FireEye, Inc. of Milpitas, CA announced on January 21 the acquisition of Dallas, TX-based Cloudvisory. The acquisition, which closed on January 17, 2020, will add cloud workload security capabilities to FireEye Helix, offering customers one integrated security operations platform for cloud and container security.
“Customers need consistent visibility across their public and hybrid
cloud environments, as well as containerized workloads,” said Grady Summers, executive
vice president of products and customer success at FireEye. “Cloudvisory
delivers this visibility and allows FireEye to apply controls and best
practices based on our frontline knowledge of how attackers operate. Security
is top of mind for almost all organizations as they migrate critical workloads
to the cloud. With the addition of the Cloudvisory technology, FireEye is able
to offer a comprehensive, intelligence-led solution to secure today’s hybrid,
multi-platform environments.”
Founded in 2013, Cloudvisory provides continuous visibility, compliance,
and security policy governance solutions for multi-cloud and data center
assets. Cloudvisory offers a complete centralized security management solution
for audit, compliance, micro-segmentation and enforcement through cloud-native
controls of the various cloud platforms. The Cloudvisory solution operates
across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, OpenStack and VMware, as well as
traditional virtualized and bare metal environments.
By extending the FireEye Helix security operations platform with
Cloudvisory, customers can easily implement security and governance policies
for their cloud and container platforms based on FireEye frontline knowledge of
attackers’ tools and techniques. Cloudvisory delivers critical visibility and allows
security administrators to apply controls using an intuitive point-and-click
interface.
“Joining FireEye offers Cloudvisory a unique opportunity to combine our innovative approach to cloud visibility and FireEye’s unrivaled insights into the threat landscape,” said Lisun Kung, Cloudvisory co-founder and chief executive officer prior to the acquisition. “We’re excited by the potential to quickly scale and help more organizations secure their cloud and container workloads.”
