Capsule8 Announces General Availability of Capsule8 1.0Brooklyn, NY, April 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capsule8 today announced the general availability of Capsule8 1.0, the industry’s only real-time, zero-day attack detection platform capable of scaling to massive production deployments. Following a successful beta with some of the biggest companies from Wall Street and Silicon Valley, Capsule8 is delivering continuous security across the entire production environment, both containerized and legacy, to detect and shut down attacks as they happen. Lyft, the fastest growing rideshare company in the U.S., is among the first to use the Capsule8 platform for attack detection. As organizations modernize their production environments with technologies like cloud, microservices and containers, they face a changing attack surface that conventional security solutions can’t address. And with vulnerabilities such as Meltdown and Spectre, legacy Linux infrastructures are also up against inadequate protection caused by low visibility and poor detection. Capsule8 was built to protect today’s modern production environment and solve the most critical security challenges associated with containerized, virtualized and bare metal infrastructures in a single, scalable solution. "Attack detection is an important focus in microservice environments like Lyft's, where expected host behavior can vary across server fleets. Capsule8's architecture and detection capabilities are impressive and align perfectly with the need for a low-overhead real-time alerting solution which evolves as attackers do,” said James Addison, senior security engineer at Lyft. “We're glad to see Capsule8 pushing the boundaries of attack detection." Capsule8 detects and can instantly disrupt attacks in the production environment before the attack takes hold. Key features of Capsul8 1.0 include:
“Production environments most often hold an organization’s most valuable assets, yet they are the most vulnerable to the industry’s worst attacks. The security industry has been unable to effectively detect attacks at the scale required for production environments -- until now,” said John Viega, co-founder and CEO, Capsule8. “Capsule8 1.0 was built to protect today’s modern production environments and solve the challenge of detecting -- and even shutting down -- zero-day attacks within both containerized and legacy Linux infrastructures. We are blown away by the customer traction we are already seeing and truly humbled by the caliber of companies, like Lyft, turning to us to solve this critical problem.” For more information, or to schedule a private demonstration of Capsule8 1.0 at the RSA Conference, please contact [email protected].
