Dome9 brings context-aware security to public cloud environments
Cybersecurity firm Dome9 Security Ltd. is adding a new module to its Arc cloud security platform for public clouds.
The Mountain View, California-based company said Dome9 Magellan brings “game-changing” capabilities to its platform, including enhanced threat intelligence, deep event correlation and policy-driven intrusion detection and forensics for cloud environments. Dome9’s Arc platform is a software-as-a-service offering that provides security, compliance and governance for public clouds including Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.
Dome9 Magellan works by synthesizing data from a range of sources to create contextual awareness in cloud environments. Dome9 Magellan helps customers to detect threats and intrusions, investigate breaches and ensure compliance and policy requirements are being met. It also provides a unified framework for customers to define and enforce their cloud security policies.
The system grabs its data from sources such as AWS’s CloudTrail events and virtual private cloud flow logs, as well as public sources. It can also leverage the output of Amazon’s security service Macie to augment its data sources.
The company said one of the main benefits of Magellan is it delivers “context-aware” security intelligence for a range of specific AWS services, including AWS Lambda, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, Container Service, AWS Elastic Load Balancing, Amazon Relational Database Service and NAT Gateways.
“Dome9 Arc has offered comprehensive visualization and protection for cloud environments based on security configuration information,” said Zohar Alon, Dome9’s co-founder and chief executive officer. “With the introduction of Dome9 Magellan, Dome9 Arc is now enhancing this configuration-based model with dynamic data from several sources to bring unprecedented threat intelligence and intrusion detection in the cloud that makes traditional network and host-based IDS tools obsolete.”
Dome9 said Magellan will be showcased at Amazon’s AWS re:Invent 2017 conference, which kicks off on Nov. 27.
