Capabilities from Elastica’s CloudSOC, such as full cloud application DLP and cloud breach detection, auditing and forensics, will be quickly integrated into the Blue Coat Security Platform and the Cloud Generation Gateway feature set.

Blue Coat has aggressively engaged in defining the future of cloud security by investing over $500 million in organic and inorganic development in recent years. This work was embarked upon to empower customers as they redefine their network and security models for the cloud generation. By combining Blue Coat’s industry leading on- and off-premise threat defense and cloud data protection with Elastica’s Cloud Access Security and Analytics, Blue Coat stands alone in providing the industry’s first solution to deliver today’s cloud generation security requirements.

“Currently, encrypted traffic is a huge blind spot for enterprise visibility. The importance of privacy will ensure this trend continues, but investments in network security are largely being wasted when encrypted traffic isn’t being inspected,” said Adrian Sanabria, senior security analyst at 451 Research. “Sophisticated attackers know that evading defenses to get command and control traffic or data out of the enterprise is often as simple as using encryption in transit and perhaps a proxy or two. However, the technology to decrypt that traffic is only half the challenge – the other half is to leverage existing network security investments, which is why Blue Coat’s partnering efforts are so important.”

“We are thrilled TMC has honored us with The Cloud Computing Excellence Award,” said David Canellos, CEO of Perspecsys. “As demand for strong data security and regulatory compliance in the cloud has surged, we have been laser focused on delivering the best enterprise-class capabilities for encryption and tokenization in public cloud environments. To have our efforts and success recognized with this award is a significant achievement for our entire team.”

EDR solutions include a variety of endpoint technologies ranging from application protection and privilege management, whitelisting, execution isolation and comprehensive visibility and control. While the secure proxy remains the most critical control point with complete visibility and control in the network, the intelligence and actionable data that can now be gathered from endpoint devices, such as Windows PC's and Linux machines, is extremely useful for the security operations and incident response teams. As a result, it is critical that organizations are able to connect the in-depth traffic termination and inspection capability that only a proxy can provide, to the host-level visibility and remediation capabilities within EDR.
