Catbird Raises $10M To Help Secure The Virtual Nature Of The Data Center
Summary
Catbird’s virtualized approach manages the hypervisor, using software to define security parameters. In the old world of physical servers and appliances, companies used security that protected the perimeter of the network. Catbird uses its software-based approach to bake in the security so it is part of the provisioning and managing of the infrastructure. Traditional network security sits on the perimeter but without the capability to manage the virtualized assets that a company has. Competitors are Cisco Systems and other more traditional networking providers such as Checkpoint and Tipping Point.
