Dome9 Releases New Android App for Secure Enterprise Access to Cloud Servers

MENLO PARK, Calif., March 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Dome9, the leading provider of SaaS-based security and compliance solutions for public and hybrid cloud infrastructure, today released a mobile app for Android-based devices to bolster the security of enterprise IaaS cloud services. The app enables enterprises with large cloud networks and complex firewalls and security groups policies, to reduce unintended exposure to cloud assets, and safeguard them from breach by enabling time-bound on-demand access for IT professionals and employees to cloud servers and services.

"Enterprises running mission-critical apps such as BI or ERP in the cloud face undue risk by leaving internet-facing services open to the entire world for remote access thereby exposing themselves to brute force attacks and OS and application vulnerabilities," said Roy Feintuch, CTO of Dome9. "The Dome9 Instant Access app changes that by allowing enterprises to setup granular role-based access for users to cloud infrastructure elements from the convenience of their Android phone or tablet. It's easy to use for end-users and minimizes the attack surface for the organization."

The new Android app leverages a patent-pending Dome9 security control called Dynamic Access Leases, which has proven to be instrumental in helping enterprise IT security teams deal with the issue of cloud server access control in a much more manageable way than ever before. Administrators and IT professionals leave at-risk ports closed by default, and with the app, employees self-request and gain access to any service or server across cloud platforms, with a click of a button on their Android devices. The access leases capability is also available for customers via the Dome9 web-based console, for the Google Chrome browser via an extension plug-in and via a mobile app for iPhones.

Guy Denney, CTO of Uturn Data Solutions, a Chicago-based Amazon Web Services Partner and Cloud Consultancy gave the Dome9 Instant Access mobile app 2 thumbs up. "Our customers are big Fortune 500 firms with mission-critical applications running in the cloud and a large mobile workforce that needs to securely access these applications. Dome9 has been great in helping us keep those cloud operations safe, and we look forward to extending that protective cover with the new Android app."

The Android app is available immediately for free download from the Google Play Store.
