Setting your office to autopilot

How do you want your IT team to spend their valuable time?

Do you want them to prioritize the big ticket, business critical projects such as keeping your business secure and optimizing your internal systems, continuing to add value to your company?

Or do you want them to spend hour after hour (after hour) responding to the backlog of little time sync tasks that stack up through the day? The “can you add my new job title to my email?” or the “John’s just joined but he can’t access…”

With CloudM Automate, you can put thousands of tasks a year on autopilot, saving days worth of work hours and allowing your team to concentrate on the important, interesting challenges keeping your organization moving forward.

Onboarding

When a new employee joins the business, or an employee moves to a new role, we want them to hit the ground running. Nothing stalls this enthusiasm more than having to wait for access to the resources that they need.

With CloudM Automate, you can make sure that they have access to all the shared documents, drives and calendars required for their role and department, on day one. All you have to do is make sure they are added to the correct dynamic user group.

You don’t need to go into each resource that they need and share it with the new starter. A 30 minute slog is now down to 2 minutes, at most!

Offboarding

When it comes time to say goodbye to an employee, a lot of individual tasks land in your IT team’s inbox. For example, you need to secure the user’s account (including changing passwords), transfer the ownership of Docs, Sites, Calendars and Groups, migrate emails, and claim back licenses. Even a simple manual offboarding process can take up roughly 30 minutes of your IT team’s valuable time.

CloudM Automate allows you to craft bespoke offboarding workflows of up to 30 individual tasks, automatically assigned to users based on group membership, all triggered with the press of a single button. No more delays, no more errors, no more manual tasks.

Archive

You need to keep your leavers data – It’s as simple as that. Whether it’s to comply with domestic or global data regulations such as GDPR, or just so you can recall a piece of crucial evidence as part of a legal or HR issue.

CloudM Archive allows you to make sure you are always sending your user’s data to a secure cloud storage bucket, 100% owned and managed by you, as part of an offboarding workflow. When it comes time to delete archived data, in accordance with data retention laws, CloudM Archive automatically purges it based on retention policies.

You will be 100% compliant with none of the manual hassle.

***Added Bonus*** Storing your data in the cloud with CloudM Archive is up to 75% cheaper than using Google Archive User licenses so you will save time AND money.

Integrations

CloudM Automate plays well with a host of other SaaS applications including Slack, Box, Dropbox, Bamboo HR and ADP, giving you even more ways to put menial tasks on autopilot.

 

The first way we do this is to allow you to secure and delete SaaS licenses assigned to a leaver as a simple, single step in your offboarding workflows. This is great for making sure that leavers no longer have access to your company data, but will also save you money on used SaaS licenses.

Then, secondly, we have integrations that allow you to make changes to a user’s profile in one SaaS application and have them automatically sync to CloudM Automate. Even better, these changes can automatically trigger onboarding and offboarding workflows, and email signature changes.

Email Signature Management

Any recently promoted or hired employee needs to update their email signature, but instead of hassling the IT department with a ticket, what if it was all done automatically? We use “variable” labels in our templates that take the latest synced information from a user’s CloudM profile or your organization profile.

In fact, with the integrations mentioned in the section above, your HR team can even change the details directly in Bamboo HR or ADP (as they would have to do normally), with the changes syncing over to CloudM Automate, and triggering changes to the user’s email signature. With ZERO interaction from your IT team required.

Also, our role permissions means you can give the right people the right access to our platform. IT admins can give a Marketing or HR team the permissions to create and assign email signatures, without allowing access to any other administrative features, such as onboarding, offboarding and archive.

Streamline your business with CloudM Automate, the award-winning platform that gives you the ability to automate your office, saving you time, stress and money.

Stellar Cyber to Showcase its Award-Winning Open XDR Platform at the 2023 RSA Cybersecurity Conference

See the only field-validated Open XDR Platform, which protects millions of connected assets and thousands of customers daily, in action during RSAC.

Stellar Cyber, the innovator of Open XDR technology, and recently recognized by Cyber Defense Magazine as the Most Innovative XDR Solution, will exhibit its Open XDR – driven SecOps platform at this year’s RSA cybersecurity conference at Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA, from Monday, April 24th through Thursday, April 27th. 

During the conference, Stellar Cyber experts will deliver on-demand demonstrations highlighting how lean security teams can experience a new streamlined approach to securing a diverse environment, slashing MTTD and MTTR with the Stellar Cyber Open XDR Platform.

Attendees will see how Stellar Cyber’s Open XDR Platform can: 

  • Automate detection of complex multi-vector attacks
  • Deliver hands-free incident context enrichment driving rapid investigations
  • Enable fast threat hunting across a universe of security data
  • Mitigate threats with “point-and-click” response actions 

“We are thrilled to participate in this year’s RSAC and look forward to meeting with security decision-makers that want to improve their security operations,“ says Steve Garrison, Vice President of Marketing at Stellar Cyber. “With so many vendors claiming to deliver similar capabilities and benefits, many buyers may find it difficult to find something that can address their challenges better. Well, we can, and we are prepared to prove it.” 

Since the Stellar Cyber Open XDR Platform debuted over four years ago, enterprises and MSSPs have reported double-digit improvements in both mean times to detect and respond to threats (MTTD & MTTR), meaning their security teams can do more faster. 

Here are two examples of what customers say about the Stellar Cyber Open XDR Platform:

“Stellar Cyber’s Open XDR platform is the only security tool we’ve seen that is so easy to use that it lets us bring in new analysts and have them immediately impact our organization and our customers.”
Brite Security Services

“Stellar Cyber helped close our visibility gap as no other solutions could. As a result, it has become indispensable to our organization, allowing us to act on potential threats immediately.”
Amanda Stowell, Information Security & Privacy Analyst, A-Dec

“The key to delivering results like we are seeing is our obsessive focus on simplicity,” said Sam Jones, Vice President of Product Management at Stellar Cyber. “By incorporating core security capabilities into a single platform and ingesting data from any security product, we eliminate the friction that exists in most security operations. We look forward to demonstrating our unique approach to security to the attendees at this year’s RSA conference.”

Finding MOVEit File Transfer Services

Reports of active exploitation of a zero-day vulnerability in the MOVEit file transfer software are making the rounds this week. The vendor, Progress Software, has released an advisory and this issue has now been assigned CVE-2023-34362. Attackers are abusing a SQL injection vulnerability in the web interface of MOVEit to deploy a web shell and gain access to the data stored within the platform. 

What is the MOVEit Managed File Transfer service?

The MOVEit Managed File Transfer is Windows-based application that supports secure file transfers through a web interface, as well as using SSH and SFTP. Progress Software states that “MOVEit provides secure collaboration and automated file transfers of sensitive data and advanced workflow automation capabilities without the need for scripting. Encryption and activity tracking enable compliance with regulations such as PCI, HIPAA and GDPR”. MOVEit is widely used for transferring sensitive information between a regulated organization and outside parties. MOVEit services are exposed to the internet by design, as this is necessary for users outside of the organization to use the service.

What is the impact?

Multiple security service providers, including Rapid7 are reporting active exploitation of this issue, with the attack resulting in the installation of “web shell”, often accessed through the path “/human2.aspx”. Progress Software’s advisory indications that users should look for indicators of compromise (IoCs) going back at least 30 days, indicating that this issue may have been actively exploited for weeks, and is only now coming to light. A compromise of the MOVEit server can lead to full exposure of all files managed by the service, access to the user database of the service, and could provide a foothold into the organization’s network, depending on network segmentation rules.

Are updates available?

On May 31th, Progress posted an advisory, including a download link to a patch. This advisory also describe some of the indicators of compromise and what paths and types of logs to look for to determine if the system was breached.

About runZero
runZero, a network discovery and asset inventory solution, was founded in 2018 by HD Moore, the creator of Metasploit. HD envisioned a modern active discovery solution that could find and identify everything on a network–without credentials. As a security researcher and penetration tester, he often employed benign ways to get information leaks and piece them together to build device profiles. Eventually, this work led him to leverage applied research and the discovery techniques developed for security and penetration testing to create runZero.
