… communicating directly via the internet. Next, only RedLock looks at network traffic data to see if the database is actually communicating directly via the internet. Since competitors only look at configuration data, they have no visibility into this.

Additionally, only RedLock leverages threat intelligence data that it ingests from a third-party source to see if the database is communicating via the internet with any known suspicious IP addresses — if so, that is an indicator of compromise. Furthermore, only RedLock uses data science to determine if the traffic from the suspicious IP address was actually accepted by the database — and if so, now you have an active threat. But only RedLock would have been able to detect it.

CP: How do you think your technology portfolio will change in the next three years?

DM: Over the next three years, RedLock will increase the breadth and depth of its portfolio. Today we support Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform; we will add support for other platforms based on market demand. In addition, we integrate with enterprise security tools such as Splunk and will add support for additional enterprise integrations over the next several years.

Furthermore, RedLock provides policy packs for CIS, PCI and NIST today and will continue to add support for others.

CP: How do you expect your channel strategy to evolve over that timeframe?

DM: RedLock is committed to selling 100-percent through the channel and plans to expand the partner portfolio significantly. This includes broad national coverage as well as international expansion. We also anticipate creating differentiated tiers within our partner program to reward partners that outperform.

CP: What didn’t we ask that partners should know?

DM: Global brands across a variety of verticals trust RedLock to secure their public cloud infrastructure: Proofpoint, a cloud-based cybersecurity company, uses RedLock for holistic visibility across hundreds of workloads in multiple accounts; Veeva Systems, a leading provider of cloud-based applications for the global life sciences industry, uses RedLock to ensure that its AWS environment complies with regulations; and Nerdwallet, a personal finance application, uses RedLock to achieve real-time risk visibility across dynamic cloud infrastructure.

A Fortune 500 insurance corporation was able to achieve digital transformation with confidence by ensuring its AWS environment meets compliance mandates. A Fortune 1000 software provider gained visibility and control over risks across 10,000-plus workloads in 100 different AWS accounts.
