Cloud Security Policy Orchestration
Deloitte’s approach to shift-left security
Managing security in the cloud and driving business enablement by embracing both security and digital transformation together can be a challenge for even the most mature enterprises, and those challenges can be compounded in multi-cloud environments. Cloud Security Policy Orchestration (CSPO), a policy-driven approach to shift-left security, can help with broad visibility into cloud assets across the multi-cloud landscape and enforce security policy-as-code uniformly across the software development life cycle.

Common challenges of managing cloud security
With a multi-cloud infrastructure deployment, many organizations:
- Lack contextualized visibility into overall cloud security posture across a multi-cloud infrastructure deployment
- Experience fatigue from multiple security alerts, making it a challenge to prioritize security issues that require attention
- Lack tools to enable proactive security via DevSecOps and shift-left methodologies
- Are not able to uniformly apply security policies across the software development life cycle
- Experience limited integration and automation to uniformly handle security responses, including alerting, ticketing, and remediation
Gain confidence when facing the latest cyber and
strategic risk challenges while delivering predictable cybersecurity and
business enablement outcomes
(CSPO) provides a broad view of your multi-cloud security posture and serves as the hub for managing policy-as-code security policies to enable DevSecOps and shift security left.
• Create, edit, customize, test, and centrally manage your security policies via GitOps and decide when and where (i.e., to which parts of your infrastructure should specific policies be applied)
• Alert developers to potential policy and security violations even as they develop (via custom integrations with the integrated development environment and help prevent security issues downstream in the development life cycle
• Enforce code checks against the same set of policies as part of the continuous integration or deployment pipeline to identify issues before deployment
• Continuously monitor and evaluate deployed code for policy violations using a centralized policy library
• Create tickets, trigger alerts, and automation for remediation and workflows in response to policy violations
Cloud Security Policy Orchestration (CSPO) includes a broad policy library that is delivered as customizable policy-as-code.
• Up-to-date coverage for industry-specific compliance and security requirements, such as NIST 800-53, HITRUST CSF, CIS, and PCI-DSS, and other frameworks.
• Policy-as-code written in rego (as defined by OPA - Open Policy Agent) that is editable and manageable via GitOps.
• Pinpoint application of policies to cloud resources that allows selected policies to be targeted to specific parts of the cloud hierarchy enabling focused policy monitoring.
