Bitdefender Delivers Security-as-a-Service on AWS Marketplace
BUCHAREST, ROMANIA, Sep 05, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Bitdefender, an award-winning provider of innovative security
solutions, today announced that Security for Virtualized Environments
(SVE) is now available as Security-as-a-Service on Amazon's AWS
Marketplace. For customers seeking a flexible licensing model, the
new service allows organizations to choose security licensing based
on administrative and financial requirements -- on-demand per hour
utility based monthly subscription.
"With other security solutions, many organizations must deal with
rigid licensing models that seldom allow horizontal scalability and
policy changes based on the needs of the business," said Robert
Krauss, Director Enterprise Sales and Alliances, North America,
Bitdefender. "Security for Virtualized Environments offered as
Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) on AWS Marketplace was developed to
extend the benefits of the cloud -- giving organizations security how
they want it and when they need it. With our licensing model,
organizations have uncomplicated and adaptable security solutions, in
terms of administration and scalability, and like a utility,
businesses pay for it as they need it."
"Security is not a one-size-fits-all proposition, and security
solutions in the cloud need to align with advantages the cloud brings
-- solutions based on the specific requirements of the organization,"
said Gavin Hill, Director of Cloud and Virtualization, Bitdefender.
"SVE as Security-as-a-Service on AWS Marketplace demonstrates that
Bitdefender addresses this need and now offers enterprise class
security that supports the platform and modality an organization
chooses to operate within the cloud."
Security for Virtualized Environments, delivered as a service,
provides integrated, intuitive management and automated deployment
for organizations seeking enterprise level security with horizontal
scalability. Based on gravity architecture, SVE's
Security-as-a-Service means customers have centralized management and
comprehensive visibility, making day-to-day administration of
security solutions easier. SVE also provides simple deployment of the
silent agent -- either with AWS tags or in the AMI -- saving
significant time, management and administration costs.
Utilizing SVE's Security-as-a-Service provides better virtual machine
instance performance compared to traditional antimalware in the
cloud. Considerable performance gains are achieved by offloading much
of the antimalware functionality from each virtual machine instance
to the SVE Security-as-a-Service. This is accomplished through
patent-pending optimization technologies from Bitdefender that
streamline the antimalware processes and reduce resource utilization
on each virtual machine instance.
Following the launch, on September 6th, Bitdefender will hold Part 1
of a 3-part Webinar series entitled, "Getting the most out of the
Cloud". Accompanying this webinar will be a downloadable white paper,
also entitled, "Getting the most out of the cloud". Both can be found
at http://enterprise.bitdefender.com
