IP Fabric Broadens Solution to Incorporate Security and Compliance Regulations
In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, maintaining a secure and compliant infrastructure is paramount for businesses. Recognising this need, IP Fabric, a leading provider of network automation solutions, has announced the release of new tools designed to help teams meet various security frameworks and regulatory standards.
According to Pavel Bykov, co-founder and CEO of IP Fabric, "Security and regulatory compliance require continuous governance from day one." In response, IP Fabric's Automated Infrastructure Assurance Platform is designed to close the gaps in visibility that traditional infrastructure tools often leave, creating potential exposures to compliance failures.
One of the key features of IP Fabric's platform is its compliance mapping resources, which align infrastructure with major security regulatory frameworks such as NIST 2.0, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, DORA, and NIS2. This ensures that organisations can meet the stringent requirements of these frameworks, reducing the risk of non-compliance.
The platform also offers end-to-end discovery, integrating cloud, network, and security data into a single source of truth. This comprehensive visibility over all infrastructure devices and configurations enables teams to maintain infrastructure resilience, availability, and security as they innovate, while meeting compliance requirements.
Another crucial aspect of the platform is its device and configuration management. IP Fabric can discover unknown devices or unauthorized removals, ensuring that all equipment is accounted for and secure. It also identifies End-of-Life (EoL) devices, which is crucial for maintaining compliance and reducing security risks.
The platform runs custom and built-in intent checks to ensure adherence to Zero Trust architecture principles, enhancing security postures. It also provides normalized, vendor-neutral insights that accelerate cross-team collaboration and fuel network-wide automation initiatives.
Furthermore, IP Fabric's platform manages security and compliance policies at scale through closed-loop automation, ensuring that policies are consistently enforced across the infrastructure. It also offers automated documentation, keeping records up to date and reducing administrative burdens.
In the face of rising ransomware attacks, the new tools are designed to address the increasing pressure on organisations to maintain continuous compliance. By closing gaps in visibility, providing comprehensive compliance mapping resources, and offering automated documentation, IP Fabric aims to empower organisations to maintain compliance with regulatory standards and improve their overall security posture.
[1] PCI-DSS: The tools inventory and monitor Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) components, detect firewall gaps, and generate automated compliance snapshots. [2] HIPAA: The tools identify infrastructure handling electronic protected health information (ePHI) and validate encrypted data paths. [3] ISO 27001: IP Fabric's new tools offer a comprehensive inventory of infrastructure, alert for outdated hardware, and simulate Zero Trust control behavior. [4] NIS2: The tools discover devices in hybrid environments, identify End-of-Life hardware, and verify Zero Trust architecture compliance. [5] DORA: IP Fabric's tools map ICT assets, identify outdated technology, cross-reference Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE), and provide audit-ready documentation.
- To address the concerns of maintaining compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), IP Fabric's new tools inventory and monitor Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) components, detect firewall gaps, and generate automated compliance snapshots.
- In response to the need for adherence to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations, IP Fabric's tools identify infrastructure handling electronic protected health information (ePHI) and validate encrypted data paths.
- Recognizing the importance of ISO 27001 standards, IP Fabric's new tools offer a comprehensive inventory of infrastructure, alert for outdated hardware, and simulate Zero Trust control behavior.
- In an effort to verify compliance with the Network and Information Systems Directive (NIS2), IP Fabric's tools discover devices in hybrid environments, identify End-of-Life hardware, and verify Zero Trust architecture compliance.
- To meet the requirements of the DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) organization, IP Fabric's tools map ICT assets, identify outdated technology, cross-reference Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE), and provide audit-ready documentation.
