Technologies

Cloud Security Platform

The Threat Stack Cloud Security Platform (CSP)[7][8][9] provides continuous security monitoring in cloud environments where network-based controls cannot be deployed. It is a platform-independent solution intended for companies of all sizes operating on-premise or in public, private, or hybrid cloud environments.[10] Threat Stack aims to eliminate the need for multiple point solutions in the cloud, and gives users a single view into integrated workload insights, infrastructure monitoring, vulnerability management, threat intelligence, and compliance reporting. In addition, it allows users to create their own rules and filters in order to more effectively monitor events specific to the needs of their company, organization, or environment.[11]
