SecludIT To Deploy Security Tool For Amazon EC2
IT security solutions provider SecludIT has agreed to partner with Amazon in a bid to release their Elastic Detector for Amazon EC2, which offers a fully automated ‘security threat event detection tool’.
Being a SaaS-based security tool, The Elastic Detector enables administrators and users of Amazon EC2-based infrastructure to detect flaws and threats on security groups and applications continuously, thus considerably reducing the risk of external and internal threats. The solution does not entail management any overhead expenses. The risk of handling dynamic infrastructures, as opposed to the standard static ones, is higher and proportionately the cost of security administration is also high. Manual management of the continuously changing security parameters is difficult.
Elastic Detector on the other hand is built on SecludIT Elastic Security patent pending technology, which acts automatically. The Elastic detector continuously monitors and adapts security related parameters to protect the infrastructure continuously. The tool adopts a feature known as Auto-Checks, which keeps on tracking the security threats and issues timely and corresponding alerts. Other security and monitoring tools, require checks and alerts for each server. In the case of Elastic Detector provided specifically for Amazon EC2, the system is capable of auto-detecting all the servers simultaneously and automatically sets the corresponding checks and alerts.
