Securing Your Infrastructures with Zero Trust, PAM And Auditing

In recent years, companies have increasingly created cloud infrastructures and managed complex, distributed networks. This leads to the urgent need to drastically improve security measures to avoid breaches. From cyberattacks to insider threats, organizations face numerous risks if their network and cloud environments are left unsecured. In today’s evolving digital landscape, companies must go beyond traditional security practices and embrace a comprehensive strategy that includes centralized access control, the Zero Trust model, privileged access management, and auditing.

Here’s why these elements are critical and how our FluxArk Advanced SSH Gateway can provide a robust solution to help businesses secure their infrastructures effectively.

Managing access to network devices, cloud environments, and servers spread across various locations can be big challenging. When access is not centralized, companies face enormous risk of inconsistent security policies, gaps in oversight, and exposure to breaches.

Centralized access control provides a unified platform where administrators can manage all access permissions from one easy to use web interface. This approach simplifies the enforcement of security policies, makes it easier to track who is accessing what, and reduces the attack surface. For companies managing large-scale infrastructures, centralizing access control ensures consistency, eliminates silos, and improves the ability to respond to security threats swiftly.

FluxArk Advanced SSH Gateway delivers this centralization by acting as a secure jump server through which all SSH traffic passes. Our gateway reduces the complexity of managing multiple connections and gives companies full control over their infrastructure access, ensuring stronger security and easier management.

The Zero Trust model operates on the principle of "never trust, always verify." It assumes that every user, device, or service requesting access to the network is a potential threat until proven otherwise. In traditional network setups, users inside the perimeter are often trusted by default. This outdated approach leaves businesses vulnerable to lateral movement attacks, where attackers who breach one system can move freely within the network.

Adopting Zero Trust ensures that every access request is authenticated, authorized, and continuously verified, regardless of where the request originates. This limits the ability of attackers to spread within the network and access sensitive data.

With FluxArk Advanced SSH Gateway, companies can implement a Zero Trust model by using role-based access control (RBAC), two-factor and multi-factor authentication (2FA and MFA), and IP whitelisting to enforce strict access policies. Only verified and authorized users can access specific systems, enhancing security across the entire infrastructure.

Privileged access to critical systems is one of the highest-risk areas in network security. When users have elevated access rights, they can inadvertently or maliciously cause significant damage. Privileged Access Management (PAM) focuses on controlling and monitoring these high-level users to reduce the risk of misuse.

FluxArk offers PAM and this mean that organizations can assign roles, control access privileges, and limit commands users can execute. With PAM, firms can restrict users to only the systems and actions necessary for their roles, preventing unnecessary exposure and reducing the risk of insider threats.

Every company need to follow regulations and maintain audit trails to meet different compliance requirements. With no auditing tools, the businesses lack the transparency needed to prove compliance, and they risk falling out of line with regulations such as GDPR, PCI-DSS and others.

FluxArk has detailed auditing features, including session recording, activity logs, and audit trails. These tools allow the companies to maintain a clear record of all access attempts, commands executed, and changes made. With this visibility, businesses can not only meet compliance requirements but also quickly identify and respond to suspicious activities.
