Does FirstNet's managed cybersecurity cover cloud and hybrid environments?

Security · Answered by FirstNet Technology Services

Short answer

Yes. FirstNet's managed cybersecurity protects on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments with consistent visibility and control, so cloud workloads and SaaS users are not treated as a separate security problem.

In detail

How cloud is covered depends on the services in your contract:

  • Sophos XDR and MDR connect to Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS and Google Workspace for identity and cloud telemetry
  • A cloud access security broker (CASB) from Netskope or Cloudflare finds risky sharing, misconfigurations and unsanctioned SaaS and AI apps
  • Fortinet Hosted VDOM firewalls can act as the firewall layer for FirstNet Private Cloud workloads and connected sites
  • Cloudflare protects public-facing apps and APIs with WAF, DDoS and bot protection at the edge
  • Mimecast sits in front of Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace email

Cloud security is scoped like every other layer: FirstNet confirms which platforms, tenants and workloads are in scope during discovery. Compliance remains a shared responsibility that depends on your configuration and governance.

A FirstNet security architect can map your cloud estate to the right controls.
