Valtix, the first multi-cloud network security platform delivered as a service, today announced the latest release of its award-winning platform. Valtix 2.9 addresses speed and simplicity by enabling identification of security gaps and deployment of network-based cloud security controls across all major cloud platforms – AWS, Azure, GCP and Oracle Cloud. The release marks yet another company milestone alongside 10x platform usage growth in 2021.
According to Gartner, 40% of all enterprise workloads will be deployed in cloud infrastructure and platform services by 2023, up from 20% in 2020. However, cloud security is currently dependent on technologies that were meant for on-premises, taking significant resources and weeks if not months to operationalize. Multi-cloud makes this more challenging, requiring different approaches and security stacks in each cloud.
As enterprises move more workloads to the public cloud, cloud environments have grown in complexity and often suffer from security incidents. Valtix aims to make the complex world of multi-cloud environments digestible for its customers. For the first time ever, customers can deploy and secure workloads across their public cloud infrastructure in 5 minutes and enable new apps to be secured in seconds.
“Valtix has taken a significant leadership position when it comes to multi-cloud network security. Alternatives in the market are either cloud provider-specific or rely on legacy box-based technology that has been forklifted to the cloud – and therefore doesn’t fit well with the dynamic cloud operational model,” said Vishal Jain, co-founder and CTO at Valtix.
“All organizations with cloud security requirements, especially those with multi-cloud needs, will need a Cloud Network Security Platform like Valtix or risk building a fragmented security model that ends up wasting resources, time, and ultimately risking the business.”
Highlights of the Valtix 2.9 includes
- Increased Simplicity: Onboard cloud accounts and enable discovery in 5 minutes.
- Platform as a Service (PaaS) Security: Gain visibility & control of the 10s & 100s of Cloud Services from AWS, Azure & GCP.
- Dynamic, Multi-Cloud Security Policies: Build true multi-cloud and multi-account security that adapts to your application infrastructure.
- Simplified Deployment in AWS: Streamlined setup to secure 10s or 100s of hub-n-spoke VPCs in AWS with the Valtix portal or via Terraform.
“We’re excited about our partnership with Valtix for multi-cloud network security,” said Anderson Linares, Director IT, CIO, Quipux S.A.S. “Having advanced cloud-native security that could be automated via Infrastructure as Code (IaC) was a critical requirement. Valtix provides both visibility and tightly integrated control that adapts as our cloud environment changes.”
“At Presidio we work with customers worldwide during every stage of solution development and cloud transformation,” said Jon Jensen, VP Cybersecurity, Presidio. “Increasingly, customers who are leveraging our broad cloud services are struggling with securing mission critical applications due to lack of resources and simple to deploy and manage solutions. We’re excited to partner with Valtix in providing an innovative solution that improves cloud security posture and accelerates business transformation.”
