FireEye on Tuesday announced that it has acquired Cloudvisory, a Dallas, Texas-based provider of tools for cloud visibility, security, and policy management.
Founded in 2013, Cloudvisory's platform provides continuous visibility, compliance, and security policy governance solutions for cloud, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud environments.
According to FireEye, the acquisition will add cloud workload security capabilities to FireEye Helix and provide customers with an integrated security operations platform for cloud and container security.
By integrating the Cloudvisory Security Platform with Helix, FireEye says that the expanded offering will help customers assess configurations against compliance standards and best practices, deliver ongoing monitoring of environments, and report on non-compliant actions that could increase risk.
"The addition of Cloudvisory fits the previous FireEye Security Suite like a missing puzzle piece, complementing its detection capabilities with additional visibility, reporting, and active policy enforcement tools for the cloud-enabled enterprise," Martin Holste, Senior Manager, Cloud Security and CTO at FireEye, noted in an associated blog post.
