CloudLock, the leading Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
and Cloud Cybersecurity Platform, today announced its expanded
cybersecurity orchestration ecosystem, delivering advanced malware
detection capabilities through integrations with OPSWAT and VMRay to
complement the company's existing integration with the threat emulation
capabilities of Check Point. The first-of-its-kind integration unifies
protection against malware and the growing volume of ransomware across
hybrid cloud environments.
"The threat landscape -- particularly for malware -- is
evolving as more organizations shift workloads to the cloud and adopt
online business productivity and operations applications," said John
Amaral, Head of Product Delivery at CloudLock. "By extending the power
of CloudLock's cloud-native, multi-mode CASB through integrations with
leading providers, our mutual customers gain powerful insight and threat
mitigation capabilities to secure environments from the growing barrage
of malware."
With a 30x increase in connected cloud apps over the past two years combined with the increasing volume of malware and ransomware headlines (i.e., Medstar Health)
over recent weeks tells a disturbing story about the evolving nature of
this threat vector and the resulting damage to the organization's
productivity, safety, reputation, and bottom line. CloudLock is uniquely
positioned to thwart ransomware attacks on cloud infrastructure through
an API-driven, cloud-native approach to cloud cybersecurity. By
performing extended analysis across an organization's disparate cloud
environments, the CloudLock Cybersecurity Orchestrator allows customers
to identify and remediate instances of malware that would otherwise go
unnoticed, with support for Amazon S3, Dropbox, Box, Google Apps, and
Office 365.
CloudLock further helps security analysts by enabling
proactive, automated cross-platform response actions to mitigate risk
and provide deep security intelligence. CloudLock integrates with
customers' established security operations workflows via APIs and
out-of-box integrations to drive policy-based threat mitigation and
remediation. In addition to identifying malware through integration,
CloudLock can detect anomalous activity within monitored cloud
environments indicative of malware infection, such as user logins from
suspicious locations or risky data sharing practices, for additional
threat protection beyond initial malware identification.
Malware Orchestration Ecosystem Launch Partner Quotes:
"With CloudLock's CASB and Cloud Cybersecurity Platform
and OPSWAT's Metadefender, enterprises can now enforce secure data

prevention and detection of known and unknown threats by combining
dozens of anti-malware engines with heuristics and data sanitization,"
said Benny Czarny, CEO, OPSWAT.
"Enterprises want frictionless interoperability and total
visibility across their security solutions whether on-premise or in the
cloud. The seamless integration between VMRay Analyzer and CloudLock's
CASB platform combines advanced automated threat analysis and detection
with comprehensive cloud security. This is a real step forward
facilitating for enterprises automating of malware detection and
blocking in hybrid cloud environments. We're honored and excited to be a
launch partner with CloudLock on this initiative," said Chad Loeven, VP
