RedSeal
introduced its Stratus Early Adopter Program, which provides select
customers and prospects the opportunity to evaluate the company's new
SaaS-based Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solution. The new Stratus
SaaS offering is focused on providing visibility to cloud and Kubernetes
inventory and determining exposed resources in cloud and hybrid cloud
environments.
Implementing
security controls for cloud environments now extends beyond the responsibility
of traditional network security teams, and today includes application
developers and DevOps teams. These controls must also consider workload
containerization such as Kubernetes, and native offerings from Cloud Security
Providers such as Amazon Web Services. As a result, there is exponential growth
and pervasiveness of misconfigurations, which put high value resources at risk
of unintended exposure to the Internet.
Current
members of the Stratus Early Adopter Program represent enterprises ranging from
banking and financial services firms, to federal government agencies and
high-tech companies. These users have reported benefiting from Stratus' ability
to easily see both exposure and conductivity in and across all accounts in a
single view.
Security
challenges in the cloud have become so prevalent that Gartner has defined CSPM
as a new category of security products designed to identify misconfiguration
issues and risks in the cloud. As a CSPM, RedSeal Stratus helps security teams
better manage this increased risk by:
- Immediately identifying which
resources are unintentionally exposed to the Internet due to
misconfigurations
- Visualizing their complete AWS
cloud architecture to truly understand connectivity between and within
cloud resources
- Understanding their Amazon
Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) inventory and identifying overly
permissive user and service accounts
"Everyone
knows that visibility is critical for CSPM to meet its full potential, but very
few vendors are delivering on this promise," said Bryan Barney, RedSeal CEO.
"What makes visibility so powerful is the true calculation of access and
exposure, and not simply the reliance on CSP settings. With RedSeal Stratus, we
are now providing the most accurate, reliable and actionable approach to
calculating access and exposure in the cloud."
RedSeal
Stratus is currently focused on AWS cloud environments. Recognizing the demand
for better security posture management across Microsoft Azure and Kubernetes
environments, Stratus will evolve to support these platforms early next year,
making Stratus a complete, robust CSPM solution. Participants of the Stratus
Early Adopter Program are eligible for a free 6-month subscription to RedSeal
Stratus, with up to 3,000 EC2 instances.
