Kaspersky Lab launches security offering for hybrid cloud visibility

Kaspersky Lab is expanding its virtualization and cloud security portfolio with the launch of its Hybrid Cloud Security offering. As the name suggests, the purpose of the solution is to secure hybrid clouds environments. It provides API-integration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. Hybrid cloud models have become an attractive option for organizations that want to adopt public cloud capabilities while maintaining their legacy infrastructure. Nevertheless, many organizations are wary of migrating their applications to the public cloud on account of the security risks it poses. According to a survey by Kaspersky Lab that consisted of feedback from 5,274 respondents, approximately 59% of businesses felt that outsourcing and cloud hosted services could introduce new risks to their IT security.
