Pay-As-You-Consume Security for Cloud and
Virtual Workloads is Powered by CloudPassage
CSC (NYSE: CSC), a global leader in next-generation IT services
and solutions, today unveiled an enhanced, pay-as-you-go Cloud
Security Services solution that enables enterprise clients to scale
their cloud workload security functionality up or down as required
by business, technical or financial needs.

Developed by CSC’s Cybersecurity and Cloud teams along with
technology partner CloudPassage®, On-Demand Workload
Protection is designed to allow clients to protect their cloud
workloads and consume cloud-based security services using the same
attributes that have made public cloud computing services so
popular today.
Historically, clients have been forced to cobble together
solutions based on multiple technologies and using legacy licensing
models. This new security-as-a-service capability addresses the
growing client demand for flexible, consumption-based security
models that flex in concert with their business and operational
requirements.
Though some security controls can be purchased directly from
individual public cloud providers, each requires self-management
and incident reporting rarely spanning different vendors. Keeping
track of alerts or incidents for multiple cloud workloads has
required a costly dedicated security operations center or managed
security services provider. Until now.
“CSC’s On-Demand Workload Protection offers an affordable
pay-as-you-consume alternative that gives an enterprise clear
visibility into all of its traditional and next-generation
platforms and workloads,” said Ashish Mahadwar, executive vice
president and general manager, CSC Emerging Business Group.
“Eliminating the need for dedicated staff to manage and monitor
multiple security services internally also frees up resources that
can be invested elsewhere in the business.”
The new offering works by deploying ultra-lightweight
CloudPassage Halo agents on every server instance in any
combination of data centers – private cloud or public cloud – to
monitor server activity without interfering with performance. These
agents are deployed through orchestration tools manually or with
scripts – even on live systems without reboot – and can maintain
complete visibility for customers into all systems with a single
user interface via CSC’s proprietary Pulse portal.
CIOs or CISOs challenged by disparate business units standing up
their own systems and workloads in the cloud – and possibly putting
sensitive company information at risk – may find CSC’s latest cyber
offering particularly compelling. The On Demand Workload Protection
service can provide individual business units dedicated packages
customized to their unique policy or regulatory needs but still
managed securely via a single platform, enabling confident and
cost-efficient corporate oversight and security control across the
enterprise.
The new solution is available now. To learn more about how CSC
