Vendors benefit from Google Cloud and Teamwork Commerce’s collaboration!

Posted on by admin

Teamwork Commerce, a marketing software company based in the United States, has teamed up with Google Cloud to provide customers with a seamless buying experience. They have joined together to build a business-level platform, as part of the agreement. On Teamwork’s new point-of-sale (POS) Pro platform, this will be offered to all customers. Teamwork Commerce and Google hope to assist marketers in overcoming post-epidemic issues and providing a consistent and effective consumer experience while adhering to all applicable laws.

Google’s BigQuery server, which does not require a server, as well as Cloud Composer, a fully managed data flow service, and its business enterprise Locker service, are used for team collaboration.  Vendors can use these solutions to evaluate big data and get business information.

They can also use BigQuery ML and Vertex AI to do predictable analysis and solve forecasting demands related to product distribution and refilling, variety editing, and other characteristics using machine learning (ML) models.

The alliance intends to assist traders in capturing omnichannel revenue growth by enhancing sales and obtaining cellular trading capabilities.

The company has previously used Google’s Kubernetes Engine to help shops cope with the spike in e-commerce users over the holiday season.

Kubernetes, according to the firm, has prevented system overload for its stores and allowed customers to effortlessly check gift card balances, place orders, and conduct other tasks.

Mitiga Launched Cloud Incident Readiness and Response Solution for Ransomware Attacks

Posted on by admin

Mitiga, a cloud incident management firm, announced the launch of the first Ransomware Readiness solution for the cloud, which aims to improve ransomware protection. This technology and services solution allows businesses to improve their cloud ransomware readiness and resilience, as well as respond and recover quickly when attacks occur.

Ransomware attacks are on the rise around the world, and they’re becoming more complex as cybercriminals adapt to defensive tactics. Attackers encrypt and erase backups, exfiltrate and sell information, and even sell access to vulnerable systems. Because of this growing complexity, ransomware discussions necessitate a thorough investigation to identify the scale of the attack, the optimal response, and how to prevent perpetrators from repeating the attack.

Mitiga built Ransomware Readiness in response to this increasing threat, based on studies on cloud service providers, including how data is accessed, stored, and encrypted. Ransomware Readiness assists businesses in better preparing for and responding to ransomware attacks in cloud settings, allowing for quicker recovery and a faster return to business as normal. Clients can be certain that if cybercriminals attack their critical cloud services, incident response and investigation may begin in hours, not days, thanks to Ransomware Readiness.

“As with all cybersecurity threats, ransomware has become more sophisticated over the last two decades. And as more and more companies migrate to the cloud, it becomes increasingly complex for them to navigate today’s dangerous threat landscape,” said Ariel Parnes, Mitiga Co-Founder and COO.

It’s critical to swiftly analyse the magnitude of a ransomware attack so that executive teams may make informed decisions and handle any associated risks, such as informing regulatory authorities, clients, and the general public if necessary.

Making those judgments without enough knowledge makes it difficult to keep the trust of the board of directors, shareholders, and clients, and may result in expensive ransomware payments and notifications. Giving leadership teams the information and response experience they need to make timely choices through readiness exercises can make the difference between a small event and a crisis.

Cado Security Partners with SentinelOne to Provide Cloud-Native Digital Forensics

Posted on by admin

Cado Security, provider of cloud-native digital forensics platform, has partnered with SentinelOne, an autonomous cybersecurity platform, to offer security teams with the breadth and depth they need to detect, analyse and respond to attacks with extraordinary speed.

Time is of the essence when it comes to attack management. As soon as malicious behaviour is noticed, security professionals must be able to dig deep to identify the root cause and scope. The SentinelOne Singularity XDR Platform gives the necessary visibility to identify the malicious activity as soon as it happens. Cado Response automates the process of obtaining critical forensic data and historical context, which gives an inquiry more depth.

“Using traditional DFIR approaches often means it can take security teams weeks to capture and process the data needed for a detailed forensic investigation. This is precious time that an adversary has free rein to inflict damage,” said James Campbell, Co-founder and CEO of Cado Security. “At Cado, we leverage the cloud in a way that allows for automation and rapid processing, removing many of the complexities associated with DFIR. We are thrilled to partner with SentinelOne to deliver the data and context security teams need to quickly identify the root cause of incidents and enable faster response.”

Security analysts can always use SentinelOne’s Remote Script Orchestration (RSO) functionality to run Cado Response in a single click to execute an in-depth forensic investigation across their SentinelOne Singularity Platform-protected endpoints, simplifying data collecting and speeding up triage. The Cado Response platform is built on a cloud-based system that scales up and down dynamically to deliver fast processing when it’s required and save money when it’s not, substantially lowering time to evidence and time to response.

“Our focus is to empower security teams to uplevel their approach to incident response and automation with speed, scale and simplicity. Cado Security’s integration with SentinelOne’s Singularity XDR enables security analysts to automate forensics investigations across the enterprise attack surface,” said Mike Petronaci, VP Product, Platform and Ecosystem, SentinelOne.

CrowdStrike Acquires SecureCircle to Extend Zero Trust Data Protection

Posted on by admin

CrowdStrike Holdings, a leading company in cloud-delivered endpoint and workload protection, announced the acquisition of SecureCircle, a SaaS-based cybersecurity service that extends Zero Trust security to endpoint data. CrowdStrike will strengthen its leading Zero Trust endpoint security device and identity capabilities to incorporate data with this takeover. The all-cash deal is expected to complete in the fourth quarter of CrowdStrike’s fiscal year.

By securing the hub of enterprise risk — the endpoint – CrowdStrike has transformed security for the cloud era. CrowdStrike will enhance data protection with SecureCircle’s technology, allowing customers to implement Zero Trust at the device, identity, and data levels. CrowdStrike intends to resolve complex problem that all organisations face, data protection, with a simple solution – enforcing Zero Trust control at multiple levels, all deployed through CrowdStrike’s lightweight Falcon agent on the endpoint – by combining forces and leveraging SecureCircle’s innovative capabilities.

Zero Trust Data Protection Reimagined

In 2021, the market for data loss prevention (DLP) and related technologies is expected to reach $3 billion. Even billions of dollars are invested in legacy DLP technologies, data breaches via inadvertent leaks, ransomware, sophisticated cyberattacks, and other sources continue to occur at an astonishing speed. Clients demand a solution to protect data without compromising the user experience, as DLP has failed. CrowdStrike promises to rethink data security using SecureCircle’s technology, enforcing encryption on data in all three states (in transit, at rest, and in use), allowing clients to secure data on, from, and to endpoints. Clients will be able to govern data access and usage regulations for each user based on their Zero Trust score when integrated with CrowdStrike Zero Trust Assessment, providing dynamic risk mitigation.

“Data loss prevention has suffered from a lack of innovation and legacy tools have completely failed to live up to the promise of preventing breaches. At the same time, the endpoint has become the focal point for how data is accessed, used, shared and stored,” said George Kurtz, co-founder and chief executive officer of CrowdStrike. “CrowdStrike will be setting a new standard for endpoint-based data protection by connecting Zero Trust enforcement to the device, the user identity and, with this acquisition, the data users are accessing and using.”

Jeff Capone, chief executive officer at SecureCircle said, “We are excited to join the CrowdStrike family, and integrate SecureCircle’s revolutionary data protection solutions with the industry leader in cloud-delivered endpoint protection. The endpoint in today’s enterprise is everything, and coupling our cloud-native approach to protecting sensitive data with CrowdStrike’s industry leading Zero Trust endpoint security will enable customers to enforce Zero Trust on the endpoint across all levels.”

Involta Releases Air Gap Solution to Protect Crucial Data From Cybercrime

Posted on by admin

Involta, a provider of cloud computing, hybrid IT and data services firm, announced the launch of  Involta Air Gap to secure business backup, as digital migration continues to advance into the cloud. Involta Air Gap provides robust air security — the space between working and backup — to stop cyber criminals from accessing important information, significantly mitigating the severity of expensive ransomware attacks.

With increased cybercrime at corporate level, this solution is vital. Cybercrimes have increased significantly over the past year in terms of high-profile ranching campaigns and viruses, malware and DoS (denial of service). This has led to unprecedented cyber and information security spending among businesses. Research forecasts that the world will have a global cost of 11.4 million dollars every minute by the end of 2021.

“In the arena of cybersecurity, ransomware attacks target back-ups, crippling an organization’s ability to access its critical data. Involta Air Gap builds on cybersecurity measures that may already be in place and acknowledges that securing enterprise data in a separate location is critical. The premise is that a cybercriminal can’t access back-ups if there is no connection between environments. Involta Air Gap was developed to help enterprises win the war against cybercrime, especially those using AWS and Veeam cloud solutions,” said Mark Cooley, Vice President of Security and Compliance, Involta.

It continues to follow AWS’s elevated relations with AWS as the AWS Partner Network’s Advanced Consulting partner and its Veeam Cloud and Service Provider (VCSP) status in the AWS Partner Network (APN).

The latest capital, which makes the total financing $19 million, comes 12 months after the Sequoia-led seed round and allows the firm to extend its security data cloud platform development initiatives. Shaun Maguire, a partner at Sequoia Capital, and Carlos Gonzalez-Cadenas, a partner at Index Ventures, will join the Monad board of directors as board observers.

“Security is fundamentally a big data problem,” said Christian Almenar, CEO and co-founder of Monad. “Customers are often unable to access their security data in the streamlined manner that DevOps and cloud engineering teams need to build their apps quickly while also addressing their most pressing security and compliance challenges. We founded Monad to solve this security data challenge at scale and liberate customers’ security data from siloed tools to make it accessible via any data warehouse of choice. We’re excited to partner with such an experienced team of investors as we look to accelerate the use of our data security cloud platform and deliver it to companies of all sizes.”

The Monad platform allows teams to collect and connect data from critical security technologies, centralize that data in a data warehouse of choice, and standardize and improve data so that security teams have the detailed insights they need to properly secure their systems and data. Monad makes these security insights accessible, accurate, thorough, and repeatable. Monad also enables security operations teams to make better use of their security tool sets’ full capabilities based on the current state of their environment.

“There are more security tools than ever, but because of the complexity of the environments and the siloed nature of the different security tools, breaches continue to happen. Cybersecurity is fundamentally a data management challenge that Monad is poised to solve. Their cloud-native security data platform makes it easy to extract the data from the different security tools already adopted by organizations, integrate it into a clean, connected model and unlock its hidden value. We believe that the Monad team is ready to lead this journey, and we’re pleased to announce that we’re leading their A-round investment and the launch of their platform,” said Carlos Gonzalez-Cadenas, partner at Index Ventures.

“Most Fortune 500 companies have hundreds of security vendors, which makes centralizing and operationalizing data from these applications a daunting challenge. Monad solves this problem at scale by connecting data from various security tools and providing precise insights to security teams. Christian and Jacolon have made significant traction since the seed and we’re thrilled to double down as they take on a massive market opportunity,” said Shaun Maguire, partner at Sequoia.

“Innovations in data analytics are transforming departments across the enterprise but cybersecurity has been largely left behind. I regularly speak with security teams that rely on log management tools for threat detection, incident response, compliance automation and security metrics but remain held back by visibility challenges and lack of automation. It’s exciting to see how easy Monad makes it for security analysts to join the rest of the company on Snowflake. Now, InfoSec and DevOps teams can build data-driven security and compliance applications limited only by their imagination,” said Omer Singer, Head of Cybersecurity Strategy at Snowflake.
