Purpose-built to reduce risk, complexity and costs for districts and schools, the ThreatDown K-12 Bundle delivers unified protection with an intuitive, easy-to-manage design. The ThreatDown K-12 Bundle allows schools to optimize device uptime and improve productivity, while protecting students and staff, devices and data from the latest cyber threats. "Schools are increasingly facing cyber threats with limited IT resources, leading to a rise in ransomware attacks that affect staff, teaching, and student well-being," said Marcin Kleczynski, Founder and CEO of Malwarebytes. "Historically, cost barriers prevented schools from adopting cybersecurity managed services. Our K-12 Bundle packages together everything districts need to reduce risk and comply with regulations within a manageable budget. We're committed to making powerful protection and managed services accessible to vulnerable schools and students." Bridging the Cybersecurity Gap for Resource-constrained K-12 IT Teams Modern K-12 educational institutions have a wide range of school-, staff- and student-owned devices – from traditional laptops, desktops and servers to Chromebooks, iPadOS, iOS, and Android devices. While these devices greatly enrich the student learning experience and streamline operations for staff, they also introduce new risks. Key features of the ThreatDown K-12 Bundle include: Award-winning endpoint security: K-12 Bundle is built on ThreatDown's strongest AI/ML-driven prevention, detection and response technologies fortified by built-in innovations to reduce the attack surface. These technologies simplify the process of finding and patching software vulnerabilities and prevent unauthorized programs from executing. 24x7x365 managed services: The K-12 Bundle combines ThreatDown advanced technologies with Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service of ThreatDown cybersecurity experts to manage security and resolve alerts around the clock, delivered as an affordable, hassle-free bundle. Unified endpoint management: ThreatDown extends powerful endpoint protection across workstations, servers and mobile device to substantially strengthen schools' cybersecurity postures in compliance with new and pending regulations. Quick and easy to deploy, the K-12 Bundle saves time and resources with unified endpoint management for both traditional and mobile devices – all from a single, cloud-native console. Centralized, real-time visibility: K-12 IT teams can easily view activity across all devices in real time. With a unified platform and visibility for traditional and mobile endpoints, teams can monitor and protect devices from a single pane of glass. Teams can understand the threats to devices in their environments and mitigate potential risks. Advanced mobile protection: ThreatDown K-12 Bundle provides effective protection for Chromebooks, iPadOS, iOS, and Android devices, guarding against the latest mobile threats such as ransomware, malicious apps, and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). With real-time protection, schools can also prevent accidental access to harmful websites, safeguard against malicious apps, block unwanted in-app ads, and enable a secure mobile experience for students.

Deepwatch | January 09, 2024

Deepwatch, the leading managed security platform for the cyber resilient enterprise, today announced the launch of Threat Signal, its standalone forensic-focused operations service. Deepwatch designed Threat Signal to enhance companies’ cybersecurity defenses, proactively identify and help mitigate attack vectors, and stay ahead of evolving risks to strengthen cyber resilience. Threat Signal provides protection beyond traditional security measures, finding advanced cyber threats that have bypassed existing controls by leveraging the latest attacker methodologies to stay in tune with the constantly evolving threat landscape. Using an “outside-in” methodology, Threat Signal evaluates an organization’s externally accessible presence from an attacker’s perspective to pinpoint and investigate risky systems and services. This informs the initial investigation and allows Deepwatch Experts to leverage advanced capabilities through organic intelligence, deep forensics, and threat hunting. According to Forrester’s “How to Make Threat Intelligence Actionable” report¹, “Over time, companies need to move beyond tactical use cases. Threat hunting can uncover threats that have bypassed traditional security tools, allowing companies to stop attacks earlier to minimize disruptions. As Forrester’s Threat Hunting 101 report describes, threat intelligence is vital because it provides insights into the TTPs of threat actors and details on how malware behaves. If time, expertise, and resources are constrained, consider leveraging an external service provider to conduct the threat-hunting exercise as an annual consulting engagement.” Threat Signal provides tailored and proactive security measures through customer-specific intelligence that takes an organization's unique attack surface, business risks, and the latest adversary intelligence or "threat cases" into account. Threat Signal’s additional features and capabilities include: Deepwatch Experts - Seasoned forensic security experts perform in-depth investigations, identifying threats before they disrupt an organization. Attack Surface Profiles - These profiles provide a customer actionable report, detailing external opportunity areas that an attacker could leverage against an organization, including high-risk opportunities, mitigation recommendations, and threat hunting leads. Forensic-Agent-Based Threat Hunting Engagements - Deepwatch’s specialists consistently engage in hunting activities to reveal concealed threats within a company’s infrastructure and provide a threat hunt summary report with detailed observations and any actions that the customer took during that hunt cycle. Reporting and Reviews - Deepwatch provides customers with reports, including: Weekly intelligence brief reports on analyzed open-source intelligence with Deepwatch recommendations. Summary presentations on the solution engagement status, including but not limited to hunting reports. Up to two executive reviews of the solution and observables per year. Ad-hoc awareness briefs of security advisories based on Deepwatch threat criteria. Annual intelligence reports on incident lessons learned and predictions. Malware Analysis - Deepwatch’s Adversary Tactics and Intelligence (ATI) team analyze collected malware and provide a report. Enhanced Security - Deepwatch’s MDR customers benefit from cross-collaborative security operations, harnessing advanced threat detection, and hyper-responsive capabilities. “As security professionals, we look to enhance a company’s security readiness. To do that, it’s critical for them to look beyond their existing security controls to ensure they are identifying and proactively protecting the business from external threats,” said Jerrod Barton, VP, Cyber Operations & Intelligence for Deepwatch. “With Threat Signal, we’re able to help our enterprise customers view their security readiness through the lens of the ‘attackers,’ ensuring that they can rapidly respond to any incoming threats, which in turn helps them elevate their cyber resilience.” About Deepwatch Deepwatch is the leading managed security platform for the cyber resilient enterprise. The Deepwatch Managed Security Platform and security experts provide enterprises with 24/7/365 cyber resilience, rapid detections, high fidelity alerts, reduced false positives, and automated actions. We operate as an extension of cybersecurity teams by delivering exceptional security expertise, visibility across your attack surface, precision response to threats, and a compelling return on your security investments.
