The addition of Google Apps support extends the breadth of coverage for Palerra–s LORIC Platform, which provides security and governance across cloud applications as well as infrastructure such as AWS.
“Google Apps has seen hyper growth with over five million companies using Google–s industry leading collaboration and productivity suite. While Google provides best-in-class security for their hosting infrastructure, it is the responsibility of the organization that uses Google Apps to be aware of access and usage of any sensitive corporate data stored within these applications,” said Rohit Gupta, co-founder and CEO of Palerra. “Recent high-profile attacks such as those at the Office of Personnel Management necessitate monitoring for unauthorized access and inappropriate usage of data. Compliance driven organizations have a further requirement to continually assess, audit and attest to standard & anomalous activity, sharing of corporate assets and other violations in their Google Apps services. LORIC for Google Apps addresses this need and additionally provides incident response by immediately logging and remediating threats, which is key to closing any windows of opportunity for insiders or hackers.”
