Bracknell, July 14th, 2011:

Panda Security, the Cloud Security Company, has made available version 5.50 of its cloud-based solution Panda Cloud Office Protection. The new version, which offers businesses antivirus and firewall protection, now incorporates remote control tools like TeamViewer, VNC and LogMeln.

The new feature will save administrators a lot of time, as they will be able to remotely access computers managed by Panda Cloud Office Protection directly using their preferred remote control tool installed. With a simple click, users will be able to access computers for troubleshooting or installation purposes, directly from the console and without needing to go on-site.

Panda Cloud Office Protection, which has recently been awarded the top 5 Star rating by PC Magazine (RE), is a cloud-based endpoint security service that can be managed remotely from anywhere through its web console.

Panda Cloud Office Protection eliminates the need for antivirus servers as the security infrastructure is 100% hosted in the cloud. The solution can be installed remotely either through its distribution tool or simply by sending an email to the PCs where the protection is to be installed. It offers group policies for protection configuration, consolidated reports covering all types of malware and network threats, and a unified, centralized quarantine.

The new version is fully integrated with Panda Security’s new Panda Cloud Partner Center, a web console that lets channel partners and service providers manage clients’ security and lifecycle (from trial-to-purchase-to-renewal) simply and centrally. Also, its monitoring features allow channel partners to identify sales opportunities and generate additional revenue by identifying unprotected clients, workstations, servers, etc.

The new version is now available through channel partners and the company’s website. All existing users will be automatically updated to the new version free of charge. You can get more information about Panda Security’s cloud-based security solutions at: http://cloudprotection.pandasecurity.com.

Cloud Security Reports

report Monitoring And Measuring Cloud Providers' Security Performance
There is no ignoring the cloud, which means that IT professionals must find ways to monitor and measure the performance of cloud providers. While moving even in part to a cloud model is a big change for many reasons, the most significant difference is a loss of direct control. Just as security groups often struggle with managing security inside a corporation when in a governance role, we struggle even more with governing the security of assets that no longer sit within our own data centers. The challenge is to develop and implement a strong governance model for these cloud offerings that ensures that security is part of the conversation.

report How to Manage Identity in the Public Cloud
Use of the public cloud for enterprise applications complicates what was already a complicated task: identity management. As companies increase their use of cloud-based applications, IT and security professionals must make some tough and far-reaching decisions about how to provision, deprovision and otherwise manage user access. This Dark Reading report examines the options and provides recommendations for determining which one is right for your organization.

report Spot Trouble In The Cloud: Adapting Security Monitoring & Incident Response.
Security monitoring, incident response and forensics are essential, even in the cloud. But the cloud by definition implies relinquishing at least some control, which can make these practices problematic. In this report, we identify the challenges of detecting and responding to security issues in the cloud and discuss the most effective ways to address them.
