(firmenpresse) - SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 12/11/14 -- Palerra, the cloud security automation company, announced today that it is partnering with to add a layer of security to the company's suite of cloud services. The partnership with Microsoft follows Palerra's inclusion in the Microsoft Office 365 Independent Software Vendor showcase as the first cloud security vendor to participate.

LORIC™ from Palerra is the only solution that allows enterprises to automate security configuration management, threat detection, predictive analytics and incident response for their entire cloud footprint. This single, powerful platform delivers comprehensive threat visibility and ensures continuous compliance, addressing the gap in existing enterprise security with the accelerating adoption of cloud services. LORIC will enable enterprises to embrace Office 365 -- the cloud version of Microsoft's leading productivity suite, Microsoft Office -- and balance their business-critical productivity with their security needs.
"As proven by recent high-profile security breaches, the market is facing a gap in security as enterprises increasingly adopt cloud services while the threat landscape intensifies," said Rohit Gupta, founder and CEO of Palerra. "The recent launch of our unique cloud security automation platform, LORIC, aims to tackle this market gap so enterprises don't have to make security compromises when embracing productivity. As such, we're thrilled to be partnering with Microsoft, the market leader in enterprise productivity tools, to provide their global customer base with greater assurance as they embrace the cloud."
LORIC is not deployed inline and unobtrusively monitors activity and detects threats at the source of the data. It does not require hardware, software, or agents making deployment and operation a breeze.
LORIC for Microsoft Office 365 cloud offers the following key features:
Automated monitoring and enforcement of security configurations across all Office 365 services.
Evaluates deviations from normal user behavior, suspicious locations and non-compliant Office 365 security configurations.
Identifies suspicious administrator actions that could potentially create backdoors.
Identifies existing threats across your entire cloud footprint using a variety of threat vectors including deviations from normal user behavior, Office 365 application behavior and traffic from suspicious locations.
Performs real-time threat modeling using non-linear machine learning algorithms to automatically correlate hundreds of threat vectors including IP reputation, action velocity, and anomalous behavior providing a concise summary of potential threats to Office 365 cloud services.
Automatically generates incident tickets for threat events and resolves incidents through built-in capabilities or by integrating with existing enterprise applications or change management processes.
Enables user level policies, reports, and remediation for granular visibility and control.
"Office 365's open APIs allow partners to extend the Office 365 experience and deliver even more value to our customers," said Arpan Shah, senior director of product management for Office 365 at Microsoft. "We are excited to see Palerra extend Office 365 and deliver a solution which will offer customers single pane of glass visibility and continuous automated monitoring across Office 365.
