Partnership to Secure Virtual and Cloud Environments

Enables Government Agencies to Maintain Consistent Security Policies Across Virtualized Data Center Infrastructure

Today, many government agencies are looking to new data center technologies, specifically virtual networking, resulting in highly dynamic and agile infrastructures. As evidenced by the release of the NIST Cloud Computing Roadmap in October, this shift has created the need for a new approach to improve IT security in these environments. To address these cybersecurity and compliance requirements, Catbird and immixGroup today (11/4/14) announced their partnership. Catbird’s cloud security and compliance solution will be included in immixGroup’s offering, enhancing their portfolio for government customers.

• Partnership rounds out immixGroup offerings – immixGroup provides comprehensive cybersecurity and cloud computing solutions to the public sector. Catbird augments their customers’ risk management strategies with the virtual network security needed to secure dynamic environments.
• Delivers consistent security policy – This partnership provides government agencies with an automated security policy solution, enabling IT to implement best practice network security controls and provide evidence and assurance of control for NIST, FISMA, FedRAMP, PCI and HIPAA.

• Contract vehicles in place – For government agencies and channel partners looking to secure existing or new virtualized environments, immixGroup will make Catbird’s commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software available via a number of contract vehicles, including GSA Schedule IT70, NASA SEWP IV, NETCENTS-2 and others.
