Araali Networks Inc., a risk mitigation solution solving security challenges across the cloud, today announced the general availability of Araali Shield. Recognized as an RSA Innovation Sandbox finalist for helping cloud-native organizations secure their customers’ data to proactively prevent and block any threats during runtime, Araali’s Shield technology integrates into existing DevOps processes and provides a critical defense layer against modern cyber attacks.
Araali identifies and analyses cloud runtime risks (IAM, vulnerabilities, unused open ports, container privileges, file integrity, etc.), prioritizing risks with mitigation workflows, and shielding assets to reduce exposure. It creates passwordless least privilege controls around data access for any cloud, proactively blocking any threats and backdoor attempts. It also reduces risk by creating a shield around applications so that they are unexploitable, which proactively mitigates risks and reduces the likelihood of exploitation and the possibility of data loss.
“Cloud misconfiguration and vulnerabilities have been the top reason for cloud breaches for the last two years, creating an easy path for hackers to get in. While enterprises increasingly move to the cloud and spend more on Infosec, they have trouble reducing breaches while the costs to do so are rising,” said Abhishek Singh, Co-Founder and CEO of Araali Networks. “In simple terms, Araali guarantees three things: your workloads will not talk to intruders, it will not misbehave under the influence of intruders, and the intruders will have no privilege to leak your data. An excellent security position. We are thrilled to have been recognized by RSA as an Innovation Sandbox finalist for this novel approach to cloud security that builds proactive defense capabilities rather than playing catch-up on vulnerabilities.”

Araali allows cyber risks to be remediated surgically. It deploys with a single command, uses super optimized eBPF-based enforcers that provide enterprise-grade security with performance, and uses patented technology to create an identity-based runtime graph in a deterministic way. Identity and deterministic traits allow Araali to create a stable baseline of application communication, which allows it to easily spot behavior drift and the establishment of backdoors, a hallmark of modern attacks. Araali dynamically creates a normalized identity for services and a consistent view of how they interact with each other, versus frequently changing network-based parameters that lead to false positives and false negatives. Araali is helping organizations bring their own self-configuring, identity-centric controls to the cloud and modernizing cloud security in the process
