Cloud Security Expo - SecureWorks Corp. (NASDAQ: SCWX), a
leading provider of intelligence-driven information security
solutions, is bolstering its Cloud Guardian portfolio with a new
service that automates the application of strong cloud security
policies for organizations embracing digital transformation.
With the Security Configuration Management solution, clients can
add another layer of cyber protection for their workloads on Amazon
Web Services (AWS) by programmatically implementing and enforcing
best practices for security. The service leverages not only the
Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmarks for AWS as a best
practices library, but also a series of policies based on
SecureWorks’ AWS usage and incident response experience. Users can
repair their cloud configurations with a single click, simplifying
security and enabling organizations to focus on rapidly developing
new applications and tools for their customers.
The addition of Security Configuration Management to the Cloud
Guardian portfolio continues SecureWorks’ efforts to address the
challenges many enterprises and small businesses face as they
continue their march towards hybrid IT. With the Cloud Guardian
solutions, organizations can receive:
- NEW Security Configuration Management
- Monitoring Amazon EC2 Instances
- Web Application Firewall Monitoring
- Firewall Monitoring
- Vulnerability Management
- Incident Response Services
- Cloud Security and Risk Consulting
- Technical Testing Services
“More and more organizations are moving mission critical
workloads to the public cloud with IT and security environments
becoming ever more complex,” said Christina Richmond, program
director of worldwide security services at industry research firm
IDC. “Automated security configuration management in the cloud
removes the human element and helps eliminate configuration drift
to strengthen security without disrupting IT or end user
productivity and flexibility.”
The Security Configuration Management service, which is expected
to be generally available in April 2017, augments SecureWorks’
emphasis on adding new capabilities to simplify security for
organizations leveraging the cloud. SecureWorks’ 24x7 monitoring
capabilities provide organizations’ visibility across their cloud
environments, and eliminates the need to wade through vast amounts
of network events to separate false alarms from actual threats.
Rounding out the Cloud Guardian portfolio are SecureWorks’
consulting and incident response services, which bring SecureWorks’
expertise to bare to help organizations implement a secure
environment and respond to any security events that occur.
The Cloud Guardian solutions are enhanced by the Counter Threat
Platform TM (CTP), SecureWorks’ powerful security event analysis
engine, which processes as many as 220 billion events a day and
uses machine-learning and analytics to serve as an early warning
systems for cyber threats. Through the CTP, SecureWorks delivers
intelligence, context, and countermeasures to better protect cloud
environments.
“Security and compliance should not be hurdles to hybrid IT, but
enablers,” said Matt Eberhart, vice president of global product
management at SecureWorks. “But that requires a mix of strategic
planning, secure configuration, and continuous monitoring. What
organizations need is a trusted partner who can offer them
comprehensive, seamless security solutions, which allow them to
focus more of their energies on their core business while embracing
digital transformation and cloud computing.”
