Bitdefender Cloud Security and Security for Virtualised Environments

The latest trend in technology is cloud computing. It is mostly unfair to call it a “trend”, per se, given that virtualisation and in-the-cloud technologies are the way of the future. Keep up or fall behind.

And Bitdefender are keeping up – good and proper. With their latest product releases hitting all the sweet spots and wowing everyone exposed to them (such as Holton’s Windhoek audience), Bitdefender Cloud Security and Security for Virtualised Environments are proof perfect of the innovation of this internet security solution.

By now the magnificence of virtualisation and cloud computing are well known; securing a virtualised environment is the next step and Bitdefender’s newest offerings have been designed to provide highly advanced, proactive, and reliable security.

Bitdefender Cloud Security for Endpoints

Utilising security technology that has been declared the best time and time again, cloud-based Cloud Security for Endpoints is managed by a Cloud Security Console and requires no onsite server hardware or maintenance to run at its optimal levels of expectation and protection. The Cloud Security Console is an intuitive and powerful interface able to secure any number of systems, regardless of their geographical location.

With many key benefits, this solution is the preferred cost-effective security solution that is easy to manage but still powerful and flexible. Some of these benefits include:

• Number one-ranked antimalware technology is provided.
• Laptop, desktop and server endpoints are protected and managed.
• Instantly available enterprise-class endpoint security with no onsite management and server overheads.
• Silent and unobtrusive. Scans, updates and configuration changes are managed centrally and absolutely no user input is necessary.
• Multiple endpoint deployment options are supported through local network discovery.
• Network traffic is minimised with small incremental updates that are shared within the local network.
• Any number of endpoints distributed across any number of locations are centrally managed.
• Roaming and remote users’ internet access is protected with two-way firewalls with intrusion detection.
• With control over applications and web-usage for specific hours, categories and keywords, productivity is increased

Bitdefender security for Virtualised Environments

Virtualisation’s benefits for business are numerous. Just the reduced hardware costs and carbon footprint alone should be enough to convince enterprises to make the leap. The speedy return on investment is an added bonus.  

Realising the full potential of a virtualised datacentre involves organisations consolidating elements of the workloads themselves. Security is an element that is vital and must be present across all workloads. Security is, and should always be, a priority.

To get the absolute most out of consolidation ratios and operational benefits, security must not be sacrificed; Bitdefender Security for Virtualised Environments is the first comprehensive security solution for virtualised datacentres. 

Safeguarding Windows, Solaris and Linux systems (desktops and servers alike) and integrating seamlessly with VMware vShield and VMware vCenter, the unique architecture of this solution allows for the protection of ANY system running on any virtualisation technology out there.

The key benefits of SVE include:

• Number one-ranked antimalware technology is provided.
• Significant cost reductions are generated through higher consolidation ratios.
• Patent-pending high performance is provided.
