MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
July 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Lacework®, the industry's first solution to bring
automation, speed and scale to cloud security, today announced that
Brightcove Inc. (NASDAQ: BCOV) has selected Lacework to provide
continuous security for its cloud-based online video platform
hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). With Lacework, Brightcove
automates security monitoring and host-level intrusion detection at
scale across its thousands of servers in AWS. Brightcove joins
other fast-growing companies including Veeva Systems, Snowflake
Computing, Guidebook, and Vera in leveraging Lacework for the
security and compliance of their cloud on AWS.
"The size and diverse nature of Brightcove's AWS fleet required
us to find a solution that we could easily incorporate into our
DEVOPS culture and scale to our variable AWS usage," Eric Kelson, Senior Security Engineer at
Brightcove, said. "Lacework gave us the ability to monitor our
thousands of AWS hosts, quickly detect and assess threats across
hosts and AWS services, and identify AWS configuration compliance
gaps, all without customized security rules."
The speed, scale, and transient nature of public cloud
environments requires a completely new approach to security. The
Lacework Cloud Security Platform captures and analyzes the millions
of pieces of behavioral data emanating continuously from any large
AWS environment. Applying machine learning to this mass of data,
Lacework generates actionable insights on abnormal behavior and
alerts on any indications of compromise.
Kelson adds, "With Lacework, we were able to efficiently obtain
a comprehensive view of our AWS cloud footprint, including
containers. We are quickly able to identify and respond to
security events without substantial impact to time and
resources."
"Brightcove is leading the way for cloud-based online video
platforms and we are thrilled to be helping them attain enhanced,
continuous security hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS)," said
Dan Hubbard, Chief Security
Architect at Lacework. "With thousands of Brightcove's servers in
AWS, Lacework Cloud Security Platform is helping automate security
monitoring and host-level intrusion detection at scale."
Lacework was recently named a "Cool Vendor" in the May 2018 report, Cool Vendors in Cloud Computing
2018,1 by Gartner, Inc. Lacework delivers end-to-end
automated protection to AWS deployments: from AWS accounts and
users to AWS S3 buckets and workloads. Its host-based intrusion
detection system (IDS) tracks activities and detects anomalies down
to the most granular level, including processes and files. The end
result is fine-grained visibility with one of the richest cloud
security dataset presented in a meaningful, easy to navigate
UI. For more information on Lacework, please visit
