Dome9 Security Launches Free, Centralized Firewall Management Service For Unlimited Number of Cloud Servers

Security remains the number-one concern for enterprises who have adopted cloud computing. In an effort to protect the maximum number of servers, Dome9 (News - Alert) Security has recently launched a new free cloud security service called Dome9 Lite Cloud.

Dome9 is the leading provider of automated cloud security firewall management services for public and private clouds, and recently announced its winning of the 2011 Cloud Computing Excellence Award from TMC (News - Alert).

Dome9 clarified in a press release that the new service has been designed to provide centralized firewall management for an unlimited number of servers on the cloud. The new service will be available for virtual private, cloud, collocated and hosted environments.

In most cases, host firewalls are too difficult to manage, adding to the vulnerability of any one cloud server. Dome9 and its Lite Cloud service can elasticize cloud security with automated cloud firewall management.

The service allows developers and administrators to simplify security management for an unlimited number of Windows, Linux servers and clouds. By using Dome9’s free service, users gain secure access to any server on any cloud, officials explained in the release.

By reducing the chances of misconfiguraion of cloud server firewalls, this GUI-based firewall management service helps to scale security to any infrastructure.

Closing the gaps left from unsecured access and vulnerabilities missed by patching ensures that the service can secure every server and every cloud.

With Dome9 Lite Cloud, administrators no longer have to manually manage Linux IP Tables or a Windows Firewall for any dedicated, cloud or virtual private server (VPS).

Dome9 Lite Cloud features activity logging and auditing, support for multiple administrators and Dome9 Security Groups. The application is update-ready to Dome9's Business Cloud service, which offers many new capabilities. Using Dome9's centralized GUI-based approach, IT teams can avoid the hassle of individually managing IP tables or the Windows firewall, and secure access to any cloud server.

Dome9’s current promotion allows new customers of Dome9's free Lite Cloud service to enjoy the enhanced features of Dome9's Business Cloud service for 30 days, including Dome9's patent-pending Secure Access Lease technology. It provides one-click, time-based access to any server and cloud. Lite Cloud customers can also upgrade to Dome9's Business Cloud with just a few clicks and for just 4 cents per hour on any server.
