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.‎
