StillSecure (News - Alert) announced that two of its cloud security solutions will now be available via the enhanced Cloud Tools Marketplace from Rackspace Hosting which specializes in cloud computing.
It was revealed that this marketplace will now become a gateway serving as an open ecosystem of cloud solutions. This will open up a wide range of tools that support Rackspace (News - Alert) open cloud for customers. The two cloud security solutions available to customers via Rackspace are the Cloud Network Security Appliance (Cloud NSA) and Cloud Security Monitoring Services (Cloud SMS).
In a release Ven Shanmugam, senior manager of corporate strategy at Rackspace said, “Rackspace is excited to have StillSecure as a part of the Cloud Tools Marketplace. By utilizing StillSecure’s Cloud solutions and Managed Security Services, Rackspace customers have options to address the complications that go along with building out their security infrastructure or using outboard security appliances.”
StillSecure Cloud NSA serves as a managed security services suite for cloud infrastructure that optimizes security.
