Beginning immediately, customers can subscribe to Alert Logic Threat Manager and Alert Logic ActiveWatch for Amazon EC2 directly from Alert Logic. Threat Manager gives customers the ability to add vulnerability assessment and intrusion detection to their infrastructure running on the AWS platform. Alert Logic Threat Manager provides subscribers the ability to automatically aggregate and correlate anomalous behavior patterns to quickly identify threats and attacks to their network by leveraging Alert Logic's patented expert system, which includes 7-Factor Threat Scenario Modeling, purpose-built grid computing infrastructure and API-driven provisioning capabilities.
