HyTrust unveils Cloud Control to provide Cloud adoption

Enables customers to extend from private cloud to hybrid cloud without compromising security, control and compliance

HyTrust, a provider of access control and policy enforcement for virtualisation infrastructure, has unveiled Cloud Control and out-of-the-box integration between HyTrust Appliance and VMware vCloud Director.

The new offering provides authentication, role-based access control, security and visibility to VMware-based clouds, which enables transparency and accountability for cloud services.

The company said that the vCloud Director allows organisations to expand IT capacity or migrate applications to the public cloud by its open standards and interoperability of applications.

The HyTrust Cloud Control provides customers the ability to incorporate a cloud-based service model into their IT strategy and extend from private cloud to hybrid cloud without compromising security, control and compliance.

HyTrust president and CEO Eric Chiu said that despite all the benefits of cloud computing, security and compliance remain top-level concerns that hinder organisations from making the move.

"HyTrust addresses those concerns head-on by allowing enterprises to maintain and extend their policies into the cloud while giving them the visibility they need to ensure compliance," Chiu said.

The company said that the new HyTrust Cloud Control includes multi-factor authentication and federated identity; advanced protection of sensitive workloads in the cloud; granular role-based access control for separation of duties; and hardening and monitoring of the cloud services platform.
