CloudPassage announced the general availability of Halo Cloud Secure, which offers comprehensive and continuous protection of public cloud infrastructure, delivering security and DevOps teams a “single pane of glass” view of security and compliance across all of their cloud service provider (CSP) accounts.

The Halo platform already protected cloud workloads and containers. To answer customer demands for a streamlined solution, CloudPassage enhanced capabilities of the Halo platform, now known as Halo Cloud Secure. The product now provides both “inside-out” security visibility of servers and containers in the data plane as well as “outside-in” visibility of IaaS services and resources.

Key differentiators of Halo Cloud Secure include:

- Finds Critical Risks Other Tools Miss. Delivers broadest and deepest coverage for AWS with a comprehensive library of policy checks and coverage that monitors server and container workloads in addition to IaaS services and resources.

- Unified View of Security & Compliance. Gain full scope visibility of all IaaS assets delivered in a unified view to quickly answer important questions about asset inventory.

- Adapts To Enterprises’ Unique Environment. Unique environment and requirements are adapted to with powerful policy customization options.

- Decreases Exposure Time. Enable fast and effective remediation by providing actionable information in an automated fashion. Streamline remediation workflows by sending vulnerability and remediation information via Amazon SNS and other notification mechanisms.

The IaaS capabilities of Halo Cloud Secure have been in beta just a few months and already protect over one million AWS assets. Multiple enterprises, such as a multinational video game and entertainment company, a F500 multinational technology company and a global leader in transaction technology, are now using Halo Cloud Secure for deep and broad visibility across many public IaaS deployments including IaaS services, workloads and containers.
