Our global customers gain additional levels of visibility and control for cloud applications and it enhances our portfolio of advanced cloud-delivered\u00a0security offerings,\u201d said Scott Harrell, vice president of product management, Cisco Security Business Group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to partner with\u00a0Elastica\u00a0to deliver an\u00a0even richer\u00a0portfolio of on\u2013premises and cloud application security to protect businesses across the attack continuum \u2013 before, during, and after an attack,\u201d Harrell said.<\/p>\n<p>The move is a big win for Elastica, a startup that existed stealth in early 2014 and just last month secured $30m in funding. Cisco will provide the security startup with a large and varied channel that spans both the enterprise and scale-out markets, while Cisco can plug a gap in its burgeoning cloud-centric portfolio (that said, it\u2019s possible the move is a precursor to an acquisition).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCIOs want to empower employees with advanced cloud apps that help enterprises stay agile, productive and competitive in the marketplace. The power of these cloud apps \u2013 information sharing and built-in\u00a0collaboration capabilities \u2013 also require a completely new approach to security,\u201d said Rehan Jalil, president and chief executive of\u00a0Elastica.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElastica\u2019s cloud app security technology, together with Cisco\u2019s broad security portfolio and footprint, will help us catalyze the safe and compliant use of cloud apps so that our customers can continue to securely make their businesses more agile and productive,\u201d Jalil said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Networking giant Cisco is teaming up with Elastica, a cloud security startup, in a move that will see the two firms combine their threat intelligence and cloud service monitoring technologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":105,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[665,2371,1976,2372,2373,1551],"tags":[773,118],"class_list":["post-13777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cisco","category-elastica","category-news-analysis","category-rehan-jalil","category-scott-harrell","category-shadow-it","tag-monitoring","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/105"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13777"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13777\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13778,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13777\/revisions\/13778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
