Deepwatch Introduced MXDR for Cybersecurity

Posted on by admin

Deepwatch launched managed extended detection and response (MXDR) service that provides an automated response to threats at the RSA Conference. Deepwatch protects enterprise networks and secures their digital economy. It has transformed the modern SOC through a cloud security platform backed by exceptional engineers, developers, and security experts.

Deepwatch’s MXDR service enhances detection capabilities by providing high-fidelity, contextualized alerts that enable rapid response and containment of cyber threats.

Wes Mullins, chief technology officer at Deepwatch stated, “Deepwatch MXDR automates response capabilities that help security operations teams contain threats and mitigate risk faster and more confidently than ever before. Automation delivers accelerated response times when powered by robust and accurate information on detected threats. High-fidelity alerts, enriched with information across endpoint, network, cloud, email, and identities correlated over a while, enables security teams to swiftly identify and contain threats before they disrupt business.”

Deepwatch MXDR reduces the risk of business-impacting security incidents by responding at machine speed, allowing analysts to complete the rest in human time. Deepwatch produces the most comprehensive high-fidelity alerts by leveraging the Deepwatch SecOps platform to collect, process, and analyze security telemetry from data sources.

Dave Gruber, Principal ESG Analyst stated, “Security leaders considering XDR should focus on security outcomes, including fast and efficient alert triage and prioritization, advanced threat detection, and rapid detection and response times, all aimed at supporting a growing attack surface. ESG research shows that half of the security teams prefer a fully managed XDR solution, with 52% of organizations believing that an MDR service provider can do a better job at threat detection and response than they can. Other MDR use cases reported in support of XDR deployments include the need for more expert security skills, staffing augmentation, and off-hours coverage.”

Deepwatch enhances threat detection while reducing alert overload by correlating related threat activity for a single entity and escalating only alerts that exceed the customer-defined risk threshold. Deepwatch MXDR automates response actions through advanced detection capabilities, reducing lag time and reliance on security personnel and cross-departmental resources.

Nozomi and Siemens Collaborated for Cybersecurity

Posted on by admin

Nozomi Networks and Siemens have expanded their collaboration by incorporating Nozomi Networks’ Guardian Remote Collector software into the Siemens Scalance LPE local processing engine, a hardware platform tailored to process data for edge and cloud applications in manufacturing environments. Customers can now deploy the leading OT & IoT continuous monitoring solution to their industrial networks with ease, thanks to the power and simplicity of the Siemens Scalance LPE hardware.

Maximilian Korff, Lead, Business Development for Scalance at Siemens commented, “This is the first distributed cybersecurity data collection and analysis software embedded in the Scalance LPE platform and is a vital part of our defense-in-depth concept for OT cybersecurity. This integration offers our customers a non-intrusive and powerful solution to detect threats in real-time and gain deeper visibility of their OT network.”

The Scalance LPE hosts a Docker containerized version of the Guardian Remote Collector, that brings local data collection, pre-processing, and analytics to operational technology deployments. It enables more efficient analysis and data aggregation by any centralized application, including Nozomi Networks Vantage cloud-hosted security platform, and provides an effective way to distribute processing power across large manufacturing operations.

Sid Snitkin, Vice-President of Cybersecurity Advisory Services at ARC Advisory Group stated, “This is a significant milestone for the Siemens partnership with Nozomi Networks. Embedding Nozomi Networks solutions into Siemens Scalance LPE eliminates integration cycles and gives users an efficient and reliable solution with cybersecurity capabilities baked in.”

The Scalance LPE solution delivers highly scalable continuous monitoring and intrusion detection to the network edge. Data is sent from the edge to the Nozomi Networks Remote Collector, which is hosted on the Scalance LPE, to monitor and analyze industrial network protocols for anomalous behavior and potential threats. This integration is unique and can collect traffic from parallel PROFIsafe production cells using the Siemens reference network architectures.

Chet Namboodri, Vice President of Business Development at Nozomi Networks stated, “Supporting the Scalance LPE with a docker container version of our Remote Collector will streamline deployment options for our customers and follows on our existing support for the Siemens Ruggedcom APE platform. Siemens helps customers get the most out of the Nozomi Networks platform at any scale for these critical manufacturing and industrial control customers.”

Onapsis Assess Baseline to Safeguard SAP

Posted on by admin

Onapsis Assess Baseline facilitates businesses of all sizes to accelerate time-to-value by simplifying deployment with a new SaaS-based, zero-footprint model and focusing on a core, targeted set of critical vulnerabilities as the first steps on their journey to ensure SAP application cybersecurity, compliance, and availability. When organizations are ready to expand, Onapsis Assess Baseline provides a simple expansion to additional scope for vulnerability management, as well as capabilities for continuous threat monitoring and application security testing.

Onapsis launched Onapsis Assess Baseline, a new offering that helps organizations jumpstart their SAP vulnerability management programs by better aligning with the SAP Security Baseline. Organizations must re-evaluate how they secure their most critical systems considering the exponential growth of targeted ransomware and the increased threat of cyber warfare as a result of global conflict. Companies are struggling to keep up with the growing number of vulnerabilities exploited by threat actors to gain access to their business-critical applications as the threat landscape evolves and becomes more aggressive.

Mariano Nunez, CEO of Onapsis stated, “Securing business-critical applications have always been challenging, but there’s a larger bullseye on the backs of organizations today – more than ever before – as sophisticated threat actors increasingly target Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. We have successfully helped the world’s largest and most sophisticated organizations integrate their business applications into their cybersecurity and compliance programs. Now, Assess Baseline makes it easy for customers who are getting started with their SAP application security programs to jumpstart quickly and effectively protecting the applications that power their businesses.”

Key organizational advantages of Onapsis Baseline assessment include reduced implementation costs through faster deployment.  Assess Baseline provides quick deployment and implementation with zero footprint scanning, whether in their cloud, on-premises, or via Onapsis’ SaaS platform. Users can scan with Assess Baseline against the SAP-recommended security baseline requirements for an organization’s SAP systems within hours, resulting in a faster time-to-value for SAP vulnerability management. The scans provide powerful context about critical vulnerabilities, mitigation instructions, and assurance that patches were applied, saving valuable resource time.

Steve Biskie, national ERP risk, and automation services leader with RSM US LLP said, “Today’s threat landscape requires a holistic approach to securing business-critical SAP applications such as ERP software. It is exciting to see Onapsis continuing to innovate its solutions to assist companies on their security maturity journey. The new Baseline license can help pave the way for more organizations to have an entry point into vulnerability management for SAP applications that could help keep their critical data and applications safe and compliant.”
