BURLINGAME, Calif.– December 14, 2011 – Mykonos Software, the leading provider of Web Intrusion Prevention Systems (WIPS), today announced that its flagship product, Mykonos Web Security, now supports Websites and applications hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Mykonos support for AWS enables a company to extend its enterprise security capabilities to the cloud.

“Today’s enterprises are rushing to the cloud without understanding the security implications that come with it,” said David Koretz, president and CEO of Mykonos Software. “Mykonos is the first company to bring enterprise-class Web application security to the cloud.”

Mykonos Web Security uses deception to detect, confuse, slow down and prevent attackers in real-time—helping to keep Websites safe. Today’s announcement expands Mykonos Web Security deployment options from existing software and virtualized models that protect Web applications hosted within internal networks to a wider audience of cloud-based Web properties. Companies looking to protect their Web applications hosted within the Amazon EC2 environment can simply evaluate and deploy the Mykonos Web Security product using the Amazon Machine Image (AMI), which is available directly from Mykonos Software.

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.
