CloudPassage has developed a security platform that protects virtual cloud servers and the apps running on top of them, while being easy for regular employees to manage. The company's founding team, consisting of security experts with decades of experience, aimed to automate various security measures such as intrusion detection, host scanning, firewalls, and multi-factor authentication. CloudPassage chose Twilio as its SMS provider due to its ease of integration, scalability, and global reach. The development of the two-factor authentication service was made possible by Twilio's API and documentation, allowing CloudPassage's developers to build a reliable and user-friendly solution that has been deployed in over a dozen major geographies since its launch in 2012. This service offers faster and easier security for customers, enabling them to secure their cloud servers in just ten minutes.
