| Privitar Announces New Native Integration With Google Cloud Platform - Business Wire Posted: 05 May 2020 05:00 AM PDT LONDON & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Privitar, the leading data privacy platform provider, today announced that the Privitar Data Privacy Platform™ now natively integrates with the Google Cloud Platform. The new integration adds to Privitar's native support of public cloud services, including AWS and Azure, and enables customers to seamlessly protect and extract the maximum value from the sensitive data they collect, manage and use. "Traditional security measures such as encryption and attribute based access control are not sufficient as we increase the exposure to sensitive data assets in the cloud. Complimentary privacy controls are essential, particularly for analytics applications that need to optimise data utility," said Jason du Preez, CEO of Privitar. "Privitar's native integration with Google Cloud Platform makes it easy for customers to leverage their data to gain valuable insights and to support data-driven decisions, without jeopardizing its safety."

| Orca Security Raises $20M Series A Funding Round | News Briefs - NoCamels - Israeli Innovation News Posted: 05 May 2020 07:28 AM PDT  Israeli cloud security startup Orca Security has raised a $20 million Series A funding round, led by global venture capital firm GGV Capital with participation from US-Israeli VC firm YL Ventures and SVCI (Silicon Valley CISO Investments,) the company announced Tuesday. The funding will fuel additional company growth to help more worldwide customers gain deeper visibility into Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform at a fraction of the time and operational cost of alternative solutions, the company said in a statement. Orca Security was founded in 2019 by former Check Point Software CTO Avia Shua and former Check Point executive Gil Geron. In June of that year, the Tel Aviv-based startup announced that it had raised $6.5 million in seed funding from YL Ventures. The company has said it has created the first and only cloud security solution that can find vulnerabilities, malware, misconfigurations, leaked and weak passwords, lateral movement risk, and high-risk data without agents or per asset integrations, within minutes. This is achieved through the company's SideScanning tool, which reads workloads' run time block storage out of band and cross references it with the cloud vendors' application program interface (APIs). "Organizations expect to have rapid cloud growth while maintaining security. This cannot be achieved by playing whack-a-mole with per-asset agent deployments," said Avi Shua, CEO and co-founder of Orca Security. "You can't continue to iterate on tools designed for on-prem environments and expect to win the coverage game in the cloud. You lose both agility and security. Orca Security has developed an entirely new way of helping organizations identify, understand and prioritize cloud security issues—without slowing their innovation or worrying about the thoroughness of their coverage." The company, which currently has 37 employees in Israel and US offices, plans to double its team and total business by the end of 2020. New hiring will be divided between the two offices.  |
| CloudKnox enhances its platform to help orgs accelerate cloud adoption - Help Net Security Posted: 05 May 2020 05:30 PM PDT CloudKnox Security, provider of the only cloud permissions management platform for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, announced key capabilities in its platform that help enterprises optimize operational efficiency for critical cloud infrastructure. CloudKnox customers who are accelerating cloud adoption and digital transformation realize up to 75% cost savings across all operational areas, including security, infrastructure, and audit and compliance. The patented CloudKnox Activity-Based Authorization Protocol enables security and infrastructure teams to easily create activity profiles for each unique identity and resource with access to an organization's growing cloud infrastructure. In combination with the CloudKnox Just Enough Privileges (JEP) Controller, customers can automate and simplify permissions right-sizing across VMware, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, resulting in significant cost and time savings. By measuring and monitoring least privilege policy enforcement with its patented Privilege Creep Index and ensuring separation of duties across the entire cloud infrastructure as a part of CloudKnox's lifecycle approach to managing permissions, the platform enables organizations to significantly expand their cloud footprint efficiently, securely and cost-effectively. "We are constantly evaluating which parts of our clients' businesses we can securely move to the cloud to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives and make their businesses more resilient during times of uncertainty," said Shaq Khan, CEO of Fortifire, a CloudKnox partner. "But with that comes questions about how to protect critical cloud resources to which we haven't always had answers, such as which identities have permissions granting access to those resources and what actions can be performed on those resources. "CloudKnox is the only vendor on the market that helps us efficiently answer those questions while dramatically reducing the operating costs associated with securing public cloud infrastructure." CloudKnox helps companies achieve significant cost savings across their multi-cloud and hybrid cloud security and infrastructure operations, including automated reporting, infrastructure security and operational anomaly detection, investigation and remediation. Additionally by automating the entire process of permissions management across an organization's cloud infrastructure, the CloudKnox platform accelerates the overall product development, audit and compliance processes while reducing costs by up to 75%. "As organizations worldwide accelerate the large-scale adoption of multi-cloud and hybrid cloud infrastructures, companies need to be able to cost efficiently manage the day to day operations and the greatest risk to hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure," said Raj Mallempati, Chief Operating Officer of CloudKnox Security. "The CloudKnox Permissions Management Platform enables enterprises to protect their critical cloud infrastructure from the risk of over-provisioned machine and human identities, while delivering exceptional ROI and TCO." CloudKnox Security offers a free Cloud Identity Risk Assessment to help enterprises understand their cloud identity and resource risk profile.  |
