Cybersecurity firm Sophos is releasing Cloud Native Security, a new offering designed to address the requirements of protecting workloads and provide comprehensive security coverage across environments, workloads and identities.
According to the U.K.-based cybersecurity software provider, Cloud Native Security also gives customers centralized visibility, prioritized detections and faster incident response times in a single SKU that includes other Sophos tools, such as Intercept X Advanced for Server with XDR and Sophos Cloud Optix Advanced.
This combined solution includes security features such as visibility, governance, entitlements management and compliance across single and multi-cloud environments, including AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform, in addition to traditional on-prem monitoring.
According to the company, Sophos Cloud Native Security also comes with protection and detection for infrastructure and data for today and as it evolves in the future, with flexible host and container workload security for Windows and Linux.
Sophos says its Cloud Native Security bundle also offers increased agility and collaboration across the organization, with cloud environment security posture alerts integrated with popular SIEM, collaboration, workflow and DevOps tools.
IT and security professionals can manage Cloud Native Security themselves, or they can choose to have it managed by Sophos’ Managed Threat Response Service experts.
Cloud Native Security is available today, while Cloud Native Firewall will be available in preview soon. Both are integrated with the Sophos XDR platform. The Cloud Native Firewall will support IPS, WAF rules, micro-segmentation, and Admission Control and be deployable from native Kubernetes, AWS EKS, and Azure AKS, according to the company.
The new solution comes after the company last week announced it was combining SophosLabs, Sophos SecOps and Sophos AI to create Sophos X-Ops, a new combined team of Sophos cybersecurity research experts to help better defend against constantly changing attacks.
The company says the Sophos X-Ops team identified and thwarted increasing attacks against unpatched Microsoft SQL servers.
