Evident.io Helps Enterprises Reduce Complexity of Securing Multicloud Environments with New Support for Microsoft Azure

Sep 21, 2017 at 12:00 AM

Pleasanton, CA — September 21, 2017 — Evident.io, the leading provider of public cloud compliance and security solutions, today announced Evident Security Platform (ESP®) support for Microsoft Azure. Combined with support for Amazon Web Services (AWS), ESP provides enterprises automated and continuous visibility and control of their compliance and security across multiple public cloud platforms from a single pane of glass.

Organizations are building and deploying applications and workloads across multicloud environments in order to reduce risk, accommodate preferences of their development and operations teams, and take advantages of the unique strengths offered by different cloud providers. Gartner predicts that a multicloud strategy will become the common strategy for 70% of enterprises by 2019, up from less than 10% today.1 However, moving to a multicloud environment creates operational complexity for security, risk, and compliance teams who need visibility and actionable insights across diverse resources, infrastructures, and compliance and business requirements.

Evident Security Platform provides an actionable view of infrastructure risks and compliance violations across Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services environments from a unified view. By analyzing the configurations of all the services and account settings in the clouds against strict security and compliance controls and prioritizing the risks found, ESP helps cloud practitioners ensure their deployments are secure and achieve a continuous state of cloud compliance.

A free trial of the ESP is available allowing organizations to get an assessment of their cloud security within minutes of signing up.

News Highlights: 
Evident Security Platform helps enterprises reduce risks of managing and securing multicloud environments in Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services by enabling automated infrastructure risk assessment with:

  • Continuous, Real-time Risk Identification: Event-driven detection of changes in your cloud infrastructure drastically reduces time to identification and resolution of vulnerabilities in environments.
  • Customizable Security: Control checks and automated policy-driven enforcement workflows can be tailored to map to an enterprise’s distinct security policies.
  • Tools for DevOps, SecOps and Compliance Teams: Delivers easily consumable information critical to each team to support the organization’s continuous innovation efforts while maintaining rigorous security and compliance.

Supporting Quotes: 
“Enterprises are free to choose the cloud platform that works best for each teams’ purpose, however they require assurances that they are not compromising their established security and governance standards. Managing security and compliance across multi-cloud environments has been arduous for organizations, and we’re pleased to provide a solution that will unify the platforms under a perpetual state of automation-driven cloud compliance.” 
— Tim Prendergast, CEO and co-founder, Evident.io

“Development teams need to be able to leverage the best tools to deliver innovative solutions for clients, and sometimes that means utilizing multiple cloud platforms. But, this strategy creates incredible complexity for security teams tasked with monitoring and managing secure and compliant environments. By providing real-time control of cloud infrastructure security, the Evident Security Platform allows organizations to keep moving fast without sacrificing their security or compliance posture.” 
— Zane Lackey, Chief Security Officer and founder, Signal Sciences
