SAN MATEO, CA – RedSeal Systems, Inc. have announced that online gaming giant Betfair has selected RedSeal’s proactive network security assessment solutions to further strengthen its defensive infrastructure and protect critical information systems.

RedSeal empowers enterprise organizations to analyze any possible path of access permitted or denied across their entire network to understand real-world points of IT risk before they can be compromised.

Rather than addressing individual threats, aggregating log data or auditing the behavior of individual firewalls or routers, RedSeal models the interaction of all network defenses to provide detailed visibility into any gaps in security, empower continuous compliance with industry regulations and ensure protection of key business assets.

By providing management with the unique ability to identify exposure to real-world threats and create metrics to trend the efficacy of network security defenses over time, RedSeal allows organizations with complex infrastructure to understand and improve the effectiveness of their overall security strategy.

“The complexity and incessant change in today’s enterprise networks has made it impossible for people to manage security without the aid of automation,” said Dr. Mike Lloyd, Chief Technology Officer at RedSeal. “We’re very pleased to list Betfair as a customer, as they are a high-profile leader in their industry who recognized RedSeal as a solution that’s necessary to address today’s real-world security challenges.”

Facilitating Betfair’s adoption of RedSeal was UK security systems integration specialists Armadillo Managed Services, which has established a long-standing reputation within the gaming industry, along with other key verticals including the government and financial services sectors.

“RedSeal represents a tremendous opportunity for enterprise organizations to adopt a powerful, innovative new methodology for visualizing network security to bolster compliance and improve protection of assets and information,” said Mark Newns, CEO of Armadillo. “We’re proud to have helped bring RedSeal into a respected organization such as Betfair and believe that there’s huge potential for this solution to advance network security and risk management across our entire customer base.”

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.
