Appcito Introduces One-click Provisioning of Application Security for Cloud Applications in AWS EnvironmentsAWS re:Invent, booth 345 -- Appcito, a provider of application delivery solutions for applications on public and private clouds, today announced new capabilities to Appcito CAFE that deliver an unmatched level of simplicity to users for securing native cloud applications in AWS environments. These enhancements include one-click provisioning of application-specific rules and continuous signature updates. With integrated load balancing and a scale-out architecture, the deployment architecture is dramatically simplified and makes the solution both highly available and scalable. Provisioning and updating security rules for the broad range of applications used by enterprises is extremely complex and poses an ongoing challenge for IT teams. Appcito significantly decreases the time required to provision by providing a one-click rule set which instantly deploys thousands of preconfigured rules for popular applications including WordPress, Joomla, Sharepoint and others. This capability takes the guesswork out of determining what security controls are important for each application, reduces false positives and reduces the time for deploying application security to seconds. Additionally, daily automatic ruleset updates from Appcito protect the applications from new, emerging attacks. Application Security (News - Alert) in AWS Environments is a Shared Responsibility Appcito integrates Layer 7 Web Application Firewall capabilities with Layer 4 IDS/IPS capabilities for AWS environments, delivering more comprehensive cloud application security than any other solution on the market and enabling users to reach a higher level of security and compliance. Because Appcito is providing a solution that makes it easy for users to secure their cloud applications quickly and cost-effectively, it enables organizations to reach a higher level of security and compliance than otherwise possible. "The requirement for application delivery contrl has expanded beyond proxy-driven load balancing to include a suite of L4-L7 services. The addition of security by Appcito to its cloud-based application delivery suite, provides a simple mechanism for cloud application developers to secure their applications with access to a wide range of L4-L7 services, and positions Appcito very competitively in the application delivery control market. " - Cliff Grossner, Ph.D., Research Director, Data Center, Cloud and SDN at IHS (News - Alert). Key features in this version of CAFE include:
"Because there is no single solution today that provides simple and reliable cloud application security, organizations have to rely on a hodgepodge of tools that merely come close to providing adequate security, but do not easily or fully secure applications in the cloud," said Kamal Anand (News - Alert), co-founder and CEO of Appcito. "Appcito has developed our solution to address this unmet need - Appcito CAFE protects applications in the cloud from application level threats and lowers the risk and costs for organizations." Supporting Resources Appcito Appcito provides an application delivery solution that enhances the availability and security of cloud applications, while increasing DevOps efficiency. In April Gartner (News - Alert) named Appcito as one of the "Cool Vendors in Enterprise Networking, 2015" for its cloud native application front-end (CAFE) solution. Appcito CAFE provides elastic load balancing and application security with deep application analytics and insights for traditional, micro-services and container-based applications deployed in public or private clouds.
