Laminar Announces AWS Built-in Solution for Data Security
Here is a little IT news. A start up I’ve not heard about before, Laminar, has built a data security platform working with the large cloud providers. It has recently published two announcements.
The first announcement reveals it has worked with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to complete an AWS built-in co-build solution that automatically installs, configures, and integrates with native AWS Cloud Foundational Services across multiple domains such as identity, security, and operations.
Laminar is a member of the AWS Partner Network (APN) that built their software solution to include foundational AWS services like AWS CloudTrail, AWS Control Tower, and AWS Organizations to decrease risk, reduce operational overhead, and provide consistent observability in cloud environments. Utilizing a well-architected Modular Code Repository (MCR) that is both validated by AWS and designed specifically to add value to a partner solution, Laminar is equipped to help customers achieve their goals for scale, simplicity, and cost savings.
“By utilizing an AWS built-in co-build solution with the Laminar Data Security Platform, organizations will be able to gain the visibility and control needed to continue cloud data growth across AWS services while keeping it protected,” said Amit Shaked, CEO and co-founder, Laminar.
Laminar’s AWS built-in solution comes built in with AWS CloudTrail, making it easier for customers to discover, classify, secure, and monitor their sensitive data in the cloud. By processing CloudTrail logs, Laminar provides automated data detection and response (DDR) – alerting customers to real-time threats to their data and streamlining quick remediation. Laminar also helps identify the root cause of the data threat with event timelines and data access flowcharts.
The news is the latest development in Laminar’s deepening relationship with AWS. The company was also selected to be a launch partner for Amazon Security Lake at AWS re:Invent last November. Furthermore, Laminar’s platform was the first pure-play data security posture management (DSPM) to be named an AWS Security Competency Partner in the new Data Protection category, and has received the Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) Ready Product Designation.
Laminar Announced as Launch Partner for Wiz Integration (WIN) Platform
Laminar announces its partnership with leading cloud security provider, Wiz as the company unveils Wiz Integration (WIN) Platform. Laminar, hand selected as a launch partner, brings the power of the Laminar Data Security Platform to WIN, to improve customer understanding of how cloud vulnerabilities may put their sensitive data at risk.
The integration between Wiz and Laminar optimizes the value of both platforms while enabling organizations to more efficiently and effectively secure their public cloud environments. With this integration, data security teams can use the Laminar Platform to secure overexposed and unprotected data, remediate misplaced data, and delete any redundant, obsolete, or trivial (ROT) data — which ultimately ensures a more secure, hygienic data environment that meets compliance requirements. Pairing all of this data security posture with the Wiz platform allows cloud security teams to better understand how to prioritize cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities.
WIN enables Wiz and Laminar to share prioritized security findings with context including inventory, vulnerabilities, issues, and configuration findings. Mutual customers receive the following benefits:
- Prevent Sensitive Data Exposure – Laminar enriches Wiz with a layer of data context that gives organizations additional visibility into the full impact of each attack path and issues.
- Ruthless Prioritization – In collaboration with Laminar, Wiz enables infrastructure security teams to focus on issues that impact highly sensitive data first.
- Streamline Collaboration and Remediation Workflows – With the joint solution, data security and infrastructure teams share data with a common view to contain and remediate risk faster.
WIN is designed to enable a cloud security operating model where security and cloud teams work collaboratively to understand and control risks across their CI/CD pipeline. Wiz is setting the industry standard in integrated solution strategy to maximize operational capabilities of organizations with partners like Laminar in WIN.
