CloudCheckr Launches “CloudCheckr Cost and Security Management” in AWS Marketplace

ROCHESTER, N.Y.--()--CloudCheckr is proud to announce a new Amazon Machine Image (AMI) of CloudCheckr Cost and Security Management, available today in Amazon Web Services Marketplace (AWS Marketplace). Security and data privacy considerations within enterprise and public sector organizations often make Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) models unrealistic. These organizations recognize the benefits of using AWS but sometimes struggle with the intricacies of 3rd party data access. The CloudCheckr AMI provides all of the capabilities in a self-hosted environment which solves the data privacy and security concerns.

This self-hosted version of their award-winning software provides visibility for cost management, security, and governance within and across a customer’s entire AWS environment. Customers may realize up to a 30% cost savings by having insight into utilization and better planning reserved instances. Users can now rely on CloudCheckr to help them scale their GRC (governance, risk and compliance) capabilities as they scale their environments. With CloudCheckr, customers gain a deeper understanding of their exposure and quickly mitigate risks.

The CloudCheckr AMI allows CloudCheckr to run in a customer’s AWS account within their own virtual private cloud (VPC) on a single Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance. It can be deployed in various sized Amazon EC2 instances to accommodate small, medium, large, and enterprise-class environments. The self-hosted version communicates directly with the AWS API. It does not communicate with CloudCheckr’s network and user data does not leave the user’s environment.

Bart Van Hecke from Cloudar, an Advanced Consulting Partner in the AWS Partner Network (APN) echoed the sentiments: “We chose CloudCheckr because the solution had everything we needed. We can easily view our resource usage for a specific period in time…. and many more best practices you use to help you to secure and optimise our AWS environment."

“CloudCheckr Cost and Security Management is a leading monitoring and security offering which all types of organizations depend on to make informed decisions around their AWS environments,” said Barry Russell, Head of Global Business Development, AWS Marketplace, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “Our customers want easy-to-use software like CloudCheckr Cost and Security Management that is available for immediate purchase and deployment from AWS Marketplace. The offering is an excellent option for industries and verticals that have industry-specific compliance requirements.”
