Companies in need of a network security solution to gain control of their cloud infrastructure
About IBM Cloud Network Security
Firewalls and security groups are important in securing your cloud environment and the information stored in it, as well as preventing malicious activity from reaching your servers or users. With security groups, easily define security policies at the instance level for virtual firewall protection. Quickly and easily accommodate your security needs with a variety of hardware-based firewalls and scalable security groups. Maintain your essential layer of protection and provision your firewalls on the fly without interrupting your service — when you need to and how you prefer. Single-tenant bare metal servers are dedicated to the customer. Running workloads in an isolated environment adds an extra level of security for your workloads, but not all compute severs are the same when it comes to security. Be sure the solution is truly single tenant and dedicated solely to your organization so you get complete isolation.

indeni
Indeni’s security infrastructure automation platform monitors firewall health and auto-detects issues like misconfigurations or expired licenses before they affect network operations. It automatically prioritizes issues so you only receive the most important alerts. Indeni protects your cloud environment by taking a snapshot of it before it’s built. Our cloud security analysis tool, Cloudrail, reviews your infrastructure-as-code files so you can identify violations earlier in development when they’re easier to fix. Constant detection of HA unreadiness from cross-device inconsistencies in security policies, forwarding tables, and other configurations and state. Consistent measurement of device configuration skew against locally-defined organizational standards. Collect relevant performance and configuration data from leading firewalls, load balancers, and other security infrastructure.

Skybox Security
The Skybox approach to risk-based vulnerability management starts with fresh vulnerability data from your entire network — physical IT, multi–cloud and operational technology (OT). Skybox uses a wide range of sources, including asset and patch management systems and network devices, to assess vulnerabilities without a scan. We also collect, centralize and merge data from multiple scanners to give you the most accurate vulnerability assessments on demand. Centralize and enhance vulnerability management processes from discovery to prioritization and remediation. Harness the power vulnerability and asset data, as well as network topology and security controls. Use network modeling and attack simulation to find exposed vulnerabilities. Augment vulnerability data with intelligence on the current threat landscape. Know your best remediation option, including patching, IPS signatures and network–based changes.
