Cloud apps run your business. Email, files, patient records, customer data. They all live in the cloud now. But this setup creates new risks. Each app is a door that hackers can try to open. GLESEC CAP Solution powered by SKYWATCH OS stops these attacks before they happen. It watches every cloud app you use. It finds weak spots. It blocks threats in real time. For healthcare groups and banks, this protection is not optional. It saves money and keeps you safe.
What Cloud Apps Do You Use Right Now
Think about your day. You check email. You open files in the cloud. You log into software to do your job. Each one is a cloud app. Most teams use 10 to 50 apps. Some use more than 100. Each app stores data. Each app needs login info. Each app talks to other systems.
Banks use cloud apps for loans, payments, and customer accounts. Healthcare groups use them for patient charts, billing, and staff schedules. Every app matters. If one app gets hacked, the whole network is at risk.
You cannot protect what you cannot see. Many IT teams do not know all the apps their staff use. This is called shadow IT. Workers add apps to get their jobs done. But nobody tracks them. Nobody checks if they are safe. CAP Solution finds every app on your network. It shows you what is there. Then it protects each one.
Why Cloud Apps Are Easy Targets
Cloud apps sit outside your building. They live on servers you do not own. You trust the app maker to keep them safe. But hackers know how to attack these apps. They use stolen passwords. They find bugs in the code. They trick users into clicking bad links.
Here are the top ways hackers get into cloud apps. Weak passwords are the most common. Staff pick simple words. They use the same password for many apps. When one account gets hacked, they all do. Hackers also use phishing emails. They send fake messages that look real. Staff click a link and give up their login info. Or hackers find a bug in the app itself. They use it to get inside without a password.
Once inside, hackers move fast. They steal data. They lock files and ask for money. They watch what you do and wait for the right time to strike. In 2024, the average cost of a data breach hit $4.88 million. For healthcare, it was even higher at $9.77 million per breach. Banks face fines that can reach tens of millions. These numbers do not include the trust you lose with customers.
What CAP Solution Actually Does
CAP Solution is not just a tool. It is a full system built on SKYWATCH OS and delivered by GLESEC. It watches all your cloud apps at once. It does three main jobs. First, it finds every app you use. Second, it checks each app for weak spots. Third, it stops attacks before they cause harm.
The system scans your network every day. It looks for new apps that staff added. It checks who has access to what. It watches for odd behavior. If someone logs in from two countries at once, CAP flags it. If a user tries to download all your files at 3 AM, CAP blocks it. If an app has a known bug, CAP tells you right away.
CAP works with GLESEC’s MSS-CLOUD, our managed cloud security service. Your team gets expert help 24 hours a day. When CAP finds a threat, our security team responds. We also offer MSS-EASM for external attack surface management. This service finds risks outside your network before hackers do. Together, these tools give you complete protection.
You see everything through Kanban operational transparency. This means you get a clear view of all security tasks. You see what is happening now. You see what was fixed. You see what needs attention. No guessing. No hiding problems. Just facts you can act on.
Real Threats CAP Solution Stops
CAP Solution blocks many types of attacks. Here are the most common ones.
Account takeovers happen when hackers steal login credentials. They use bots to try thousands of passwords. Or they buy stolen passwords from the dark web. Once inside your account, they change settings. They lock you out. They steal your data. CAP stops this by watching login patterns. If something looks wrong, it blocks the attempt. It also forces strong passwords and checks for leaked credentials.
Data leaks are another big risk. Staff might share files with the wrong people. They might send data to personal email accounts. Or an app might have weak privacy settings that expose your data. CAP watches all data movement. It stops files from leaving when they should not. It alerts you when someone tries to share sensitive info.
Malware attacks target cloud apps too. Hackers upload infected files. When staff open them, the malware spreads. It can lock your systems. It can spy on your network. It can steal passwords. CAP scans every file before it enters your cloud apps. It blocks anything that looks wrong.
Insider threats come from your own staff. Most are not trying to cause harm. They make mistakes. They click bad links. They ignore security rules. But some insiders do want to hurt you. They steal data to sell. They sabotage systems when they quit. CAP watches user behavior. It spots odd actions. It stops damage before it spreads.
Zero-day exploits are attacks that use brand new bugs. The app maker does not know about them yet. There is no patch to fix them. Hackers race to use these bugs before they get fixed. CAP uses advanced detection to spot these attacks. It blocks suspicious activity even if the threat is new.
Why Healthcare Must Use CAP
Healthcare groups face unique risks. Patient records contain everything hackers want. Names, birthdates, social security numbers, health history, insurance info. This data sells for high prices on the dark web. One patient record can sell for $1,000 or more. Compare that to a credit card number at $5.
HIPAA requires strict data protection. A breach means massive fines. In 2023, HHS issued fines totaling over $4.1 million in reported OCR settlements. But money is not the only cost. You lose patient trust. Your reputation suffers. Patients leave. New patients do not come. Recovery takes years.
Healthcare also runs 24/7. You cannot shut down to fix security problems. Patients need care right now. CAP protects you without slowing down your work. It runs in the background. It fixes problems without interrupting care. Your staff keeps working. Your patients stay safe.
Many healthcare groups use old systems. These systems were not built for the cloud. They have weak security. CAP bridges this gap. It adds modern protection to old tech. You do not need to replace everything. You just add CAP on top.
Why Banks Need CAP Right Now
Banks and credit unions are prime targets. Hackers want money. They want account numbers. They want routing info. Every successful attack puts millions at risk. The FBI reported that business email compromise alone cost companies $2.9 billion in 2023. Many of these attacks hit financial institutions.
Regulations are getting tougher. FDIC, OCC, NCUA all demand strong security. State laws add more rules. A breach triggers audits, fines, and legal action. CAP helps you meet these requirements. It gives you the controls regulators want to see. It creates audit logs that prove you took action.
Customer trust matters more in banking than anywhere else. People trust you with their money. One breach can destroy that trust. Customers move their accounts. They tell others to stay away. Your growth stops. CAP protects customer data. It keeps accounts safe. It shows customers you take security seriously.
Banks use dozens of cloud apps. Core banking systems. Loan processing. Mobile banking. Customer service platforms. Each one connects to others. A breach in one spreads to all. CAP monitors every connection. It stops threats at any entry point.
How IT Teams Use CAP Daily
Your IT team has too much to do already. They do not need another complex tool. CAP makes their job easier. Here is how they use it each day.
Morning starts with a dashboard check. The CAP dashboard shows all activity from the night before. Green means safe. Yellow means check this. Red means act now. Most days are green. When issues come up, the dashboard tells you exactly what to do.
Alerts are smart. CAP does not cry wolf. It only alerts you to real problems. When an alert comes in, it includes all the details. What happened? When it happened. Who was involved? What CAP already did to stop it. Your team reviews the alert. They decide if more action is needed. Most times, CAP already handled it.
Reports write themselves. CAP generates reports for management. It creates compliance reports for auditors. It tracks metrics for your team. You pick what you want to see. CAP delivers it on schedule. No manual work needed.
Integration is simple. CAP works with the tools you already use. It connects to your SIEM. It updates your ticketing system. It logs events where you need them. You do not change your workflow. You just add CAP to it.
What CISOs and CIOs Need to Know
You need to justify every security spend. CAP delivers clear ROI. First, it reduces breach risk. The average breach costs millions. CAP costs a fraction of that. Even if it stops just one breach, it pays for itself many times over.
Second, it saves staff time. Your team spends less time chasing false alarms. They spend less time on manual checks. They focus on real threats. This means you need fewer security staff. Or your current team can do more.
Third, it helps with compliance. Audits go faster. You have the logs and reports ready. You show clear controls. You prove you protect data. This reduces audit costs and speeds up certifications.
Fourth, it supports growth. You can add new cloud apps safely. You can expand to new locations. You can handle more customers. CAP scales with you. It does not slow you down.
Board members ask tough questions. How safe are we? What happens if we get hacked? Are we doing enough? CAP gives you concrete answers. You show them real data. You show them how threats were stopped. You show them clear metrics. This builds confidence.
Getting Started with CAP Solution
Starting with CAP is fast. Most teams are up and running in days, not months. Here is what happens.
First, you connect CAP to your cloud apps. This takes an hour or two per app. CAP uses secure APIs. It does not need special software on every device. It does not slow down your network. Once connected, it starts watching right away.
Next, CAP does a full scan. It finds every app in use. It checks every user account. It looks for existing problems. This first scan shows you where you stand. Most teams are surprised by what they find. Apps they did not know about. Old accounts that should be closed. Weak settings that need fixing.
Then you set your rules. What should CAP block? What needs approval? What just needs a log? You start with safe defaults. You adjust as you learn. CAP makes suggestions based on what it sees. You do not need to be a security expert.
Training is quick. Your IT team learns the dashboard in an hour. Most features are clear. Help is built in. Our support team is there if you need them. Your staff does not need training. CAP works behind the scenes. They keep working as normal. Many teams want to see this process firsthand through a live demonstration or test it themselves with a proof of value in their own environment before committing.
Common Questions About CAP
Does CAP slow down our apps?
No. CAP works at the API level. It does not sit between you and your apps. Your staff sees no difference in speed. Apps work exactly as before.
What if we use custom apps?
CAP works with any app that has an API. Most modern cloud apps do. If your custom app connects to the internet, CAP can protect it. We can also build custom connections if needed.
How many apps can CAP handle?
There is no limit. CAP scales automatically. Small teams with 10 apps and large companies with 500 apps both use CAP. You pay based on what you use.
What about apps we use rarely?
CAP protects all apps equally. Even apps you only use once a month get full protection. This is important because hackers often target forgotten apps. They know these apps get less attention.
Can we try before we buy?
Yes. We offer a proof of value program. You test CAP with your real apps. You see real results. No commitment needed. Most teams know within two weeks if CAP is right for them.
The Cost of Waiting
Every day without CAP is a day of risk. Hackers work around the clock. They scan for weak apps. They test stolen passwords. They wait for you to make a mistake. The question is not if you will be attacked. It is when.
Think about what a breach would cost you. Start with direct costs. Forensics teams charge $300 per hour or more. You need lawyers. You need PR help. You need new systems. These bills add up fast. Small breaches cost hundreds of thousands. Large ones cost millions.
Then add regulatory fines. HIPAA fines range from $100 to $50,000 per violation. A breach can involve thousands of records. Do the math. Banking fines work the same way. State laws add more penalties on top.
Now add the hidden costs. Staff time spent on cleanup. Lost productivity. Customers who leave. Sales you miss while fixing the problem. Reputation damage that lasts years. These costs dwarf the direct ones.
CAP costs far less than any of this. It protects you 24/7. It stops attacks before they start. It gives you peace of mind. Most importantly, it keeps you in business.
