SAN FRANCISCO, April 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CloudPassageⓇ, the leader in automated cloud workload and container security, today announced Halo Cortex. Halo Cortex combines the most common integrations for the Halo platform in one, easy-to-implement package, facilitating true security automation while enabling interactions with the Halo platform using Slack.
Halo Cortex is designed for deep integration into DevOps workflows and processes, with many of the included tools delivered as Docker containers that can be transitioned, piece-by-piece, into an existing DevOps toolset. It is available as community-supported, open-source software under the BSD license. CloudPassage also offers support for Halo Cortex as part of the CloudPassage Halo platform.
According to Jon Oltsik, senior principal analyst and the founder of cybersecurity services at Enterprise Strategy Group, the global cybersecurity skills shortage is leading to adoption of security automation and orchestration technologies to improve staff productivity. Recent research states, 19 percent of enterprise organizations have already deployed technologies for security automation and orchestration extensively, 39 percent have done so on a limited basis, and 26 percent are engaged in a project to automate/orchestrate security operations.
“We recommend using Halo Cortex to jump-start security automation within your organization,” said Ash Wilson, strategic engineering specialist for CloudPassage. “You can absorb specific components from Halo Cortex into your existing automation processes later on, or you can use Cortex as-is and eventually extend its functionality. The beauty of Halo Cortex is it can be customized to meet specific needs within your organization's environment, and no matter how you intend to use it, we have documentation to guide your team through the process of adding functionality.”
