Reflex Security Launches Reflex Virtual Security Center
New Solution Raises Virtual Data Center Visibility and Control
Jul. 28, 2008 08:00 AM
Reflex Security announced the availability of Reflex Virtual
Security Center (VSC), pioneering a new level of security through heightened
visibility and control for virtualized environments. Reflex VSC provides a
single authoritative visual interface to secure the virtual data center.
Coupled with the award-winning Reflex Virtual Security Appliance (VSA), the VSC
brings essential functionality to round out the Reflex virtual security
management solution.
Reflex VSC provides the ability to see the complete virtual
infrastructure topology. The solution takes the approach that without the
ability to visualize both the logical and physical elements of the virtual
infrastructure, effective and efficient security cannot be achieved.
Reflex VSC increases the visibility of an organization's
virtual infrastructure so it can be properly secured, enabling organizations to
align virtualization security solutions with real business objectives. Reflex
VSC invokes best practice methodology by first discovering the entire virtual
environment to determine the security controls needed to fully secure the
infrastructure with Reflex VSA. This approach dramatically simplifies and
automates the security of VMs, while reducing the potential for improper
configurations.
"Visibility and security go hand-in-hand, and today's
regulatory and threat environment make that link increasingly crucial,"
said Hezi Moore, CTO of Reflex Security. "The combination of the new
Reflex VSC and Reflex VSA provides unprecedented visibility and control over
the virtual network, enabling faster, more efficient response, and easier
compliance with the numerous regulatory standards that are increasingly
demanding insight into virtual environments."
Improving Security through Visibility and Control
Recognizing customer need for cross-functional centralized
security controls for their virtual infrastructure, Reflex VSC harnesses the
power of virtualization to simplify and automate routine activities such as
security deployment, policy configuration, and event correlation and reporting.
With Reflex VSC, operations and security teams have a single authoritative
visual interface to administer, secure, and monitor the dynamic virtual
infrastructure. This results in better network and event visibility for a
faster and more effective security response. Through extensive real-time and
historical visual reporting, Reflex VSC gives administrators the tools they
need to efficiently meet stringent compliance requirements.
Organizations with VMware ESX environments will especially
benefit through Reflex VSC's extensive integration with VMware's VirtualCenter.
Reflex VSC discovers virtual assets and maps them so users can attain a visual
view of the virtual infrastructure. Reflex VSC is the industry's first product
to allow users to drill down into virtualized infrastructure, providing an
unparalleled level of visibility, security and revision control.
Reflex Virtual Security Appliance (VSA) Enhancements
Through the combination of visibility and revision control
provided by Reflex VSC, Reflex VSA has been enhanced, giving administrators the
insight required to understand, monitor and secure dynamic virtual
environments. The combined functionality provides a broader view of virtual
infrastructure which can stop threats earlier on in the environment. Together,
Reflex VSA and VSC provide the ability to view alerts and events in context to
the virtual infrastructure.
