Übernahme für DevSecOps-Ansatz
McAfee kauft Cloud-Sicherheitsplattform NanoSec
Governance, Compliance und Sicherheit in hybriden Multi-Cloud-Umgebungen optimiert
McAfee hat die Übernahme der Cloud-basierten Sicherheitsplattform NanoSec bekanntgegeben. Durch die Übernahme von NanoSec stärkt McAfee ihr Cloud-Sicherheitsproduktportfolio "Mvision". So werden NanoSecs-Ressourcen in Form von Containern und Kubernetes in "Mvision Cloud" und "Mvision Server Protection" integriert. Damit wird die Governance, Compliance und Sicherheit in hybriden Multi-Cloud-Umgebungen optimiert. McAfee verfolgt durch die Übernahme von NanoSec den DevSecOps-Ansatz, wonach Sicherheit im Entwicklungsprozess von Anwendungen integriert wird, um potentielle Schwachstellen bereits vor dem Einsatz der Anwendung identifizieren und beheben zu können.
So kommentiert Rajiv Gupta, General Manager der Cloud Security Business Unit bei McAfee: "Die Technologie von NanoSec ist eine Erweiterung der McAfee Mvision Cloud, die unsere CASB- und CWPP-Produkte verbessert und DevSecOps-Prozesse zur Optimierung von Governance und Sicherheit umsetzt."
McAfee to Acquire NanoSec to Enhance its Market-Leading Capabilities in Cloud Security
NanoSec’s multi-cloud, zero-trust application visibility and security platform further extend McAfee’s cloud access security broker (CASB) and cloud workload protection platform (CWPP) capabilities
McAfee, the device-to-cloud cybersecurity company, announced the acquisition of NanoSec, a multi-cloud, zero-trust application and security platform. The acquisition will enable organizations to improve governance and compliance and to reduce risk of their cloud and container deployments.
Organizations are increasingly looking to adopt container technologies to help modernize legacy applications and create new cloud-native applications that are scalable and agile. Gartner predicts that "by 2022, more than 75 percent of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production, which is a significant increase from fewer than 30 percent today1.” Gartner recommends the following security and governance best practice, "security can’t be an afterthought. It needs to be embedded in the DevOps process, which Gartner refers to as ‘DevSecOps’. Organizations need to plan for securing the containerized environment across the entire life cycle, which includes the build and development process, deployment and run phase of an application."
The acquisition of NanoSec will strengthen the container security capabilities of McAfee MVISION Cloud and MVISION Server Protection products, giving its customers the ability to speed up application delivery while enhancing governance, compliance and security of their hybrid, multi-cloud deployments. NanoSec’s security capabilities will be applied to applications and workloads deployed in containers and Kubernetes and will be integrated into McAfee MVISION Cloud and MVISION Server Protection offerings. These capabilities include continuous configuration compliance and vulnerability assessment as well as runtime application-level segmentation for detecting and preventing lateral movement of threats.
"McAfee’s focus and innovation have allowed it to deliver industry-leading cloud security capabilities to help our customers securely leverage the cloud to accelerate their business,” said Rajiv Gupta, senior vice president and general manager of the cloud security business unit, McAfee. "NanoSec’s technology is a natural extension for McAfee MVISION Cloud, enhancing our current CASB and CWPP products, and adding to our ‘Shift-Left’ capabilities to deliver on the DevSecOps best practice to improve governance and security. NanoSec’s team brings a wealth of experience to McAfee, and together we are committed to enabling organizations to reach their full cloud potential."
"Joining forces with McAfee means that our groundbreaking capabilities including our unique application-identity based approach for app-level protection and micro-segmentation will be available on a global scale,” said Vishwas Manral, founder and CEO of NanoSec. "McAfee has demonstrated not only its leadership in cloud security, but its desire to continually innovate and deliver new capabilities that reshape how organizations can operate workloads and applications safely in the cloud. It felt like a natural fit to join McAfee to deliver to application development and security professionals greater visibility and control over detecting, responding and resolving threats to reduce risk.”
McAfee’s acquisition of NanoSec further demonstrates how McAfee is working to integrate security natively into DevSecOps processes and toolsets to discover and address security issues before applications are deployed. (McAfee: ra)
