FALLS CHURCH, Va. & SAN FRANCISCO -- (Business Wire)
CSC
(NYSE: CSC), a global leader in next-generation IT services and
solutions, today unveiled an enhanced, pay-as-you-go Cloud Security
Services solution that enables enterprise clients to scale their cloud
workload security functionality up or down as required by business,
technical or financial needs.

Developed by CSC’s Cybersecurity and Cloud teams along with technology
partner CloudPassage®, On-Demand Workload Protection
is designed to allow clients to protect their cloud workloads and
consume cloud-based security services using the same attributes that
have made public cloud computing services so popular today.
Historically, clients have been forced to cobble together solutions
based on multiple technologies and using legacy licensing models. This
new security-as-a-service capability addresses the growing client demand
for flexible, consumption-based security models that flex in concert
with their business and operational requirements.
Though some security controls can be purchased directly from individual
public cloud providers, each requires self-management and incident
reporting rarely spanning different vendors. Keeping track of alerts or
incidents for multiple cloud workloads has required a costly dedicated
security operations center or managed security services provider. Until
now.
“CSC’s On-Demand Workload Protection offers an affordable
pay-as-you-consume alternative that gives an enterprise clear visibility
into all of its traditional and next-generation platforms and
workloads,” said Ashish Mahadwar, executive vice president and general
manager, CSC Emerging Business Group. “Eliminating the need for
dedicated staff to manage and monitor multiple security services
internally also frees up resources that can be invested elsewhere in the
business.”
The new offering works by deploying ultra-lightweight CloudPassage Halo
agents on every server instance in any combination of data centers –
private cloud or public cloud – to monitor server activity without
interfering with performance. These agents are deployed through
orchestration tools manually or with scripts – even on live systems
without reboot – and can maintain complete visibility for customers into
all systems with a single user interface via CSC’s proprietary Pulse
portal.
CIOs or CISOs challenged by disparate business units standing up their
own systems and workloads in the cloud – and possibly putting sensitive
company information at risk – may find CSC’s latest cyber offering
particularly compelling. The On Demand Workload Protection service can
provide individual business units dedicated packages customized to their
unique policy or regulatory needs but still managed securely via a
single platform, enabling confident and cost-efficient corporate
oversight and security control across the enterprise.
The new
solution is available now. To learn more about how CSC can help
