Tripwire, Inc.,
a leading global provider of security and compliance solutions for
enterprises and industrial organizations, today announced the release of
Cloud Management Assessor, an extension of its flagship Tripwire Enterprise
solution. By allowing users to scan and assess their Amazon Web
Services (AWS) environments, Tripwire's Cloud Management Assessor helps
strengthen cybersecurity and maintain compliance.
As
organizations continue to take advantage of cloud technologies in
search of increased availability, reliability and cost-effectiveness,
they must also take into consideration the new security challenges the
cloud brings. Tripwire's Cloud Management Assessor helps Tripwire
Enterprise customers determine the security state of their AWS
deployment by gathering, analyzing and scoring configuration data based
on the Center for Internet Security AWS Foundations Benchmark.
"While
cloud adoption provides many important business benefits, it presents
its own set of security challenges that organizations need to be aware
of and also know how to handle," said David Meltzer, chief technology
officer at Tripwire. "When moving an on-premise infrastructure to the
cloud, there are parts of the environment that you no longer have
visibility into. Tripwire's Cloud Management Assessor helps
organizations overcome these issues by increasing their visibility into
AWS environments, which ultimately helps improve security."
Tripwire's
Cloud Management Assessor ensures that AWS Management Console are
securely configured to prevent attacks and downtime while also
monitoring for configuration changes that may affect the
confidentiality, integrity or availability of a user's cloud assets. In
addition, Cloud Management Assessor delivers visibility across multiple
AWS Management Consoles.
Meltzer
continued: "Many organizations now operate a ‘hybrid enterprise,' which
involves a blend of physical, virtual, and private and public cloud
environments. While this provides operational flexibility, it also
brings additional complexity to the security landscape. Tripwire
Enterprise with Cloud Management Assessor provides extended visibility
and security configuration management to cloud management interfaces.
The solution also manages this information in the same system being used
to maintain security for on-premise environments, providing a
consolidated and comprehensive approach for maintaining cybersecurity
best practices and compliance for organizations adopting Amazon Web
Services."
Cloud
Management Assessor builds upon Tripwire's foundational solutions,
which provide critical security controls for hybrid environments.
Tripwire's foundational security controls enable effective and efficient
security, compliance and IT operations across physical, virtual, and
private and public cloud environments. These advanced controls provide
the same robust, industry-leading Tripwire capabilities as used
on-premise for file integrity monitoring, configuration management,
asset discovery, vulnerability management and log collection. Tripwire
addresses the unique needs of hybrid cloud environments with unified
management and support for elastic monitoring, cloud platforms and
policies, and container assessment.
Tripwire Cloud Management Assessor is available now.
