Starting July 24, CloudPassage will extend its SaaS Halo cloud server security to cloud servers running Windows in public and hybrid cloud environments.
The company found in a recent survey that 74% of cloud users are running a mix of both Windows and Linux servers in the cloud.
It estimates that Windows servers, which are exposed to exploits such as the recent RDP vulnerabilities announced by Microsoft, make up more than 40% of the public IaaS market. Halo guards against attacks in the cloud and protects RDP and other sensitive services, while automating other Windows cloud server security tasks.
