Virtually Secure – HyTrust Launches Virtual Security Appliance

HyTrust today came out of quazi-stealth mode and released it’s security virtual appliance. It now comes in 6 new flavors of bacon-like goodness. Ok, so not bacon, but just as awesome!

From the press release:

The new HyTrust Appliance features the following key benefits:

• Consistent Control – access and configuration controls are enforced consistently across the entire virtual infrastructure regardless of the management method.
• Visibility and Compliance – user activity and hypervisor security posture is consistently logged at a central point, and detailed audit-quality logs are created for forensics and reporting.
• Efficiency and Integration – automation of manual procedures achieves best practices, as well as integration with existing management tools; server engineers can be more efficient with their time, and deliver a strong ROI.
• Flexibility – growth and expansion is supported and enabled, as is adaptability of virtual infrastructure to meet business demands.

“HyTrust offers a great approach and solution to help organizations address control and compliance issues in a consistent way through automation and policy enforcement, enabling optimal visibility and management over the virtual infrastructure,” said David Bartoletti, senior analyst and consultant, Taneja Group.
