HelpSystems revealed its simple way to help organisations\u00a0ensure a secure cloud environment.<\/p>\n
With the latest release of its Policy Minder security policy management solution, security professionals have the visibility and control they need to secure information in highly dynamic cloud environments.<\/p>\n
With this new version, customers fix a major cloud security blind spot because the software is constantly checking for new server instances within their AWS EC2 environment, commonly used by DevOps teams.<\/p>\n
If found Policy Minder applies the appropriate security settings and continues to monitor those instances for as long as they are running.<\/p>\n
Bob Erdman, security\u00a0product manager at HelpSystems, commented: \u201cFast and easy server deployments, commonly used by infrastructure and DevOps teams, can quickly lead to runaway security and compliance issues by leaving many cloud systems exposed.<\/p>\n
“Internal teams often spin up new servers with no regard for security, and security teams have no visibility into the ever-changing environment.”<\/p>\n
This new release adds to an already extensive set of automated security administration features for on-premises, cloud, and hybrid IT environments.<\/p>\n
Chris Heim, CEO at HelpSystems, added: \u201cOrganisations transition to the cloud to increase agility and improve business value, but many have learned the hard way that a data breach can wipe out those benefits.<\/p>\n
\u201cBreaches often result from avoidable security misconfigurations. Our customers have reported an alarming trend in employees spinning up new cloud servers without considering security.<\/p>\n
“Our goal with Policy Minder is to help them realise the many benefits of cloud services without sacrificing security and leaving valuable data exposed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Policy Minder also notifies and reports any vulnerabilities or misconfigurations, removing the complexity of cloud security and compliance.<\/p>\n
