We’ve compiled a list of some of the more useful third-party tools available for managing your cloud services from the Amazon Elastic Cloud Computer (EC2) or other Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Israeli security company Dome9 provides a hosted firewall for protecting servers in both private or public clouds. It enables customers to lockdown SSH access or admin panels until they’re specifically opened via the web-based Dome9 console. Today the company released an iPhone app that will provide more convenient access to the console.

“We help you see what’s exposed on your public-facing infrastructure, and then we help you secure, step-by-step, in a self-service type of approach,” explained Zohar Alon, CEO & Co-Founder of Dome9 Security, in this SYS-CON.tv interview with Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan at the 10th International Cloud Expo, held June 11-14, 2012, at the Javits Center in New York City.

According to “The State of Adoption of Cloud Applications” a recent survey from Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) determined that overcoming the fear of security risks remains the key to adopting and benefiting from cloud applications.

If you’re like most today, you’re looking to the cloud with cautious optimism to help make your enterprise more efficient and agile. I say “cautious” concerns for security, cost, and complexity in the cloud run rampant. Will my infrastructure be more or less secure? How much will the cloud really save me? What do I have to do (or give up), and what will it get me? These are just a few of the questions you’re likely mulling over.

We all get by with a little help from our friends and when it comes to Dome9 (News – Alert), a revolutionary cloud security service provider, the company has recently expanded its circle of friends to include big names like HP and Newvem.

Newvem, the feisty Israeli startup that made waves by pointing out just how insecure (or badly configured) many customers’ Amazon cloud instances are, is taking steps to remedy that situation… Now, Newvem has called in reinforcements, in the form of Dome9, a security SaaS provider that closes cloud service ports to harden EC2 instances. The two companies are partnering to make it easier for customers to bolster the security of their EC2 cloud instances.

“Cloud” is one of the most over used and least understood words in technology these days, so it’s little surprise that there’s so much confusion about its security. Popular ideas, right or wrong, can gain traction and become accepted truths, so to provide a little clarity we set out to test some of these theories, just like the popular show “Myth Busters,” here in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Under an agreement with HP, Dome9′s cloud security service integrates with HP Cloud Services out-of-the-box. The two services offer integration via an agent or API, for flexibility and ease of use for cloud security. Customers simply enter their HP Cloud Services API key or install the lightweight Dome9 agent.

Nearly 40 service providers have announced support for HP Cloud on Thursday, including storage providers Gladinet and StorSimple, as well as server security provider Dome9.

Today there are more than 30 million cloud and virtual private servers in use, and most are vulnerable to attack because their built-in security stacks such as the host firewall are too difficult to manage. Dome9 makes cloud server security manageable by delivering a GUI-based firewall management service to secure an unlimited number of Windows and Linux servers in any virtual private, cloud, collocated, and hosted environment.

Cloud security firewall provider Dome9 Security announced on Wednesday the availability of Dome9 Instant Access for Google Chrome, a new browser-based application that allows one-click secure access to any server and any cloud for Google Chrome users.

A decade ago, investors funded projects. Today, venture capital funds scaling up already successful companies. This shift isn’t just because VCs have become more rational in their investments. Plenty of startups just don’t go looking for cash. The main reason startups can postpone or turn down VC money is cloud computing and SaaS.

“One of the greatest challenges to security in the cloud is management,” noted David Meizlik, Vice President of Marketing at Dome9 Security, in this exclusive Q&A with Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan. “With cloud computing,” Meizlik explained, “the infrastructure is owned and maintained by a third party, so you can’t just walk down the hall to get to your infrastructure.”

We all know that while cloud computing offers significant benefits, security and protecting private data are the main concern for organizations considering moving to the cloud. Yet, the front-line defense – the cloud server firewall – often goes unused or is misused, resulting in a significant security threat.

Security is the number one concern of information owners with regards to cloud adoption. Dave Meizlik of Dome9 and I talk about a new perspective on security that can span both your cloud and on-premise efforts with a “closed until you need otherwise” approach.

With the New Year having rolled in, you’ve probably had your fill of ‘This is the year of (pick your technology, fill in the blank)’ predictions. After all, for how many years now have we heard, ‘This is the year for cloud computing?’ While there’s no doubt that the wave of cloud computing continues to swell, real-world IT organizations are clearly not as quick to jump aboard as prognosticators. That’s because there are a lot of unknown aspects of the cloud, and security is chief among them.
