Tehama Raises Standard for Cybersecurity in Hybrid, Remote Work

Tehama, a cybersecurity platform for the delivery of secure hybrid and remote work for enterprises, has launched several features designed to improve the security posture of hybrid and remote work environments.

“As more businesses move to the cloud, the risk of cyberattacks is on the rise. The  cost of data loss associated with these attacks alone, is growing exponentially with the estimated average cost of a data breach reaching close to $9.5 million in 2022, up from $5.5 million a decade ago,” said Kevin Haaland, Chief Technology Officer, Tehama. “Compounding this is the complexity of enabling secure remote or hybrid work. Securing disparate hardware and software used across the enterprise to drive employee productivity, not only presents new challenges and costs but makes it imperative that businesses act immediately in shoring up their security posture.”

Tehama’s File Vault Data Loss Prevention service empowers CISOs and chief compliance officers) by providing full data and audit visibility, including policy enforcement and automation. Organizations can categorize files based on sensitivity, manage access, track activity and audit as required with Tehama’s integrated activity stream.

For security and compliance administrators, Tehama’s single sign-on integration with advanced identity management delivers authentication and enforcement by combining Tehama’s core capabilities in identity administration and policy automation, with the ability to integrate with existing security assertion markup language (SAML) and/or system for cross-domain identity management (SCIM) providers. Additionally, Tehama has expanded access controls to enable integrated multi-factor authentication (MFA) protocols, which reinforces policy compliance and prevents accounts from being compromised.

To further enhance security, Tehama incorporated and automated the guidelines set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and upgraded its password hashing algorithm to SHA-265. “This enables us to achieve a higher password encryption standard, while also improving validation for Google single sign-on authentication,” Haaland said.
