Let me try and help with that:
FortyCloud is a Cloud Infrastructure Security Broker providing an abstract security layer that is easy to control and configure and is not limited to specific cloud platform. The FortyCloud solution encompasses a variety of security elements including remote VPN access, encryption of data in transit, firewall policy and automation, access control and real-time monitoring.
So, in other words, they'll rent your cloud resources for you, and mange all your keys and everything.
Great, so now they can alert you if any of "your" they are managing is compromised. But who'll alert you if their account is compromised?
Way to much trouble to put all your eggs on the same basket. It would be simpler to just get locked-in in a single cloud provider, and cut the middle men.
Not exactly. No need to share with us any keys etc.
Even if you choose to be "locked-in" into a single cloud provider you may have security challenges, like: working with multiple regions, enforcing access control policies that are inline with your AD etc.
The Cloud Infrastructure Security Broker can help you address those challenges in a very effective way.
