~New integration improves network visualization and the assessment of security controls in the public and private cloud~
Skybox™ Security, a global leader in cybersecurity operations,
analytics and reporting, announced today new interoperability with Microsoft
Azure Virtual Network (VNet), enabling customers to gain security visibility
into virtualized networks created in the Azure Cloud.
The Skybox™
Security Suite easily integrates with Azure VNet, incorporating the virtual
environment in its network model to provide normalized visibility and access
simulation capabilities across public, private and hybrid IT networks. This
capability improves configuration security and enables security teams to
quickly understand Azure’s role in the integrity of an entire network.
“We’ve reached
the tipping point for cloud with more than 60 percent of organizations now
pursuing a hybrid IT approach. Cloud security, however, remains a challenge for
most,” said Skybox VP of Products Ravid Circus.
According to the
Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), one of the top threats to companies in cloud
environments is the risk of exploited system vulnerabilities.
“The only way to
effectively prioritize those vulnerabilities is by having visibility of the
organization’s entire attack surface, regardless of the environment,” Circus
explained. “And, you need context. We not only show how the virtualized network
contributes to an organization’s attack surface, we give the context needed to
understand where potentially exploitable vulnerabilities exist.”
Skybox
automatically integrates Azure VNet data into the network model, including
gateway routing, VPN connections, subnets, hosts and security groups. Through
one normalized view, security teams can analyze network access paths, both
north-south (into and out of the data center) and east-west (within it). This
improves access troubleshooting and understanding of potential attack paths.
Skybox
previously announced integrations with Amazon Web Services and VMware NSX. The
addition of support for the Microsoft Azure Virtual Network provides even more
visibility into virtualized networks strengthening the hybrid network security
management capabilities of the Skybox Security Suite.
