Symphony Technology Group has launched Skyhigh Security to address the growing cloud security requirements for large and small organisations.
Skyhigh Security’s approach extends security beyond data access to securing how the data is used. Designed for the modern workforce, its data-aware Security Service Edge (SSE) provides security that follows data and users, wherever they are.
“With the majority of data in the cloud and users accessing it from everywhere, a new approach to security is needed,” says Gee Rittenhouse, Skyhigh Security’s CEO.
He adds: “Skyhigh Security has created a comprehensive security platform to secure both data access and data use via unified policies and data awareness. Organisations can now have complete visibility and control and seamlessly monitor and mitigate security risks—achieving lower associated costs, driving greater efficiencies and keeping pace with the speed of innovation.”
The Skyhigh Security SSE Portfolio includes Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Zero Trust Access Network (ZTNA), Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Remote Browser Isolation technology, Cloud Firewall and Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP).
Earlier this year, STG announced it would be splitting McAfee Enterprise into two organisations—Trellix and Skyhigh Security—to better focus on the very distinct markets of Extended Detection and Response and the Security Service Edge (SSE).

“Skyhigh Security has emerged as a dedicated cloud security company laser-focused on propelling businesses forward with a comprehensive and converged approach to data security. We’re committed to investing in this business, which is in one of the most important markets in security, SSE,” says William Chisholm, managing partner, STG.
