March 29, 2023 /CNW/ - As organizations use more cloud services, they face countless configuration, management and compliance challenges and security risks, and they require a level of expertise that many cybersecurity teams do not possess in-house. To better support Canadian businesses managing their cloud security, Bell announced today the launch of two new cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) solutions: Cloud Security Posture Assessment (CSPA), powered by Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud, and Cloud Security Posture Protection (CSPP). These advanced cybersecurity solutions identify threats to enterprise data in the cloud and provide managed services to protect data across complex hybrid, multi-cloud environments.

Bell's CNAPP solutions are the most comprehensive of their type available to Canadian organizations, and Bell is the only vendor in Canada to deliver a managed CNAPP security offering in partnership with Palo Alto powered by Prisma Cloud.

CSPA examines an organization's assets in the cloud and provides a view into existing security gaps. The service connects to all cloud environments to scan and discover assets and their configuration information, which is then analyzed and compared to customer-specified standards and Cloud Security Alliance's Cloud Controls Matrix, a set of industry standards for cloud security assurance and compliance. A report is generated, identifying gaps in security configurations and standards compliance, along with recommendations for improvement.

With several levels of service packages, Bell's CSPP solution is a managed service that provides ongoing insight, visibility, and management of security for workloads or applications delivered from public clouds. This ensures that all cloud services are properly configured across all environments with proactive alerts, empowering organizations to address any issues internally or to entrust that care to Bell's security experts.
