“Customers need consistent visibility across their public and
hybrid cloud environments, as well as containerized workloads,”
said Grady Summers, Executive Vice President of Products and
Customer Success at FireEye. “Cloudvisory delivers this visibility
and allows FireEye to apply controls and best practices based on
our frontline knowledge of how attackers operate. Security is top
of mind for almost all organizations as they migrate critical
workloads to the cloud. With the addition of the Cloudvisory
technology, FireEye is able to offer a comprehensive,
intelligence-led solution to secure today’s hybrid, multi-platform
environments.”
Founded in 2013, Cloudvisory provides continuous visibility,
compliance, and security policy governance solutions for
multi-cloud and data center assets. Cloudvisory offers a complete
centralized security management solution for audit, compliance,
micro-segmentation and enforcement through cloud-native controls of
the various cloud platforms. The Cloudvisory solution operates
across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, OpenStack and VMware,
as well as traditional virtualized and bare metal environments.
By extending the FireEye Helix security operations platform with
Cloudvisory, customers can easily implement security and governance
policies for their cloud and container platforms based on FireEye
frontline knowledge of attackers’ tools and techniques. Cloudvisory
delivers critical visibility and allows security administrators to
apply controls using an intuitive point-and-click interface.
“Joining FireEye offers Cloudvisory a unique opportunity to
combine our innovative approach to cloud visibility and FireEye’s
unrivaled insights into the threat landscape,” said Lisun Kung,
Cloudvisory co-founder and chief executive officer prior to the
acquisition. “We’re excited by the potential to quickly scale and
help more organizations secure their cloud and container
workloads.”
The Cloudvisory solution is designed to provide:
- Visibility into network data traffic for workloads,
applications, and microservices
- Ability to detect and remediate misconfigurations and malicious
activities across multiple cloud providers
- Compliance assurance standard benchmarks for CIS, PCI, HIPAA,
GDPR, and compliance requirements
- Advanced compliance assurance controls
- Ability to detect, alert, block, and quarantine attacks using
cloud-native microsegmentation
Integrated with FireEye Helix, the Cloudvisory capabilities will
empower customers with a single plane of glass to manage
multi-cloud environments. The expanded offering will assess
configurations against compliance standards and best practices,
deliver ongoing monitoring of environments, and report on actions
that are out of compliance, providing visibility into which user
activities and compliance issues can increase an organization’s
risk profile.
