… risks over the entire cloud infrastructure, across multiple public clouds, and down to every component within them — all in a single view. They appreciate that we provide a level of holistic visibility that’s not available anywhere else on the market today.
Customers also communicate that RedLock’s ability to keep up with the public cloud’s ever-increasing rate of change is unmatched; in fact, our research shows that the average cloud workload exists for only 127 minutes. Without RedLock in place to provide automated monitoring, anomaly detection, cloud forensics, adaptive response and compliance reporting, organizations have little visibility into their public cloud environments and may not detect when security policies and best practices are being broken, or when attackers are attempting to access confidential information or systems.

With various lines of business adopting public cloud services in their own silos, security teams have been left in the dark with no visibility into those environments. Within minutes, the RedLock platform can be implemented by connecting to public cloud environments via 50-plus APIs, without requiring any agents or proxies, providing a complete view of the public cloud infrastructure, and ultimately enabling security and DevOps to confidently move together at the speed of business.
