Blackpoint partners can stay ahead of cyberthreats with the following products:

Security Configuration Benchmarks for M365 – Vulnerability Mapping to CIS Benchmarks for Cloud Environments

CIS foundation benchmark for M365 and Azure provide prescriptive guidance for establishing a secure baseline configuration. Blackpoint has reviewed every control on your behalf and made recommendations on several to harden your customer environments. Now you can compare your security measures to Center of Internet Security Benchmarks directly in the Blackpoint portal. Assess your standing against these internationally recognized security standards and implement the recommended changes to reduce the attack surface in cloud tenants.

MDE Vulnerability Report—Security Visibility Unlocked

The capabilities of Blackpoint’s product bundle, Blackpoint Response, have grown. With Managed Defender for Endpoint, we've introduced internal vulnerability reporting to help you better assess your customers’ security posture, directly within the portal. The reports include recommendations for remediation and simplify the process to action them. Improvements based on the reports may pertain to expiring certificates, device exposure, or vulnerable software.

macOS Agent—The Power of MDR Within Your Mac

After many requests from their partner community, due to a lack of true Mac MDR, Blackpoint’s flagship MDR product, SNAP-Defense, is now available to monitor and respond to threats on Apple devices running macOS. As the macOS market share in business settings continues to grow, Blackpoint partners now have the capability to provide protection to those assets.

About Blackpoint Cyber
Blackpoint Cyber offers the only world-class, nation-state-grade cybersecurity ecosystem serving the MSP community. Using its own software and SOC, Blackpoint’s true 24/7 MDR service not only detects breaches earlier than any other solution on the market, but also provides an actual response rather than just an alert to keep your and your clients’ networks safe from widespread damage.

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) Scans With the Context Developers Need

We show you the type of attack, or rather the type of vulnerability, the component, and how many times it occurred. Here, the alert, again, while it shows you things like the resolution and the references, the path that it existed in, the method in which this was invoked, there's some actual cool stuff that we show here on the right hand side. We collect things like the method. In this case, it was a post. The confidence level, the evidence, but we also show you the request and response. Here you can see what the request header was, the request body, the response header, as well as the response body. Now from a developer's perspective, if they wanted to replay this, we provide this really nifty command, or rather curl command. When you click this, you actually get a curl command with the actual post url, as well as all the header parameters that were passed to it to be able to simulate this on your local development environment. This makes it very easy for the developer to be able to see what's going on.

Wallarm Announces the Early Release of Its Enhanced API Security Technology

Wallarm | January 23, 2023

Wallarm, a leading end-to-end API security provider, has recently announced the early release of the Wallarm API leak management solution, an improved API security technology designed to assist organizations in identifying and remediating attacks exploiting leaked API keys and secrets while also providing ongoing protection against hacks in the event of a leak. Given the recent increase in hacks involving leaked API keys and other API secrets, Wallarm developed the API leak management solution in order to give a comprehensive solution for this issue by automatically detecting leaked API keys and secrets, implementing controls to prevent their use, and protecting against any follow-on attacks. As a result, it prohibits unwanted access to sensitive data within enterprises while also protecting their internal operations and customers from unauthorized use of that data. With the average cost of an API leak incident being $1.2 million per year, protecting API keys is a security and financial need. However, as locating and revoking API keys is both time-consuming and resource-intensive, Wallarm's proactive API leak management solution focuses on automated detection, remediation, and control using a three-pronged approach: Detect - Wallarm automatically searches public sources for leaked API secrets, which hackers can discover and exploit in under a minute. Remediate - Regardless of protocol, Wallarm immediately blocks requests that use compromised API secrets across the entire API portfolio. Control - Wallarm also continuously monitors and prevents the use of leaked API secrets. The Wallarm API leak management solution is the first of its kind in the API security space and is coupled with other Wallarm capabilities such as API threat prevention, API discovery and cloud-native WAAP. Wallarm’s API security platform provides customers with full-spectrum visibility, detection, and security for their entire web application and API portfolio, regardless of protocol or environment. This minimizes tool sprawl and costs while also increasing risk management and fostering innovation.

Orca Announces New Capabilities to Optimize Cloud Security and Cost

Orca Security | February 17, 2023

On February 16, 2023, Orca Security, a pioneer in agentless cloud security, announced that the Orca Cloud Security Platform now includes a cloud cost optimization framework, which assists organizations in reducing unnecessary cloud consumption and optimizing cloud costs while providing unrivaled security with the deepest and broadest visibility. By using its proprietary SideScanning™ technology, Orca is now applying unparalleled insights into cloud environments, thereby allowing organizations to track and manage cloud spend. Unlike other cloud cost management tools, Orca's platform has the ability to identify more opportunities for cloud cost savings by having a deeper understanding of cloud workloads and their operations. Despite considering cost efficiency a motivator for cloud adoption, several organizations are experiencing high expenses in their monthly cloud bills, mainly due to underutilization and forgotten cloud infrastructure resources. The 2022 State of the Cloud Report by Flexera indicates that organizations lose up to 32% of their monthly cloud expenses. Orca's Cloud Cost Optimization feature addresses the problem of wasteful cloud spending by continuously aggregating relevant alerts about unnecessary cloud infrastructure spending across all supported cloud service providers. These providers include Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud. In addition, the Orca platform simplifies the cost optimization process by categorizing alerts based on cloud infrastructure that is causing excessive spending, such as virtual machines, databases, keys, and load balancers, making deallocation quick and easy for organizations. Even though Stopped VMs on Google Cloud and AWS and deallocated VMs on Azure do not incur charges, many organizations are unaware that they still incur costs for the resources associated with those VMs until they are deleted. Orca assists organizations in recognizing resources attached to stopped or deallocated VMs to avoid incurring undesired charges, including Elastic IP addresses and EBS volumes on AWS, OS and data storage disks on Azure, and persistent disks and external IP addresses on Google Cloud. About Orca Security Founded in 2019, Orca Security is a leading global firm that provides agentless cloud security solutions to hundreds of enterprises. Its Cloud Security Platform can detect, prioritize, and fix security risks and compliance issues across cloud environments such as Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes. The company's patented SideScanning™ technology and Unified Data Model make security possible for organizations moving to and scaling in the cloud and enable them to secure their cloud infrastructure while providing comprehensive coverage and visibility of all risks. With continuous first-to-market innovations, the Orca Platform ensures security teams can quickly identify and remediate risks, keeping businesses secure.
