RedLock by Palo Alto Networks is a great choice for organizations look for a compliance and security assurance tool for public cloud workloads, running on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
RedLock became part of Palo Alto Networks in late 2018, which will end up yielding numerous benefits for users. There is always concern whenever a company gets acquired about what will happen to technology. Yet in the RedLock case, the publicly stated plan is to integrate it with additional cloud workload protection capabilities from Palo Alto Network’s Evident product line. The end result should be a stronger, broader offering before the end of 2019.
Even before that new integrated product debuts, RedLock is a strong offering that can stand on its own merits. A key differentiator for the platform is the ability to conduct threat investigations across cloud workload deployments to help identify and remediate threats. Machine learning and artificial intelligence in the RedLock platform is also noteworthy, as it helps security professionals to correlate multiple factors to create context for cloud workload security.
