Catbird Insight

Discover, Visualize, Analyze

Catbird Insight automatically and continuously discovers all assets in your virtual fabric, allows the grouping of these assets into logical Catbird TrustZones® and visualizes asset relationships and the east-west traffic flows between them for improved analytics.

Deploying Catbird Insight provides you with the following instant benefits:

Real Time Inventory: You know exactly – in real time – all the assets that exist within your virtual fabric. A business unit within your organization just deployed a new VM? You’ll know about it instantly.
Logical Grouping: You can group assets into logical segments – which we call Catbird TrustZones - allowing you to structure your virtual fabric to support the needs of the business. You can group assets any way you want – by application, by application tier, by business unit, by compliance framework, etc.
Visualization: You can visualize the traffic flows between Catbird TrustZones. This detailed, real-time view of how traffic is flowing in and out of your logical groups is generated based on NetFlow traffic.
Analytics: You can slice and dice all information gathered by Catbird Insight. A powerful analytics capability allows you to look for misconfigurations, anomalies, and opportunities to tighten security policies.

Industry Recognition

Peter Stephenson, Technology Editor, SC Magazine
In the virtual world an organization might have thousands of virtual machines... The organization cannot manage them manually. That's where the Catbird solution comes to the rescue. Applying security policy uniformly and automatically in this environment is the challenge the company was formed to meet. Read Virtualization and cloud security: Innovators 2015

Dr. Edward Amoroso, Chief Security Officer, AT&T
"With runtime security virtualization, different assets that reside together in the same cloud can be associated with different security protections. Because providers can customize security, an object with a low-security risk might have light functional protections, whereas another object with high risk might include multiple, more intense security functions. Catbird provides a cloud security platform that includes virtual machine appliances that allow for customization of protection across different assets." Read Practical Methods for Securing the Cloud

"...one of our HPE Helion Ready partners, CatBird, caught my eye after certifying on HPE Helion OpenStack. When you can put a security policy wrapper around processes that span multiple clouds, that must be critical to ensuring compliance, whether PCI in retail or HIPAA in healthcare" Read Black Hat 2015 and Multi-Cloud Security.

"We found this product - as we have its sister product, Secure, in the past - a very nice tool with an innovative approach to managing security in a virtual data center. We also like that it can be deployed in many cloud environments without impacting the cloud community - while still protecting the organization deploying it."
