■ Background
Everyone's Bank, which was the first in the industry to build a full-cloud banking system, uses many cloud services in its operations. Since cloud services frequently add or change functions, the setting items and details have become complicated, making it extremely difficult to maintain correct settings.
Among cloud services, IaaS and PaaS used to evaluate the security of their settings using CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management). was under load. In addition, incidents such as information leaks due to improper SaaS settings have occurred in Japan, and we felt the need to strengthen countermeasures, so we introduced Adaptive Shield to audit SaaS settings.

■What is Adaptive Shield?
Adaptive Shield is an SSPM specific solution for SaaS configuration audits. For the safe use of a wide variety of SaaS, we provide a function to continuously check mainly security settings and compliance with various compliances.

<Concept of Adaptive Shield>

The following are the decisive factors for implementing Adaptive Shield at Minna no Bank.
・Compatible with all 9 major types of SaaS used and has a sufficient number of security audit items
・Be able to comprehensively and objectively evaluate settings and understand the priority of setting risks that should be addressed.
・There should be no over-detection or false detection, and the alert should be accurate when the settings are incorrect. In addition, alerts can be listed by linking with SIEM (Security Information and Event Management)

■Introduction effects and future prospects
With the introduction of Adaptive Shield, Minna no Bank has systematized the configuration confirmation of each SaaS and has made it easier to manage risk information by listing and visualizing it. Additionally, the settings presented comply with international security standards, making it possible to explain internally with objective evidence. Furthermore, when a configuration flaw is detected, risks are prioritized and alerts are listed in conjunction with SIEM, leading to a reduction in operational load.
In the future, as the number of SaaS audited by Adaptive Shield increases, Minna no Bank is also considering increasing the number of SaaS that are linked to Adaptive Shield. In addition, by integrating and centralizing security information into SIEM through API linkage, we aim to ensure that there are no omissions.
As the primary domestic distributor of Adaptive Shield, Macnica will continue to support customers' secure SaaS operations by leveraging the specialized knowledge we have accumulated and our unique SaaS configuration audit report service.
