Dome9 provides the first-ever cloud firewall management service for automated and elastic security. Centrally manage security policies for your cloud servers. Any OS, any server, any cloud, from anywhere!

Dome9 Security brings a new way to manage the security of your servers utilising cloud based services. A small client side (or server side depending on how you view the terminology) piece of software is installed on the server. This then allows you to manage the security of your servers from a single web interface.

Some system admins have expressed concerns about installing third party software on there server. However this is no different to installing a software based firewall or third party anti-virus.

What are your thoughts? Please let us know in the comments.
