Immersive Labs Unveils World’s First Comprehensive Score to Gauge Enterprise Cyber Resilience

Businesswire | May 08, 2023

Immersive Labs, the leader in people-centric cyber resilience, today announced the launch of the Immersive Labs Resilience Score. The score measures an organization’s workforce preparedness for cyber attacks and breaches based on Immersive Labs’ years of benchmarking data across industry verticals. The score will help organizations identify weaknesses in their teams’ cyber capabilities, address skills gaps to prevent or mitigate damage to their revenues and brand reputations, and contribute to the factors that can lower insurance premiums. The Immersive Labs Resilience Score addresses a major challenge facing cyber leaders around the world today: a lack of confidence in, or awareness of, their teams’ real readiness to confront threats. Alarmingly, 80% of cyber leaders don’t think, or are unsure, their teams have the capabilities to respond to future attacks, according to a new study commissioned by Immersive Labs and conducted by Forrester Consulting.* “There is a common misconception that teams’ cyber capabilities are not measurable, but advancements in cyber exercising give us new insights to predict risk and build vital cyber capabilities across the workforce,” said Paul Bentham, Chief Product Officer, Immersive Labs. “The new Immersive Labs Resilience Score demonstrates that resilience can be assessed, benchmarked, and increased based on performance data. This is a huge leap forward in proving cyber capabilities compared to outdated, legacy cybersecurity training.” How the Immersive Labs Resilience Score Works The Immersive Labs platform provides realistic simulations and hands-on cybersecurity labs to evaluate individual and team capabilities across the entire workforce, from executive decision makers to cyber defense, application security, IT, cloud teams and more. Now, when organizations use the platform to upskill their people, they will be able to view their overall resilience score against industry benchmarks and best practices, and see progress over time. The Resilience Score is calculated based on several factors, including: Executive and Crisis Management teams can effectively manage a complex crisis stemming from a cyber incident with consistent decision making and high levels of confidence Cyber teams can work together to solve complex red-team and blue-team scenarios using real-world environments Cyber teams are assigned to job roles and can prove their ability to carry out tasks in-line with new CVEs and capabilities Developers are able to prove their ability to code securely and systematically reduce vulnerabilities in the SDLC Cloud engineers are able to identify and fix common misconfigurations in real cloud environments End users are confident in end user security outcomes including how to report an incident and spot business email compromise The organization has proper security framework coverage, including MITRE ATT&CK Teams and individuals are mapped to job skills and are proving their technical abilities and that their skills are being kept up to date The Immersive Labs Resilience Score will be available to all customers beginning in late Q2 2023. To learn more about this new capability, please visit: https://www.immersivelabs.com/the-score/ *Forrester Opportunity SnapShot: “Cyber Leaders Need a More Effective Approach to Building and Proving Resilience” – A custom study commissioned by Immersive Labs, March 2023 About Immersive Labs Immersive Labs is the leader in people-centric cyber resilience.

Dashlane Introduces Passwordless Login

Businesswire | May 08, 2023

Dashlane, the security-first password manager, today introduced Passwordless Login, a technology that eliminates the need to create a master password to access Dashlane. The company was the first password manager to offer an extension that supports passkeys and this is the next step in that evolution. With Passwordless Login, users will be able to securely access their Dashlane account without having to create and remember a single password. As digital profiles have multiplied both professionally and personally, it’s become increasingly difficult to securely manage credentials. Gartner reported that as many as 20-50% of all helpdesk calls are related to password resets. Password managers have helped simplify this process, though users have still needed to create and remember a master password to access their vaults. By eliminating the master password, Dashlane will empower users to create new phishing-resistant, passwordless accounts that don’t suffer from the vulnerabilities of traditional passwords and multifactor authentication (MFA). Not only does this strengthen overall security posture, it removes user friction and provides a more accessible way for people to access their accounts and protect their personal information. “Our business has long been about helping users and organizations manage their passwords and logins. But the digital password was born in the 1960s and despite technological advancements, many people still use the same username and password format for most of their online lives,” said John Bennett, CEO at Dashlane. “While our business model has relied on users having one strong, unique master password, it’s still a password that can be weak, reused, phished, or breached. Unveiling today’s passwordless technology marks a significant milestone in our journey towards a future with no passwords.” By relying on the strength of local device security, which includes PINs and biometrics, Dashlane is able to securely authenticate and provide access to a user’s encrypted vault, which allows Dashlane to be resistant to phishing attacks. Additionally, Dashlane uses cryptographic keys generated with Elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) to assist with securely exchanging secrets between devices, making setting up a new device fast and secure and regaining access simple. Dashlane is introducing a new mechanism to let users recover their data if they lose their device. This new Dashlane Account Recovery Key will also be made available to our existing users who still use a master password to log in to Dashlane. Dashlane’s Passwordless Login is a cross-platform solution that is agnostic to the state of a user’s hardware and software. The technology also enables: Faster device setup flow using a registered device The ability to set up device-specific PIN codes and biometrics (like fingerprint or facial recognition) to create an account on a mobile iOS or Android device The ability to regain access to an account with a recovery key, in the event of a total device loss Dashlane recently became a board-level member of the FIDO Alliance, doubling down on its commitment to work with industry partners to advance the passwordless future through the widespread adoption of passkeys and phishing-resistant authentication. New Dashlane users will be able to sign up for an account without a master password in the coming months on their mobile device, and the capability will be rolled out to existing customers later this year. For more information on Passwordless Login for Dashlane and to see a demo of how the experience will work, please visit Dashlane’s Passwordless hub. About Dashlane Dashlane is a password management solution that removes complexity by pairing comprehensive security with ease of use. We are closely attuned to the needs of our users, balancing simple tools with an uncompromising approach to security–a game changer for anyone, but especially for IT admins working to secure their organization.

Aqua Security Launches Industry First Real-Time CSPM

Globenewswire | May 17, 2023

Aqua Security, the pioneer in cloud native security, today announced the launch of Real-Time CSPM, a next-gen cloud security posture management (CSPM) solution, offering the best visibility and context in the industry. Real-Time CSPM provides a complete view of multi-cloud security risk, pinpoints threats that evade agentless detection, and dramatically reduces noise so security practitioners can rapidly identify, prioritize, and remediate the most important cloud security risks, saving time and money. “Customers have told us that they are bogged down by too much noise from current CSPM offerings,” said Amir Jerbi, CTO and co-founder, Aqua Security. “They receive too many findings yet lack complete visibility and therefore the ability to properly prioritize. Simply put, they fix the wrong things and end up compromised. This is where Aqua comes in. We are introducing Real-Time CSPM so security practitioners can pinpoint the most significant cloud risks and remediate them quickly.” With Real-Time CSPM, teams have a complete view of cloud security risk and surface the most critical findings. This includes the ability to match correlated findings across multi-cloud environments, deduplicate findings and focus on identifying real cloud risks with smarter insights. Instead of wasting time on issues with low effective risk, customers can focus on what truly matters most and provide the context needed for resource owners to remediate quickly and secure their cloud applications. “One of the world’s largest telcos turned to Aqua to provide better visibility and context. They went from 120M risk findings to 50k and they saw a reduction in their attack surface by 99% in just months. If everything is a priority, then nothing is – that’s why they chose Aqua,” said Jerbi. Detailed context also allows teams to connect issues found in their cloud to their respective code repositories. With better prioritization and the ability to identify risk ownership, Real-Time CSPM then allows for rapid remediation of those most critical issues. Security professionals can focus their limited resources to manage, investigate and respond faster. Identify Attacks That Agentless Solutions Cannot See Point-in-time scanning opens the door for increased attacks. According to the IDC report, “The State of Cybersecurity Maturity in Vulnerability Management Among U.S. Organizations,” 74% of organizations scan less than 85% of their IT assets when they do scan, leaving an opportunity for many vulnerabilities to go undiscovered until an attacker makes use of them. By then it is too late. Aqua Real-Time CSPM eliminates that risk and delivers real-time visibility and risk prioritization in a single, unified platform for faster, more effective risk management. Unlike point-in-time scanning solutions, Aqua Real-Time CSPM provides a deeper layer of visibility for better context, leading to the ability to prioritize the most critical cloud security risks. “Other CSPM solutions give you a false sense of security. Whether you scan daily or monthly, you’re only seeing a portion of the risks with a point-in-time scan. And that’s not true security,” said Jerbi. Further data from Aqua Nautilus, Aqua’s cloud security research team, supports the need for real-time scanning. Nautilus uses an extensive honeypot network to detect and analyze over 80,000 attacks a month. Of those attacks, one in three do not leave a footprint and would be missed by point-in-time scanning solutions. Similarly, zero-day attacks are missed, whilst other standard operating procedures like ephemeral containers and transient attacks raise that number to 50%. Real-Time CSPM is part of the Aqua Cloud Security Platform, a cloud native application protection platform (CNAPP). The Aqua Platform is composed of a fully integrated set of security and compliance capabilities to discover, prioritize, and eliminate risk in minutes across the full software development life cycle. Aqua improves operational efficiency by connecting cloud to code and tracing runtime risks to the code and developer who can fix them. By connecting CSPM to runtime, it shields risks that cannot be immediately addressed with a code fix. For more information on Aqua’s Real-Time CSPM, visit the blog. About Aqua Security Aqua Security stops cloud native attacks and is the only company with a $1M Cloud Native Protection Warranty to guarantee it. As the pioneer and largest pure-play cloud native security company, Aqua helps customers unlock innovation and build the future of their business. The Aqua Platform is the industry's most integrated Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP), prioritizing risk and automating prevention, detection and response across the lifecycle.
