About Access Visibility

Abstract

The Access Visibility feature of CloudConnexa provides observability into the traffic that flows through your WPC.

Which private applications are users accessing and when? How can I discover internal private applications that users are trying to access and for which access policies are not set? Are the access policies working as intended? These questions are of vital importance to the implementation of the zero-trust framework. Access Visibility answers these questions by providing you the statistics on access events for every source-destination pair to which traffic is sent or blocked in a manner that is easy to filter and drill down.

Access Visibility analyzes traffic flow logs to provide information about what is accessed and by whom. Using this information, you can do the following:

  • Check that the Access Groups and per-app firewalls are being enforced.

  • Discover internal services based on detailed traffic flow information.

  • Identify which Users, Networks, and Hosts are accessing the internet via Internet Gateways.

  • Determine whether there was legitimate or malicious intent when traffic flows get blocked.

  • Troubleshoot any unexpected traffic routing issues.

Caution

Cyber Shield logs and events are separate from the traffic flow logs that Access Visibility analyzes. There is a possibility that traffic flows and the resultant access events shown as 'allowed' in Access Visibility may be blocked by Cyber Shield traffic filtering.
