Reflex VSA Furthers Virtual Visibility and Access Control
Functionality First Baselines Network Topology Virtual Infrastructure Then Provides Access Control and Security
SAN FRANCISCO, CA–( EMWNews – April 8, 2008) – RSA – Booth # 2732 — Reflex Security, the industry
leader in virtual security, today announced an initiative to further
develop key visibility and access control functionality in its Reflex VSA
Security Appliance) Solution. Dubbed “VISability,” for the ability to
enable Virtual Infrastructure Security, the initiative is the industry’s
first to take the approach that without the ability to visualize both the
logical and physical elements of a virtual network, comprehensive security
cannot be achieved.
Reflex VSA discovers virtual assets and maps them so users can attain a
visual view of the virtual infrastructure that is being secured. The new
initiative is driving the creation of new functionality that will allow
users to drill down into virtualized infrastructure and provide a level of
visibility not found in products available today. With the virtual assets
fully enumerated in combination with the security controls provided by
Reflex VSA, the security administrator has the insight required to
understand, monitor and secure the dynamic environment.
“Visibility and security have always gone hand-in-hand, and in today’s
regulatory and threat environment, that link is ever more crucial,” said
Hezi Moore, CTO of Reflex Security. “Reflex VSA’s ability to expose the
virtual network to the security manager and protect it from threats is a
proven asset, and the first of its kind in the industry. Our development is
building upon VSA’s visibility functionality to add virtual server access
control which will invoke permission-based controls for users that can add
or remove virtual machines and virtual network components.”
Moore added that unlike NAC vendors which generally only focus on the
workstation side for access control, Reflex VSA focuses on virtual servers
accessing the network and everything around them. This provides a broader
view and the ability to stop threats earlier on in the environment.
Reflex Security plans to make the added functionality available this
quarter. Existing customers will be eligible to receive a free upgrade to
the enhanced version.
