The primary solution from CloudPassage is a technology called Halo, an automation platform for the delivery of security and control across public and private clouds. Sweet said the platform includes a number of modules including network access control, two-factor authentication, intrusion detection, configuration and path monitoring, and end-user management.
The Halo system has a central cloud-based analytics engine service. From a device perspective, CloudPassage gets its control by way of a lightweight application called the Halo daemon. The Halo daemon sends information into the analytics cloud and responds to requests from the cloud service.
