Overview

For large-enterprise security and compliance organizations that must protect agile environments, Halo is the only workload security platform that offers efficient, effective and flexible security assurance by providing automated orchestration of broad security controls any, at any scale, on demand.

Halo’s architecture combines elastic cloud compute and big-data technology into a platform purpose built for security computing; this means workloads don’t have to sacrifice compute power and everything is centralized.

Instead of functionality being hard-coded into agents, Halo uses “dissolvable code,” meaning the platform literally writes the code each agent needs as it’s needed; this makes the platform extremely flexible and minimizes agent maintenance.

The entire platform is environmentally agnostic and uses an HTTPS-based asynchronous messaging protocol; these factors mean Halo agents can run anywhere that they can get an HTTPS connection to the platform.

Halo provides instant visibility and continuous protection through a single, easy-to-use interface. Delivered as a service, Halo deploys in minutes and scales dynamically.to solve four major challenges:

1) Visibility: Within seconds of deploying Halo, security teams gain full visibility into their every server within their entire infrastructure. Halo makes it faster and easier to not only discover vulnerabilities, policy violations, and potential compromises, but also secure these critical assets.

2) Speed: Halo bakes automated security right into the development process to ensure that all workloads are protected from the start. By automating security, Halo enables businesses to safely and securely keep up with the speed of modern development and DevOps.

3) Segmentation: Halo protects against east-west traffic and lateral movement of threats by reducing the attack surface through micro-segmentation, host firewall orchestration, traffic discovery, and layered protection at every workload.

4) Compliance: Halo replaces manual processes with full automation so security teams can track and prove the security posture of all assets in scope of regulations within seconds.
