RedCannonn's flagship solution VMFW utilizes several patent-pending technologies to provide one most comprehensinve solutions available virtualization security in the industry. VMFW provides a complete virtualization protection and enterprise policy enforcement using it's VMFW Enforcer components.
Founded in 2004 by the security industry veteran & entrepreneur Vimal Vaidya, RedCannon has built a strong and experienced team of security experts to develop solutions that help enterprises enforce security compliance on their newly deployed virtualization servers.
Virtualization is the key component in the growth of “Cloud” or “Utility” computing and Software as a Service (SaaS). In fact, IDC forecasts (in their report published in Oct'2009) Cloud computing to be $44B market by 2013, making it 10% of IT spending. Virtualization enables Clouds to provide essentially unlimited computing capacity as needed without the cost of deploying and maintaining nearly as many individual servers. However, virtual servers need the same level of protection from malicious attack and violation of policy that individual hardware servers do and according Pacific Crest, virtualization security market will grow to $1-$2B by 2010; while a recent survey by IDC states that over 70% of respondent are already allocating funding for VSAs in their budgets.
As the proliferation of VMs grows in organizations, whether authorized or unauthorized, so does the internal & external security requirement to protect those VMs. As per the golden rule of digital security the closer the security is to the environment, the more effective protection it provides, the best security implementation then is the one that is implemented right on the VM host.
RedCannon’s award-winning product line includes:
RedCannon VM Firewall is a comprehensive Enterprise solution for VM security through network & end-point enforcement from within the Hypervisor or the VMHost. For the Hypervisor based implementation VMFW has a VM Appliance which runs within the Hypervisor while the VMHost-based implementation has a set of policy enforcement agents that reside on each virtualization server within the organization. Through centrally configured VM enforcement policies & integrated VME enforcement module along with a network firewall and IDSP/IPS, it can protect each individual VM Server & Workstation from vulnerabilities as simple as unauthorized VM Sprawl to much more sophisticated virtualization attacks such as VM Escapes or Hyperjacking.
At the heart of the VMFW enforcement is the VMFW Controller which is essentially the Management server for all of VMFW components. VMFW Controller is a VM Appliance which can be plugged in to any VMWare server or Workstation. It provides complete life-cycle management of VMFW components including policy management, software change management, centralized log collection & reporting. It support multi-tier administrative roles and can be used across remote locations. VMFW Manager is a Windows Application which provides the user-interface for all administrative tasks related to policy settings, change management & backup/restore of configuration. VMFW Manager can be accessed remotely from any machine on the internal network. VMFW Controller, Manager and all other components communicate securely over SSL.
RedCannon VMBlocker is one of the most powerful end-point enforcement solutions available to organizations for ensuring Virtualization compliance in their network by restricting all VM environments on each computer to only the authorized ones approved by the Enterprise. Using a patent-pending technology it can identify & enforce Enterprise policy on all known Type-2 VM Environments.
