Security Risk Management company Skybox Security has launched what it calls the first automated virtual staging environment for network change assurance.
The product is called Skybox Assure, and allegedly allows organizations to predict the impact of network changes before implementing them without any fear of network disruption. It allows to organizations to test network changes while keeping critical information secure.
"Networking professionals have long needed a way to understand the impact of proposed network changes and policies without subjecting their live networks to unnecessary disruption," said Yankee Group analyst Phebe Waterfield. Skybox cites the following benefits of the product in a press release:
- A disciplined change management process where security controls can be understood and deployed safely within defined security policies.
- Maximize application availability while minimizing security risk exposure.
- Automate audit and policy compliance reporting.
- Eliminate the change trial and error process through a virtual staging environment without network disruption.
- Reduce IT workload by transforming change management from a labor-intensive, error-prone process to an automated, reliable and accurate process.
The cheapest this thing gets is $75,000, and gets more expensive the bigger the network infrastructure is. It is available immediately.
