Cylitic Security Chooses Swimlane to Deliver Enterprise-Grade Security Automation Services at Scale

Cylitic Security, a cyber security services provider, announced that it has chosen Swimlane, the leader in cloud-scale low-code security automation, to scale up its security operations.

Cylitic is pioneering a comprehensive managed security service to help small to medium-sized businesses successfully fight off sophisticated cyberattacks.

On average, Fortune 100 companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars annually on dedicated professional cybersecurity analysts, complicated tools, and technologies to continuously monitor their networks looking for anomalies and act in real-time to mitigate threats. Unfortunately, these capabilities are not always realistic for smaller entities. Security talent is expensive and sparse. Some cybersecurity technology vendors won't sell to smaller entities, which is also a disadvantage.

Yet, cybersecurity is not a concern only prevalent amongst large-scale enterprises--nor are the associated challenges with keeping an organization secure. Cybersecurity is an industry-wide concern for businesses of all shapes and sizes. Deploying security automation systems can bring the sophistication of enterprise-scale systems to the SMB customer. Low-code security automation provides a robust application development capability for use cases that can be solved with simple drag-and-drop data entry and business logic to extremely complex, sophisticated solutions that meet the needs of the entire organization. Cylitic's purpose is to bring advanced security capabilities and expertise to small to medium-sized customers who normally otherwise wouldn't have this access. Cylitic is leveling the playing field against threat adversaries who specifically target smaller organizations.

"We are excited to be partnering with Swimlane. Their platform allows us to scale our security service even further and helps us protect tens of thousands of mission-critical systems for smaller organizations. Technology like Swimlane is common in large, sophisticated Fortune ranked companies and Government agencies. This is yet another piece of the puzzle for Cylitic to democratize the state of technology and tactics for smaller organizations that don't have experienced cybersecurity teams," said Andrew Thornton, Cylitic Security's Chief Security Officer.

"Today, every company is a technology company,Moreover, every company is experiencing the impacts of a global talent shortage, and simultaneously, security is having an unprecedented impact on businesses and their bottom line, making cybersecurity a company-wide issue. Together, Swimlane and Cylitic are bringing the power of the low-code security automation to the SMB market, providing a customer-first approach by combining security technology integrations with industry best practices to create market-ready solutions that accelerate time-to-value."

Fortinet, the worldwide cybersecurity leader driving the integration of networking and security, has announced new enhancements to its market-leading single-vendor Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) offering. FortiSASE already shields the hybrid workforce using a unified agent and includes SD-WAN integration for the branch. This solidifies FortiSASE's position as the market's most comprehensive offering. The list of Fortinet extended SASE solutions: SASE for Microbranches and IoT/OT Devices: FortiSASE now offers expanded integrations within the Fortinet wireless local-area network (WLAN) suite to aid organizations in securing microbranches and associated devices. FortiAP wireless access points intelligently offload traffic from microbranches to a SASE point of presence (POP) for scalable security inspection of all devices, including IoT and OT devices. This integration also implies that the Fortinet WLAN portfolio can be managed by the same straightforward, cloud-based management console customers already use for FortiSASE. Enhanced Data Loss Prevention Service: As a component of its cloud-delivered security services, FortiSASE includes the FortiGuard-powered Data Loss Prevention (DLP) service to safeguard sensitive data across the entire hybrid environment. This service now consists of a broader range of file types, data identifiers, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, along with sophisticated data matching techniques to prevent accidental data breaches.

Juniper Networks Unveils the Industry’s First Distributed Security Services Architecture for Unmatched Scalability and Operational Simplicity

Business Wire | October 20, 2023

Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), the leader in secure, AI-driven networks, today announced the expansion of its Connected Security portfolio with new products and capabilities that empower organizations to seamlessly extend security services and Zero Trust policies across distributed data center environments. The new Juniper Connected Security Distributed Services Architecture uniquely integrates Juniper’s unified security management paradigm with best-in-class routing and AI-Predictive Threat Prevention to bring much-needed operational simplicity and scale to data center security. In addition, four new high-performance firewall platforms deliver unmatched performance in a compact footprint that minimizes cost, space and power consumption. With the adoption of edge computing, multicloud, 5G and IoT, business data is increasingly distributed across geographically dispersed locations, making it harder to secure and manage. To adapt to this changing environment, organizations need a new modern data center architecture that delivers reliability through automated data center operations, scalable performance to support the most stringent workloads (e.g., AI model training) and comprehensive data security, regardless of where the data resides. The newest enhancements to Juniper’s Connected Security portfolio provide a secure bridge for customers to facilitate their transition to a modern data center, at their own pace. This is achieved via the following unique innovations: Juniper’s Connected Security Distributed Services Architecture: Juniper is the first in the industry to deliver an architecture design that fully decouples the forwarding and security services layers that have traditionally been combined in a single firewall appliance. By decoupling these layers, customers can utilize their existing Juniper MX series routers as an intelligent forwarding engine and load balancer. This unique design gives customers independent scaling flexibility without chassis limitations, multi-path resiliency and cost efficiency. When coupled with Juniper Security Director Cloud, the operational experience is as simple as managing one logical element, regardless of the quantities and form factors of any additional firewall engines added to the architecture. AI-Predictive Threat Prevention: Building on Juniper’s Adaptive Threat Profiling and Encrypted Traffic Insights, AI-Predictive Threat Prevention automatically generates custom signatures unique to the customer’s environment through a proxy-less architecture. Coupled with AI, customers gain even more effective malware prevention at line rate. Additionally, the enhanced URL filtering solution provides more granular control, with more than 200 categories to choose from and support for up to 200 languages, as well as a new portal for better insights on web content and easy recategorization. The AI-powered security solution enables customers and partners to predict and find real threats faster, leaving human experts to focus on more strategic security tasks. Four new best-in-class high-performance firewalls: The new Juniper Networks SRX firewalls (SRX1600, SRX2300, SRX4300, SRX4700) are 1RU in size, scale up to 1.4 Tbps and include built-in Zero Trust capabilities, delivering the industry’s highest firewall throughput performance per rack unit. The new platforms feature wire-speed MACsec along with natively embedded TPM 2.0 chips and cryptographically signed device IDs that allow security administrators and network operators to easily verify the trust posture of devices remotely and mitigate the risks of supply chain attacks. These new firewalls, like the whole SRX family, support industry-standard EVPN-VXLAN Type 5 integration, providing full fabric awareness to security operators and allowing them to respond to threats faster. When combined with Juniper’s Connected Security Distributed Services Architecture, these additions to the Juniper SRX series family offer customers even more options to build and expand their data center architectures securely and with sustainability objectives top of mind.
