Understand your estate with Cloudhouse Guardian

Find and fix compliance and change management issues

Whether you’re looking to get visibility across your IT infrastructure, or automate systems compliance, Cloudhouse Guardian is a fully integrated platform that is up-to-date and constantly improved.

Formerly UpGuard Core, Cloudhouse Guardian helps you find out what you have in your estate, identify what’s out of date and non-compliant and automatically achieve compliance by getting to best practice configuration.

You can then resolve incompatible applications using Cloudhouse’s core packaging solution, with Cloudhouse Guardian continuing to monitor changes that have happened to trap configuration drift.

Cloudhouse Guardian has been successfully implemented in more than 50 major enterprises globally including NASA, Rackspace, NYSE, AT&T, IAG and Akamai.

Misconfiguration Detection

Cloudhouse Guardian catches misconfigurations across every type of device and digital asset, automatically checking them against your expectations so that discrepancies are quickly surfaced for remediation. Guardian filters signal from noise based on your priorities, so that unimportant changes don’t overwhelm the ones that really matter.

Drift Management

Cloudhouse Guardian stores the total configuration state of every node, making it easy to compare systems and environments, or see how a single system has changed over time. Discover cluster consensus with a single click, and have the differences visualised for rapid troubleshooting down to the line level of a configuration file.

Custom Policies

With Cloudhouse Guardian policies, document your expectations and execute them against your environment to see how well it complies. Guardian comes preloaded with policies for the Center for Internet Security’s 20 critical security controls, satisfying many aspects of regulatory requirements like PCI and SOX. Create a policy from an existing system with a few clicks and apply it against similar systems in minutes.

Hardening Benchmarks

Benchmarks from the Center for Internet Security (CIS) offer an established standard for testing foundational security measures. Guardian offers the capability to execute CIS policies on a user-defined schedule and includes a range of options for omitting, modifying, and supplementing the tests included in the benchmarks as published by CIS.
