Today we announce the general availability of Halo Cloud Secure, which offers comprehensive and continuous visibility across your public cloud infrastructure environments.

According to The 2018 Cloud Security Report, 43% of cloud security professionals cite a lack of visibility into infrastructure security as their biggest operational challenge. Our platform already protected cloud workloads and containers, but in order to answer needs for a streamlined cloud services solution, we enhanced the platform’s capabilities even further and it is now known simply as Halo Cloud Secure, providing a single-pane-of-glass view of security and compliance across all of your cloud service provider accounts.

Halo Cloud Secure reduces the attackable surface area of your IaaS deployments by identifying your most critical issues so you can remediate them. Now you can quickly discover and inventory services and resources in use across any number of IaaS accounts in use in your organization for improved security visibility.

Key differentiators of Halo Cloud Secure include:

• Finds critical risks that other tools miss: Provides the broadest and deepest coverage for AWS with over 20,000 policy checks and coverage that goes deep by monitoring both the control plane and data plane.
• Unified view of security & compliance: See all your IaaS assets in a unified view so you can quickly answer important questions about your asset inventory. No piecing together data from multiple disparate tools—the information you need is right at your fingertips.
• Adapts to your environment: Focus on what matters and avoid wasting cycles by tuning out unnecessary alerts. Halo Cloud Secure adapts to your unique environment and requirements with powerful policy customization options.
• Decreases exposure time: Enable fast and effective remediation by providing actionable information to the people who need it in an automated fashion. Streamline remediation workflows by sending vulnerability and remediation information via Amazon SNS and other notification mechanisms.
