CloudQuest Announces Availability of Guardian for Continuous Security Posture Assessment and Risk-Based Remediation Automation Through Google Cloud Platform Marketplace

CUPERTINO, Calif., Dec. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CloudQuest, Inc., a Google Cloud Technology partner focused on enterprise cloud security, today announced the availability of its flagship product, Guardian, on Google Cloud Platform Marketplace.

Guardian provides Google Cloud Platform (GCP) customers with rapid insight into the security posture of their enterprise GCP deployments. Gathering assets and findings from Cloud Security Command Center (Cloud SCC), Guardian enables the orchestration of security issues making them actionable and accountable.

Using Cloud SCC as the hub for security events, Guardian can track threats and vulnerabilities identified by both Google Cloud-native and 3rd party vulnerability detectors. Guardian's GCP-native architecture enables it to use GCP-specific information to determine how to optimally handle workflows and automation in response to security events.

Through its ability to easily leverage future Google Cloud-native and 3rd party detectors, Guardian is able to provide observability to the security posture across the entire GCP deployment while future proofing customer roadmaps.

Key Features:

• Customized Role-Based dashboards for Security and Compliance Posture Monitoring
• Automatic ticket creation for policy violations and SCC findings without any manual intervention.
• GCP hierarchy aware architecture enables pinpoint targeting for policies and SCC findings and removes the need to apply policies across the whole organization.
• Workflows such as whitelists, time-based exemptions and alerts, bring order to complex GCP deployments.
• Rich set of integrations and routing capabilities bridge security incidents to developer and SoC tools such as Jira and ServiceNow.
• Deployment within customers' managed GCP infrastructure ensures that security posture and attack surface data never leave the GCP deployment and are visible only to users in the organization.
• Ensures auditability and provenance of policies. Security data is preserved as immutable objects, enabling reviews and audit of historical posture data.

GCP Marketplace lets users quickly install functional software packages that run on Google Cloud Platform. Guardian is a cloud native Kubernetes application that runs in the customers' GCP environment. Designed as a Marketplace Click-To-Deploy application, users can be up and running within a few minutes. With the convenience of integrated GCP billing, there is no need to procure licenses and users are billed directly by Google Cloud.

"As lines of business demand frictionless cloud computing, under-resourced enterprises' security teams are being stretched and are feeling the need to shift-left with respect to security in order to address issues closer to their points of origin. This requires a rethink of current security practices and tools in favor of early and continuous assessments, risk-based remediation response automation and being more proactive overall," said Vijay Sarathy, CEO at CloudQuest, Inc. "Guardian is focused on helping enterprises address exactly these challenges. Further, Guardian's GCP-native architecture uniquely positions it to help enterprises address the challenges of securing their Google Cloud deployments while unleashing the full potential of the cloud to developers."
