Unified security architecture is capable of being mapped, tested and measured; enables more proactive threat prevention and auditable regulatory compliance

[From AWS re:Invent 2014 — Venetian, Las Vegas, NV]

SUNNYVALE, CA –November 12, 2014 — RedSeal, Inc. (redseal.co), the end-to-end provider of network visibility and intelligence to evaluate and strengthen network defenses, today announced the integration of RedSeal with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with support for AWS Config, a fully managed service that provides customers with an inventory of their AWS resources, lets them audit resource configuration history, and notifies them of resource configuration changes. With this, physical and cloud security architectures become unified, capable of being mapped, tested and measured.

“Amazon VPC provides our customers with great flexibility for computing and deploying network infrastructure, and customers want to know who has access to their data,” said Ray Rothrock, chairman and CEO of RedSeal. “The integration of RedSeal and AWS VPC with support for AWS Config gives RedSeal customers even more visibility and control over their cloud infrastructure.”

RedSeal’s initial work with AWS allowed customers to analyze the network topology, access control, and general configuration of their networks in Amazon VPC. With this, customers can optimize AWS’s security groups and access controls, as well as assess the security of their systems deployed in the AWS Cloud.

AWS Config, released today, enables customers to track and store the history of Amazon VPC configurations and configuration changes in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). With AWS Config, RedSeal customers get even more information about their AWS resources. Customers can:

Analyze their resources in near real time. AWS Config can proactively notify RedSeal about changes to the Amazon VPC deployment and automatically initiate data import and analysis of a changed setup. This allows customers to analyze their AWS resources in near real time as changes are made to their Amazon VPC.

Validate policy compliance instantly. The integration [KC3]between RedSeal and AWS Config enables customers to define access policies and guidelines and validate any Amazon VPC changes against them– to ensure secure access and limit exposure.

Verify conformance with industry best practices. AWS Config allows RedSeal to run its best practice checks on configurations and configuration changes, so customers can quickly verify if changes conform to recommended best practices.

Validate their full Amazon VPC configuration. The combination of AWS Config and RedSeal helps customers verify and validate all configuration aspects of their Amazon VPC setup and its changes over time.

 

RedSeal specializes in providing network transparency that offers a unique view of network security and enhances trust in the network infrastructure. The technology serves top government agencies and the some of the world’s largest corporations with actionable intelligence that helps evaluate and strengthen network defenses.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — April 23, 2014 — RedSeal, Inc.(redseal.co), the provider of end-to-end network visibility and analytics to prevent cyber attacks, today announced that continuing in its mission to attract top-tier industry talent, the company has hired Martin Walter as the new Senior Director of Product Management, and Robert Capps as the Senior Director of Customer Success. Both are industry veterans with a rich history in their respective fields, and their appointments are designed to further propel the company’s growth.

“Our goal now at RedSeal Networks is to build on the traction we’ve gained with key markets, and the best way to do that is to bring on board professionals who are uniquely qualified to meet evolving market needs,” said Ray Rothrock, CEO of RedSeal Networks and a renowned venture capitalist who took the chief executive spot earlier this year after a decade as board chairman. “That’s why we’re delighted to welcome these outstanding executives to our team. Martin and Robert both have a long track record in leading the development and delivery of innovative technologies, and we’re privileged that they’ve chosen to join the company and take our offerings to the next level.”

Martin Walter has gained a sterling reputation for his extensive experience in product management, combining deep technical expertise with diverse skill sets in product marketing, and pre- and post-sales customer orientation in large enterprise environments. He was most recently Senior Product Manager at Palo Alto Networks, where he supervised User-ID, a primary component of the company’s Next Generation Firewalls offering. Among other areas, he led the development of cryptography and authentication product lines, created PRDs for new features and developed field training, collateral and technology notes for new releases. Before that, he was Product Manager at PGP Corp., where he managed PGP SDKs, PGP Universal Server and PGP Key Management, working with all parts of the organization to identify new business opportunities. Earlier, he was a security consultant specializing in enterprise PKI and encryption/signature solutions, among other technologies.

“I’ve always been drawn to companies that focus on developing innovative technologies for specific market needs, and RedSeal Networks is clearly a leader in that field,” Walter noted. “I look forward to working with this team of dedicated professionals to bring new and exciting products to market.”

Robert Capps brings nearly 20 years of experience in design, management and protection of complex eCommerce systems to his new position. A recognized thought leader in his field, he comes to RedSeal Networks from his post as Senior Manager – Global Trust and Safety, at StubHub Inc. While there, he led the development of a comprehensive risk management and anti-fraud division focused on buyer and seller risk within an open and international marketplace. He also managed the design, implementation and operations of an automated transaction risk modeling, scoring and remediation system. Earlier in his career, he was Assistant VP for Retail Internet Security at Wachovia Corp., where he headed the consumer online security practice for the retail banking unit. He was previously Chief Technologist for Consumer Internet Security at World Savings Bank.

“Information and technology security is a dynamic discipline—every day there are new threats emerging, and developing strategic defenses requires a high level of innovation, which is exactly what RedSeal offers,” Capps observed. “I was previously a customer of the company, and I chose to join it because I’m truly inspired by the commitment to serving and growing the customer base with a very high level of innovation and dedication. I’m excited to get this opportunity to work with a talented team and help lead the market with unique technologies and enhanced customer satisfaction.”

RedSeal Networks specializes in providing network transparency that offers a unique view of network security and enhances trust in the network infrastructure.

In addition to Walter, Capps and Rothrock, the company also recently appointed Mike Eynon, previously the founder and CTO of Silver Tail Systems Inc. as Chief Architect.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.–March 5, 2014 –RedSeal Networks, the end-to-end provider of network visibility and analytics to prevent cyber attacks, announced today that Info Security Products Guide, the leading information security research and advisory guide, has named Dr. Mike Lloyd as “CTO of the Year” in their 10th Annual Global Excellence award program.

Dr. Lloyd’s vision drives the continuing success of RedSeal Networks, delivering security automation, unprecedented visibility, and efficient control of complex network defenses. Lloyd focuses on finding the ideal balance of people with machines – helping organizations deal with increasingly complex defensive challenges at a time when experienced personnel remain in short supply.

Research shows that the majority of real-world breaches stem from relatively simple, well-known, old issues that “hide in plain sight,” lost in the ocean of the shifting details of modern infrastructure. The main challenge is not some wave of super-sophisticated novel attacks. These events attract attention, but are actually rare. Most real breaches are easily prevented in hindsight – the problem, of course, is to apply foresight. This concept has informed Dr. Lloyd’s work over 3 decades in network management, optimization, control, and security. The key challenge is to divide the work between machines and human beings. Machines with the right software are tireless and efficient, but do not know how to innovate or get creative. They can exhaustively track down interactions and effects that humans miss, and free humans to focus on what they do best, such as setting strategy and policy.

Dr. Lloyd’s writing on topics such as the ideal “Security War Room,” challenges in Big Data for Security Analytics, BYOD, and Risk Management have driven industry-wide discussions about automation, how to secure rapidly evolving infrastructure, and even implications for legal and insurance accountability.
