With 80% of all IT applications being designed for a cloud delivery model, many organizations and service providers are choosing to host applications in the cloud for their customers to access data quickly and easily from mobile tablets to traditional PCs.
Due to the highly virtualized nature of server & storage in the public cloud, the question arises how to best secure that data. Given that traditional security appliances are too rigid for this elastic cloud model to work efficiently, what is the answer for building out these next generation data centers?
Crossbeam has taken a unique approach to securing the public cloud infrastructure by delivering a security platform that aligns to the same principles as the virtualized server environment. We focus on what matters:
- The ability to quickly scale security performance as public demand for cloud services spike
- The ability to add and change security services from best-in-class application developers as compliance mandates change
- The ability to automate complex tasks such as self-healing a security application or patching the operating system so that public consumers of the cloud always have connectivity
