If you’re in the business of protecting workloads in the cloud, you know how fast things move—and how critical it is to stay a few steps ahead. That’s why we’re excited to roll out CloudArmour 1.0R5, packed with new capabilities designed to close more gaps, act faster, and give you deeper visibility into what’s happening in your environment.
Intrusion Prevention Virtual Patching: Your Emergency Security Lifeline
Virtual patching is a method of shielding vulnerable systems without touching their underlying code. Instead of updating the software, it blocks exploit attempts at the network or host layer. Sometimes, you just can’t patch right away. Maybe the system is critical to operations, maybe the vendor hasn’t issued a fix, or maybe the upgrade path is too risky for now. But attackers don’t wait, and known vulnerabilities are easy targets. That’s where virtual patching steps in—as a critical stopgap.
CloudArmour now delivers intrusion prevention with virtual patching, automatically identifying known vulnerabilities and dynamically blocking attempts to exploit them—whether they’re coming through exploit payloads, known CVEs, or suspicious scanning behavior. It brings immediate protection that guards against high-risk and zero-day attacks before official patches arrive.
Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP): Security That Lives Inside Your Apps
RASP secures applications from the inside out by monitoring and reacting to threats in real time as the app runs. It moves beyond traditional request analysis to understand what’s really happening in your code. Modern attacks often bypass traditional perimeter defenses. Customers are looking for security that’s baked in, not bolted on. And when applications are in production, security needs to be both real-time and adaptable.
We’re introducing runtime injection, allowing admins to embed protection into apps post-launch. Combined with real-time behavior monitoring, allowlist support, and custom response actions, CloudArmour RASP can stop logic-based and zero-day attacks right as they happen, thus allowing for real-time blocking and in-app visibility.
Enhanced Integration with Hillstone OpenXDR Platform: The Command Center Revolution
OpenXDR is Hillstone’s centralized security operations platform that unifies visibility across EDR, NDR, and other detection tools. The more integrated your tools are with it, the faster you can investigate and respond. Previously, CloudArmour only connected to OpenXDR for SSO purposes. That meant limited correlation, no host-level visibility, and no coordinated response. But that’s changing now.
We’ve expanded the integration to include host asset sync, threat intelligence sharing, and automated remote response in CloudArmour 1.0R5. Now the integration provides unified security context, one-click remediation, and streamlined operations.
With CloudArmour 1.0R5, we’re pushing runtime protection to the next level. Whether it’s shielding unpatched systems, embedding intelligence into your applications, or tightening the loop between detection and response, this release is all about being proactive, not reactive.
