RedSeal extends digital resilience platform across networks

RedSeal has announced enhancements and new integrations for its network modelling and risk scoring platform. The enhancements will give RedSeal users a single, comprehensive understanding of network security across their data centre, cloud and software-defined networks.

The enhancements also help security teams be more productive despite ever-increasing demands by delivering actionable intelligence from RedSeal’s network modelling platform directly into Splunk’s Enterprise Security SIEM, Rapid7’s Nexpose vulnerability management software, and ForeScout’s CounterACT.

“Enterprises today have complex network infrastructures with many point product security solutions,” said Ray Rothrock, chairman and CEO of RedSeal. “To improve their resilience in the face of inevitable attacks, they need a holistic view of their network that’s deeply integrated with their current security solutions.”

Platform enhancements

The digital infrastructures for nearly all Global 2000 companies include on-premise, cloud and virtualised networks. The resulting networks are large, complex, and constantly changing, making a complete and detailed understanding of the current state of a network very difficult. To address this, RedSeal can now model complete networks – including software-defined networks (SDNs) in VMWare NSX and enhanced modelling of Amazon Web Services Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs).

RedSeal provides critical visibility into access controls for these SDN environments, and alerts users to violations of customised policies they’ve established for their organisations.

Expanded integrations with Splunk, Rapid7 and ForeScout

To streamline security teams’ efforts, and further improve network security, RedSeal now integrates into the user interfaces of Splunk’s Enterprise Security SIEM, Rapid7’s Nexpose vulnerability management software, and ForeScout’s CounterACT.

This improves the efficacy of each of these products, giving their users unprecedented network context within the tools, and in the format, they’re already using. Specifically:

• Integration with Splunk’s Enterprise Security SIEM accelerates incident response efforts. RedSeal provides the SIEM with critical network context and identifies access paths to and from Indicators of Compromise (IOC) leading to other critical assets.
• Integration with Rapid7’s Nexpose vulnerability management software identifies gaps in vulnerability scan coverage.
• Integration with ForeScout’s CounterACT prioritizes hosts in terms of actual risk so appropriate action can be taken.

“Customers tell us that RedSeal’s unique information adds value to a number of their security functions,” said Rothrock. “Now they can get this information without having to open and learn another product. These apps give our customers even more productivity and efficiency, accelerating their ability to identify and respond to problems.”
