Today at VMWorld 2010 in San Francisco, EMC unveiled the RSA Solution for Cloud Security and Compliance for comprehensively managing security, risk and regulatory compliance of cloud infrastructures, helping increase customer confidence to virtualize business-critical applications.
“Security is a top concern organizations have about moving critical business applications to the cloud,” said Jon Oltsik, Principal Analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group. “Even with all the benefits cloud computing provides, CIOs will continue to be wary until there is a way to manage security and compliance with the same level of assurance that is available today with physical data center environments. With today’s announcement, EMC has made an important first step in addressing this fundamental concern with security in today’s growing virtualized and cloud infrastructures.”
Featuring an easy to use dashboard based on the RSA® Archer™ eGRC platform, the solution is designed to give organizations a complete assessment of security and compliance posture across their VMware virtual infrastructure. This allows customers to centrally manage security across both virtual and physical infrastructures using RSA Archer.
The dashboard integrates with a library of more than 100 VMware-specific controls such as administrative authentication, that map to the most current global regulations such as PCI-DSS and HIPAA to ensure best practices for deployment. The solution also integrates with the RSA® enVision security information and event management platform to provide a more comprehensive assessment of security events from across the enterprise.
