We are excited to announce that BastionZero will soon be available in 2GC! This solution will make infrastructure access even more secure, convenient, and protected. Learn how 2GC simplifies remote access and enhances your business’s security with modern access management solutions. BastionZero provides centralized access management to resources such as servers, databases, and Kubernetes clusters using Zero Trust principles, significantly increasing the level of security. This feature integrates with the Cloudflare platform to provide more reliable infrastructure protection.
Why is BastionZero important for infrastructure security?
Today, many companies continue to use tools like VPN, RDP, and SSH to access their resources. However, VPNs often do not provide reliable security for businesses, and modern approaches such as Zero Trust are becoming increasingly relevant. These methods, however, have their shortcomings and risks, making them less reliable and more challenging to manage:
-
VPN: Traditional VPNs create many challenges, from configuration to security issues. VPNs provide access at the network level, making it vulnerable if an attacker gains access. This can lead to the compromise of all corporate resources.
-
RDP: RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) often becomes the target of attacks, such as password guessing and credential stuffing. Without multi-factor authentication and proper access management, the risk of compromise increases significantly. Attackers can easily exploit weak passwords to gain access to systems.
-
SSH: SSH (Secure Shell) is an essential tool for accessing servers, but managing SSH keys requires special attention. Keys must be updated and monitored regularly, as any key leak can provide an attacker with direct access to the company’s critical resources. This creates significant risks, especially with a large number of users and servers.
How does BastionZero solve these problems?
With the addition of BastionZero in 2GC, these risks will be significantly reduced. Here are some of the key benefits of BastionZero:
-
Centralized access management: BastionZero allows for centralized management of infrastructure access, providing control at the resource level rather than the network level. This makes access management more flexible and secure, allowing easy control of user permissions.
-
Efficient Privileged Access Management (PAM): BastionZero eliminates the need for long-lived keys and passwords, using a new temporary and decentralized approach. This helps avoid data leaks and ensures compliance with the principle of least privileged access.
-
Integration with SSO (Single Sign-On): BastionZero integrates with Single Sign-On, simplifying the login process and eliminating the need to store numerous passwords. Using SSO reduces the risk of credential theft and improves the user experience.
-
Clientless RDP access: BastionZero provides RDP access to desktops without requiring a client installation on the user’s device, significantly simplifying the remote connection process.
-
Session recording and control: When using SSH, BastionZero records sessions and logs every command, providing better visibility and compliance. This is especially important for security and auditing user actions.
BastionZero and 2GC: The future of security
With the addition of BastionZero to 2GC, we aim to eliminate the risks associated with traditional access methods and provide organizations with a modern way to securely and conveniently manage infrastructure access. Learn more about Zero Trust and why it is important for businesses. BastionZero helps security teams centrally manage even more of the hybrid IT environment, keeping DevOps teams productive and secure. BastionZero integrates with Cloudflare solutions to provide an even higher level of security for your business.
Expect improvements to 2GC very soon — we are doing everything possible to make your infrastructure access as secure and convenient as possible, using advanced Zero Trust technologies and a modern approach to access management. BastionZero is a new level of protection that allows us to think about security in terms of resources and targets, rather than IP addresses and ports.
