Malwarebytes | January 24, 2024
Malwarebytes, a global leader in real-time cyber protection, today announced the availability of ThreatDown K-12 Bundle, combining the cybersecurity technologies and services that K-12 education institutions need into a streamlined, cost-effective bundle. 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.

Boomi | January 12, 2024
Boomi™, the intelligent connectivity and automation leader, today announced that the Boomi platform has achieved StateRAMP Authorization. This achievement reflects Boomi’s unwavering commitment to data security and compliance, and to delivering a secure and reliable solution that government agencies can rely on to safeguard their data and operations.
“At Boomi, we are committed to democratizing modernization. Securing StateRAMP authorization for our platform was paramount, enabling public sector organizations to seamlessly and securely integrate and leverage cloud applications,” said Sean Wechter, Chief Information Officer at Boomi. “Through a strategic alliance with StateRAMP, Boomi actively collaborates with its leadership board, facilitating streamlined documentation and audit processes to expedite digital transformation within the public sector."
According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office, government agencies plan to spend billions of dollars each year to support their IT and cybersecurity efforts, including transitioning IT resources to secure, cost-effective commercial cloud services.1 However, agencies are challenged to select secure cloud-based solutions, making it difficult for these organizations to modernize and improve constituent experiences.
StateRAMP, a nationally recognized risk authorization management program that provides a standardized approach to assessing cloud products, improves security and simplifies procurement by building a pool of pre-authorized Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions for public sector entities.
As organizations more frequently implement cloud-based solutions, they also require validated access to integration platform as a service (iPaaS) to streamline application and resource integration. iPaaS integrates cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-on premises, and on-premises-to-on-premises platforms, helping public sector organizations break down data silos to enhance information flow, improve citizen services, and increase operational effectiveness.
About Boomi
Boomi aims to make the world a better place by connecting everyone to everything, anywhere. The pioneer of cloud-based integration platform as a service (iPaaS), and now a category-leading, global software as a service (SaaS) company, Boomi touts the largest customer base among integration platform vendors and a worldwide network of approximately 800 partners – including Accenture, Capgemini, SAP, and Snowflake. Global organizations turn to Boomi’s award-winning platform to discover, manage, and orchestrate data, while connecting applications, processes, and people for better, faster outcomes.

D3 Security | January 08, 2024
D3 Security today announced its participation in the Microsoft Security Copilot Partner Private Preview. D3 Security was selected based on their proven experience with Microsoft Security technologies, willingness to explore and provide feedback on cutting edge functionality, and close relationship with Microsoft.
“In the context of security, AI’s impact is likely to be profound, tilting the scales in favor of defenders and empowering organizations to defend at machine speed. At Microsoft, we are privileged to have a leading role in advancing AI innovation, and we are so grateful to our incredible ecosystem of partners, whose mission-driven work is critical to helping customers secure their organizations and confidently bring the many benefits of AI into their environments,” said Vasu Jakkal, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Security.
D3 Security is working with Microsoft product teams to help shape Security Copilot product development in several ways, including validation and refinement of new and upcoming scenarios, providing feedback on product development and operations to be incorporated into future product releases, and validation and feedback of APIs to assist with Security Copilot extensibility.
“D3 has always pushed SOAR technology forward, be it through our deep research into integration design; our Event Pipeline, which reduces alert-handling time by up to 99%; or our operationalizing of the MITRE ATT&CK and D3FEND frameworks,” said Gordon Benoit, President, D3 Security. “By teaming with Microsoft in the Security Copilot Partner Private Preview, we will be able to use AI to evolve SOAR in ways that would have sounded impossible just a year ago.”
Security Copilot is the first AI-powered security product that enables security professionals to respond to threats quickly, process signals at machine speed, and assess risk exposure in minutes. It combines an advanced large language model (LLM) with a security-specific model that is informed by Microsoft's unique global threat intelligence and more than 65 trillion daily signals.
About D3 Security
