[September 13, 2011] ISRAEL : GoGrid and Dome9 Security Partner for Cloud Security Management [TendersInfo (India)] Tweet (TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) GoGrid, a leading cloud infrastructure company, and Dome9 Security , the leading provider of cloud security management service for public and private clouds, as well as for dedicated and virtual private servers (VPS), today jointly announced the availability of Dome9's cloud server security management service in the GoGrid cloud. Today's cloud security is ill-equipped to efficiently scale and provide coverage for elastic cloud servers. Traditional, on-premise security fails to cover the cloud, forcing administrators to keep access open on their cloud servers so they can connect to and manage their machines. Other software and hardware-based firewall and security management solutions are limited in their security and platform support, are manual, and cost thousands of dollars a month. The result is that most of today's cloud servers are left vulnerable to attack because their security has been too costly and cumbersome to implement and manage. Dome9 enables organizations to centralize cloud server security management with automated controls to ensure the infrastructure is not left vulnerable, and at a fraction of the cost of competing approaches. Its on-demand, one-click controls enable fast, secure access to servers hosted in GoGrid, and its automation ensures security management is scalable and as elastic as the GoGrid cloud. Dome9 also today at TechCrunch Disrupt 2011 in San Francisco unveiled its new first-of-its-kind, multi-platform security management service that automates cloud server security. This new partnership makes it fast and easy for GoGrid customers to deploy Dome9's cloud security management as part of their GoGrid environment, for automated security management of GoGrid's cloud infrastructure. Dome9's Secure Access Lease technology dynamically generated, time-based secure access to cloud servers automates security policy to make servers virtually invisible to hackers. With Secure Access Leasing, all administrative access on a cloud server is closed by default, and opened only when, for whom, and for as long as it is needed. "Aberdeen's recent research in security and cloud computing shows that augmenting the native security controls offered by cloud service providers delivers both better security and lower total cost," said Derek Brink, vice president and research fellow for IT Security, Aberdeen Group. "Dome9's solution which offers an innovative approach for consolidating security management across local and cloud environments aligns well with these findings." (c) 2011 Euclid Infotech Pvt. Ltd.
