Ambient.ai Launches AI-driven Forensics Tool to Improve Security

Ambient.ai | March 06, 2023 | Read time : 04:00 min

Ambient.ai, the company evolving physical security with computer vision intelligence, recently introduced its AI-Powered Forensics solution to power incident investigations in near real-time. New event-based and entity search capabilities enable teams to search by objects, complex actions, and non-biometric person descriptors such as shirt color, thereby reducing investigation times by over 90%.

Security investigations require operators to analyze individual camera streams with search options limited to basic motion or person/object search, log into multiple applications, and wait for time-consuming video processing, which can take hours or days. Ambient's AI-Powered Forensics is wholly integrated with the camera system, enabling near-instantaneous search across camera networks when an incident occurs – eliminating lengthy wait times and processing, thereby reducing security investigations from hours to minutes.

Entity Search builds upon Ambient.ai's first-of-its-kind event-based search and filtering capabilities, utilizing non-biometric identifiers for objects and people to locate key footage and sophisticated event signatures. Additionally, Conjunction Search enables users to filter footage by two or more entities, events, or attributes, thereby expanding the search parameter's scope.

One-click sharing and archiving allow teams to instantly share footage to build detailed reports on incident timelines, speed up internal and external investigations and responses, and ensure security protocol compliance. With streamlined investigations, security teams can analyze footage to determine security efficacy, threat incidence, and vulnerabilities.

The Ambient.ai Context GraphTM uses computer vision to identify entities, objects, and their connections across surveillance feeds and PACS alarms in the new AI-Powered Forensics. The platform uses the extensible graph for threat detection, signals intelligence, and response. In addition, the company continuously adds event and entity recognition signatures and uses human-in-the-loop feedback to improve performance.

Ambient's AI-Powered Forensics capabilities have been tested in high-security environments, such as world-renowned museums and Fortune 500 companies. Today, innovative companies such as Adobe, Impossible Foods, and VMware rely on the company to improve their physical security.

Traceable AI Introduces World’s First Zero Trust API Access (ZTAA) Solution

Businesswire | April 28, 2023

Traceable AI, the industry’s leading API security company, today announced the launch of its innovative solution, Zero Trust API Access, to help organizations better protect sensitive data, stop API abuse, and align data security programs with broader innovation and business objectives. As the industry’s first and only solution in the market, Traceable’s Zero Trust API Access actively reduces your attack surface by minimizing or eliminating implied and persistent trust for your APIs. “You cannot have true Zero Trust without API security,” said Sanjay Nagaraj, CTO of Traceable. “Traceable’s Zero Trust API Access provides a guiding principle for API security architectures for enhanced data protection, security posture and resiliency. APIs are the universal attack vector, and if companies truly want to take the Zero Trust framework seriously, protect their data and create an environment that enables the ability to grow securely, they need a solution that is both strategic and tactical.” Zero Trust API Access (ZTAA) provides enterprises considerable business benefits including: Dynamic Data Access policies stop data breaches in their tracks: With Traceable, you can detect and classify the data that APIs are handling, to apply proper policies. These policies define which users and roles can access different data types, at what times, from what geolocations and from what client types. With dynamic data access policies, you can quickly and easily create policies with out-of-the-box templates or customize policies based on organization needs. Continuous Adaptive Trust for real-time threat prevention: Traceable’s ZTAA provides security that continuously adjusts to the organization’s threat landscape. This is achieved through real-time, context-based authentication and authorization for API access (both user and machine). Traceable can stitch APIs, as well as the data and user context, via flexible data collection options. This ensures that adaptive trust is enforced for APIs at the edge, as well as for all internal services, for-service APIs and 3rd party APIs. The result is the right access for the right users and entities, at the right time, thereby protecting the business and its sensitive customer data. Intelligent Rate Limiting for API abuse prevention: API rate limiting enables organizations to control the incoming traffic to an API by automatically limiting the number of requests that the API can receive within a given period of time. After the limit is reached, the policy rejects all requests, thereby avoiding any additional load on the backend API. Intelligent rate limiting factors in the rates for users, proxies, bots, and the business function of APIs. This provides enhanced protection against API DDoS attacks, reduces load on backend APIs, honors SLAs, and reduces costs often associated with 3rd party APIs. Access to APIs and sensitive data is therefore proactive and automatic, preventing API abuse. Security becomes a business enabler: When combined, Zero Trust Security and API Security create a holistic and robust security approach that actively mitigates the risks associated with accessing sensitive data via APIs. This comprehensive approach helps protect sensitive information and fosters a secure environment for innovation and growth. Organizations can now confidently offer new products and services, turning security from a hindrance, to a catalyst for accelerated growth. Traceable’s Zero Trust API Access is essential to aligning Zero Trust implementations with the realities of today’s application architectures and extending the Zero Trust Security model to the full application stack. To learn more about Zero Trust API Access from Traceable, visit the team at RSA South Hall, Booth 2133 or request a demo with a security expert. About Traceable Traceable is the industry’s leading API Security company that helps organizations achieve API protection in a cloud-first, API-driven world. With an API Data Lake at the core of the platform, Traceable is the only intelligent and context-aware solution that powers complete API security – security posture management, threat protection and threat management across the entire Software Development Lifecycle – enabling organizations to minimize risk and maximize the value that APIs bring to their customers.

Businesswire | April 10, 2023

LastPass announced the expanded availability of its Security Dashboard and associated dark web monitoring and alerting, making it the only password manager providing proactive credential monitoring for all customers, including those using the product for free. The Security Dashboard is the central hub where customers can monitor the overall security of all vault credentials, including exposure to the dark web, which allows customers to better protect themselves from potential breaches. “The Security Dashboard is an essential component of the partnership we have with our customers to help keep their data and private information secure,” said Christina Cho, Sr. Director of Product Management at LastPass. “We are committed to providing our customers with the knowledge and best practices necessary to make their password vault and digital presence as strong as possible.” The expanded rollout of the Security Dashboard comes as part of LastPass’ ongoing efforts to better educate customers on password and vault best practices. Using the Security Dashboard, all LastPass customers can now monitor, review and further secure their LastPass account and data within from one central location: Security Score: A customer’s security score is a score of 1% through 100% that analyzes use of LastPass’ security best practices, including the strength of vault passwords, use of multi-factor authentication, and dark web monitoring. List of At-Risk Passwords: Customers can see a list of passwords that are considered weak or are reused and can easily update them using the LastPass password generator to change them to strong and unique passwords. Enabling Multi-Factor Authentication: LastPass recommends customers enable multi-factor authentication to add an extra layer of protection to their LastPass vault. Dark Web Monitoring: Customers can enable dark web monitoring and receive real-time monitoring of email addresses saved to their vault against a database of compromised credentials from third-party breaches.
