SUPERIOR, CO and BOSTON, MA, Apr 07 (MARKET WIRE) --
StillSecure(R), creator of secure network infrastructure solutions, and
Montego Networks(TM), innovative provider of policy enforcement, access control
and
secureswitching for virtual networks, today announced a partnership that brings
ahigher level of security to virtual environments. Through the integration
between the
Montego Networks HyperVSecurity(TM) technology platform and StillSecure
security solutions, virtual-to-virtual environments can now be inspected and
secured from network attacks.
Most security products today cannot detect malicious or harmful traffic
within a
virtual-to-virtual traffic flow without issues relating to latency and
efficiency. Traffic has to be routed out of the virtual environment to a
non-virtual, standalone appliance, where it is inspected and then routed back to
the virtual network. The integration between StillSecure Strata Guard(R) (the
company's IDS/IPS solution) and Montego's HyperVSecurity architecture allows
StillSecure
customers to leverage the power, efficiency and operational benefits of the
Montego
Networks HyperSwitch(TM) -- the industry's first virtual security switch.
Deploying Strata Guard as a virtual machine within the Montego environment
protects virtual data centers, which is a particularly important enabler for
environments with numerous virtualized servers and applications. Integration
with other StillSecure solutions is already under way.
"StillSecure has been on the cutting edge of securing virtual environments
for a
number of years and we're excited to build out our partnership as we launch
Montego's efforts to secure virtualized network environments," said John
Peterson, CTO and Co-Founder of Montego Networks. "We're excited by the
strong interest that our HyperVSecurity architecture and HyperSwitch product is
having in the market because it validates our approach to integrate network
policy enforcement and access control with a high-availability virtual
security switch."
"Virtualization provides many benefits to the data center including
minimizing
costs, rack space, as well as the time and effort it takes to deploy new
hardware and applications," said Alan Shimel, Chief Strategy Officer at
StillSecure. "Through our partnership with Montego Networks, StillSecure has the
ability to work within the hypervisor to provide IDS/IPS, vulnerability
management, and NAC in virtual-to-virtual environments. We look forward to
working with
companies like Montego who understand the importance of virtualization and
can help us bring security to the virtual world."
A demonstration of the Montego/StillSecure integration will be on display at
the
upcoming RSA conference. Please visit StillSecure's booth, #2439, for details.
