A year-old Silicon Valley SaaS start-up called CloudPassages broke cover Wednesday claiming that it can do what other security companies have failed to do and that’s protect elastic cloud servers.

It’ll get off the ground by offering its base technology for free.

The company’s purpose-built widgetry is supposed to work with anybody’s cloud – public or hybrid – and anybody’s virtualization. It says hypervisors are irrelevant.

Currently it works on Linux servers – any Linux server; Windows servers should follow by the end of the year.

It’s been quietly in production with its “elastic platform for cloud server security management” for the last three months and has 15 companies including FourSquare and StrongMail using it.

It says it can also protect physical servers that aren’t in the cloud but it’s focused on cloud servers that are expected to scale. It says they have to be “self-protecting and autonomous to survive the higher exposure level to threats and vulnerabilities.”
