According to a recent press release, “CloudPassage, the leading cloud security automation provider, today announced a partnership with Sumo Logic, the leading cloud-native, machine data analytics platform. Through this integration, IT Ops, DevOps, and security teams can share a comprehensive, real-time view of their security and compliance postures while rapidly detecting and containing attacks by correlating CloudPassage data with other data streams in Sumo Logic, including threat intelligence data. The partnership will provide an advanced security monitoring and closed-loop incident response solution for modern compute environments. CloudPassage® Halo® has been specifically designed to secure workloads in highly automated environments such as DevOps, CI/CD, containers, and public or private clouds. Sumo Logic can ingest security and compliance scans from CloudPassage and correlate the results with other sources such as threat intelligence, infrastructure and application data. The result is more complete situational awareness into security and compliance posture while removing blind spots.”

The release goes on, “‘We are thrilled to partner with Sumo Logic and provide users with better real-time visibility into their security and compliance postures than ever before,’ said Tim Colby, Vice President of Channel Sales, CloudPassage. ‘This integration will create an unparalleled ability to secure automated cloud workloads at any speed or scale.’ The emergence of public cloud and containers as enterprise-class platforms and the associated changes in infrastructure management, cybersecurity, and application development have stressed IT organizations as they try to keep pace. Both Sumo Logic and CloudPassage are purpose-built for the modern IT world where on-demand elasticity, scalability, resiliency, and speed are table stakes—and where traditional security, compliance and monitoring simply tools cannot function.”
