Catbird's vSecurity® Cloud Edition:
Comprehensive, Automated Security and Compliance for Public and Private Clouds

Cloud computing is rapidly becoming standard procedure in mainstream data centers. The benefits of the cloud are undeniable:
  • Cost Savings - Organizations save on large upfront expenses, follow a utility model where they pay only what is consumed and take advantage of shared infrastructure
  • Scalability - Changes in capacity needs are easily accommodated
  • Ease of Implementation - Organizations kick off a deployment more quickly by avoiding capital costs and integration/implementation services
  • High Automation - In-house IT personnel do not need to keep software patched and up to date, freeing them to concentrate on organizational innovation
  • Skilled Practitioners - Public clouds are managed by veteran staff and seasoned companies; private clouds are managed by experienced IT personnel
  • Quality of Service - Cloud data centers have multiple high-availability options usually out of reach to typical companies.

With such benefits, what is holding CIOs back? Organizations contemplating the move to cloud-based infrastructure often cite security and compliance as the main objections to green-lighting the transition. Who will be monitoring the assets if offsite? Who will be guarding the network over which the transactions occur? Does a cloud model break compliance? Can a cloud-based infrastructure be successfully audited?

Cloud Computing: You CAN Stay Secure

Catbird vSecurity Cloud Edition is the first solution designed to specifically eliminate these concerns by providing comprehensive, automated and documented security and compliance for cloud providers and IT managers in charge of private clouds.

vSecurity Cloud Edition gives cloud providers the competitive edge with the industry's only automated monitoring and enforcement solution that covers all seven critical control areas: auditing, inventory management, configuration management, change management, access control, vulnerability management and incident response.

Regulatory Compliance

Cloud computing providers can instantly deliver FISMA, COBIT, DIACAP, SOX, PCI, HIPAA, and other regulatory-based security and compliance policy monitoring and enforcement, essential protection for customers subject to audit.

vSecurity Cloud Edition Features

Integrating Catbird's comprehensive suite of services, including vulnerability monitoring, IPS/IDS, firewalling via TrustZones, Network Access Control (NAC), policy enforcement and many other critical features managed via a multi-tenant portal, Catbird vSecurity Cloud Edition is essential in helping customers commit to cloud-based deployments.
