NewPush: Driving Business through Reliable Cloud Technology

Cloud computing has emerged as the battle cry for global businesses, and the widening cybersecurity threat is accelerating the process. As more cyberattacks today are executed as a well-planned software projects, there is a rising concern among the businesses about the security of their data on premises and beyond their corporate perimeter. More businesses today aim to extend their in-house security and compliance policies to their cloud implementations. As a versatile cloud platform, VMware excels as the recourse for companies to easily replicate their on-premises security compliance measures across their cloud infrastructure, enabling them to quell cyberattacks and embrace cloud with confidence. We sat down to discuss some of these challenges with the leaders of NewPush, a VMware partner leveraging VMware’s technologies. NewPush is scripting greater cloud success stories by offering intuitive SaaS security offerings that become a natural extension of VMware capabilities. “We notice that businesses that can operate their cloud environments within their specification, are more comfortable with their security posture, which is a game changer,” notes Balazs Nagy, CTO of NewPush.

Citing the incidences such as Wikileaks and Panama paper leaks, René Sotola, CEO, NewPush highlights that “While most companies focus on external threats, internal threats are just as important and need to be dealt with effectively.” This pressing need to better manage the identity in an enterprise gives natural rise to extend limited on-premises Identity Management solutions. Being able to manage Identity Governance Risk and Compliance (iGRC) across applications, and across locations (on premise or in the cloud) provides a relieve to teams tasked with the security in the enterprise. As a result, NewPush’s iGRC as a SaaS service—in partnership with Brainwave—provides a safety net as well as opportunities to reduce operational costs. “Customers can leverage our Identity Management offering to turn their security compliance into a competitive advantage.”

Sotola points out that an IT system is only as secure as its weakest point (software vulnerability). While businesses, across sizes, focus on the security and compliance of their network and server implementations, they often overlook the open source software stack—what he terms as the Bill of Materials (BOM)—in their infrastructure.
