Rackspace announced that it has selected Armor, provider of cloud security-as-a-service solutions, to deliver security for hybrid cloud environments to customers worldwide. Armor’s next-generation cloud security platform, Armor Anywhere, will be integrated into Rackspace’s comprehensive portfolio of security services for all major private and hyperscale public clouds, creating complete hybrid cloud security solution on the market.
The Armor Anywhere service uses an agent installed across on-premise, cloud, or hybrid environments. The Armor Anywhere agent uses ideal security capabilities to secure the environment.
Once installed, the Armor Anywhere agent defends the environment at the host level, monitoring inbound and outbound traffic, gathering logs, monitoring changes to critical les, and providing customers with patch status and updates. The Armor Anywhere agent is lightweight and can be deployed in under 2 minutes.
Security results from the Armor Anywhere agent provide valuable data to Armor’s SOC, where experts manage and secure systems and workloads—monitoring both inbound and outbound traffic at the host—and identify malicious threats in real-time to enable quick response and containment before larger issues occur.
Armor Anywhere is made up of multiple detection tools which are deployed into a customer’s IT environment via a lightweight software component. The platform collects, correlates and analyzes millions of events and logs from various network and cloud native tools to produce enriched, correlated event data, which is ready for triage and action from Rackspace’s security experts.
Rackspace offers a comprehensive portfolio of security and compliance services for all major private and hyperscale public clouds – including 24x7x365 proactive threat detection and response services from Rackspace’s global Security Operations Center (SOC), with locations in San Antonio and London.
Rackspace integrates with all of the hyperscale cloud control planes to offer customers hybrid cloud security capabilities, including, but not limited to, host and network protection, threat intelligence and security analytics, log management, vulnerability scanning, and compliance assistance services.
“To handle threats effectively, enterprises need a platform that consolidates threat intelligence, security analytics, alerts and response,” said Vikas Gurugunti, EVP and GM, Rackspace Solutions and Services. “Rackspace’s security services, coupled with the powerful detection and analysis capabilities of Armor Anywhere, will give our customers a high-quality security solution focused on hybrid cloud security outcomes. This new collaboration ensures that we accelerate the value of the cloud and deliver Fanatical Experience during every phase of our customers’ digital transformation.”
“Armor is honored to be working with Rackspace,” said Armor CEO Mark Woodward. “Rackspace goes beyond simply helping organizations manage their IT infrastructure and migration to the cloud. They are a proven leader in helping customers securely transform their entire organization across every phase of their digital journey. Armor’s market-leading cloud security solutions have successfully helped to protect organizations’ sensitive data for 10 years. By working together, I am confident that Rackspace will have the most comprehensive, secure and business-enabling managed cloud security services in the market.”
The integration of Armor’s technology and capabilities into Rackspace’s security service offerings will be made available to customers in 2020.
