Skyfence use Cloud to build a wall to create a secure network environment

Security has always been a cliché, but it is also a topic that many companies are most concerned about migrating to the cloud. Last week, Skyfence company launched a security technology, cloud application gateway. It leverages user behavior as a key tool for cloud security.

Ofer Hendler, founder and CEO of Skyfence, said: "Skyfence is unique in its ability to prevent cyber intrusion." "The company has already raised 3.2 million dollars and is now starting a new round of financing," he said.

The Skyfence Cloud application gateway contains automatic policies that can learn the behavior of general user access applications. These behaviors include user access to cloud application locations, IP address ranges, and data access patterns. Through the collection of these data, can create a unique dynamic fingerprint for the user.

Each processing between the user and the cloud is a learning opportunity for the Skyfence Cloud application gateway to create a user fingerprint. The fingerprint contains the activity history of each user. If there is any inconsistent cloud application access, there is a fingerprint mismatch, Skyfence will issue a system alert to alert users of the risk of intrusion. The system can also detect attacks from within.

Hendler also said that the user fingerprint is only to determine a normal behavior, skyfence can also understand other users similar to the current user access behavior, so a bit different from the behavior of these people, the system will be identified as a deviation from the normal behavior of the access, and to mark to remind users, Secure data.

The user's access is usually based on the role of the enterprise, so the general enterprise will have some of their own access control, such as Microsoft's active Directory,hendler that skyfence can complement active Directory software, It does not interfere with Active Directory usage.

Skyfence can extract the user name and its associated content from each step to determine which content is from Active Directory, and then provide it with appropriate support.

Deployment

The Skyfence Cloud application gateway can be deployed as a local device agent to monitor cloud traffic, and of course the skyfence solution can serve as a SaaS model for the cloud service itself. Users can protect all the infrastructure through this cloud application, and he is flexible and scalable.

Skyfence is not the only vendor in cloud security applications, and other suppliers like Symantec, Hendler said that their product with Symantec is not a competitive relationship but a complementary one.

Skyfence plans to expand its product in 2014 and release a new product in the second quarter that will focus on cloud risk and suitability.
