Catbird, a specialist in security and compliance for virtual, cloud and physical networks

Catbird, a specialist in security and compliance for virtual, cloud and physical networks, announced plans to add
VMware vShield controls to Catbird vSecurity through a partnership with VMware.
The integration will give Catbird vSecurity customers the ability to deploy the
VMware vShield App as an integrated component of Catbird’s security and
compliance solution for virtualized infrastructure.
“This partnership brings together VMware
and Catbird virtualization technology and security solutions to deliver
world-class protection to virtualized and cloud-based computing environments,”
said Edmundo Costa, Catbird's CEO.
With the addition of VMware vShield into
vSecurity’s Control Center, customers will be able to set up and deploy VMware
vShield Security Groups to control network access between virtual machines in a
virtual data center.
Catbird’s TrustZones policy enforcer will include full VMware vShield controls
to help monitor and quarantine out-of-compliance assets, helping reduce the risk
of security breach and data loss. In addition, Catbird’s vCompliance will
include VMware vShield controls to measure against PCI, NIST, FISMA, DIACAP and
other compliance standards.
VMware embedded OEM partners are provided a
simple way to bundle VMware products into their solutions. Embedded OEM partners
benefit through resilience and efficient deployments, providing a one-stop-shop
solution for security and compliance protection in virtualized infrastructure.
Working with VMware, Catbird is also realizing significantly increased control
of virtualized deployments, tailored to its specific go-to-market and ongoing
post-sales support preferences.
“Embedding industry-leading VMware vShield
technology empowers companies such as Catbird to increase the value their
solutions provide to customers,” said Bernie Mills, senior director of embedded
OEM alliances at VMware. “By partnering with VMware, Catbird will also provide
customers with the levels of security and compliance required for
mission-critical applications in cloud-based and virtualized data centers.”
