Flashpoint, the globally trusted leader in risk intelligence, today announced an expansion of its partnership with Google Cloud to deploy next-generation intelligence solutions, including generative AI, within the Flashpoint product suite. This initiative will revolutionize how organizations detect security threats and reduce risk, in support of better, faster, and more intuitive decision making.
As part of this collaboration, Flashpoint is working to leverage Google Cloud’s generative AI technology to move from the boolean search-based interaction model that the intelligence industry uses today to a natural, conversation-based experience. By supporting a conversational approach to intelligence research, organizations will be able to maximize the value of their intelligence investment—helping them get more out of their security and intelligence teams, close the cybersecurity skills gap, and rapidly mitigate risk. With past security ML innovations and last year’s acquisition of Mandiant, Google is uniquely positioned to empower security generative AI use cases.
The upcoming release of Flashpoint’s conversational intelligence capability will expand upon Flashpoint’s use of Google Cloud Vertex AI services such as Vision AI and Translation AI to provide industry-leading AI-driven intelligence innovations, including the processing and contextualizing of images and videos through optical character recognition (OCR) and in-platform video search, as well as the use of Google’s BigQuery and Looker to accelerate enrichment, analysis, and visualizations within the Flashpoint platform. Among other wins, these innovations have led to the prevention of millions of dollars of fraud each week, along with the mitigation of physical and cyber risks in industries ranging from financial services, technology, retail, and national security.
“We are thrilled to work with Google Cloud to leverage their AI expertise in support of the Flashpoint Intelligence Platform and our customers,” said Josh Lefkowtiz, CEO of Flashpoint. “With this collaboration, we aim to empower organizations with faster and more comprehensive insights into potential cyber, physical, and fraud threats, enabling them to stay one step ahead in the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity.”
This partnership expansion signifies Flashpoint’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible by applying artificial intelligence to risk intelligence. Both Flashpoint and Google Cloud share a common vision of helping our customers make smarter decisions with data to protect what’s important by creating smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable solutions to address the growing demands of our digital era. With these innovations, Flashpoint is poised to expand its leading position in the risk intelligence market to power the next wave of technological breakthroughs. This partnership exemplifies the companies' shared dedication to driving innovation and building a better, more connected future for all.

Orca Security, the pioneer of agentless cloud security, today announced its full integration with Microsoft Azure OpenAI GPT-4. The integration builds on the ChatGPT implementation in the Orca Cloud Security platform announced in January and makes it the first cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) to support GPT-4 through the Azure OpenAI Service. In addition to the integration, Orca announced several new features for its ChatGPT integration.
The Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service provides REST API access to OpenAI's ChatGPT technology. With this new Microsoft integration, Orca Security customers can benefit not only from the greatly improved functionality in GPT-4, but also from the security and enterprise support that Microsoft provides. This includes the benefits of privacy of customer data submitted to the service, compliance with key regulations such as HIPAA and SOC2, an uptime SLA of 99.9%, and regional availability for lower latency and increased reliability.
Since introducing GPT-3 support in the Orca Platform in January, customers have used it to dramatically reduce their mean-time-to-remediation (MTTR). Security practitioners can instantly generate high-quality remediation instructions for each alert straight from the Orca Platform. These instructions can simply be copied and pasted into platforms such as Terraform, Pulumi, AWS CloudFormation, AWS Cloud Development Kit, Azure Resource Manager, Google Cloud Deployment Manager, and Open Policy Agent. If more information is needed, users can ask ChatGPT follow-up questions directly from the Orca Platform. With the transition to GPT-4, customers will benefit from the model’s improved accuracy as well as its ability to generate code snippets.
“The customer response to our integration with GPT has been incredibly positive,” said Gil Geron, CEO at Orca Security. “It’s been amazing to see customers embrace it in so many ways to gain dramatic efficiency improvements. With our integration with GPT-4 through the Azure OpenAI Service, we continue to improve accuracy and ensure privacy to protect our customers’ data while maximizing its benefit.”
In addition to transitioning from GPT-3 to Azure OpenAI GPT-4, Orca made several other enhancements to its integration, including prompt improvements to ensure further optimization of remediation responses; a new Open Policy Agent (OPA) remediation method; and the ability to include remediation steps in Jira tickets when assigning cloud security issues.
The Azure OpenAI GPT-4 integration is available immediately. To learn more, please read the blog post published today.

GuidePoint Security, a cybersecurity solutions leader enabling organizations to make smarter decisions and minimize risk, announced today that Cequence Security, the leading provider of Unified API Protection (UAP), has joined its Emerging Cyber Vendor Program. Through this partnership, Cequence Security will leverage GuidePoint’s federal expertise across sales and marketing, operations, engineering and procurement to expand their federal footprint. As part of this program, the Cequence Unified API Protection solution will soon be available under GuidePoint’s GSA Multiple Award Schedule Contract #GS-35F-508CA.
“While APIs are critical to enabling business, they have become a primary attack surface that must be protected,” said Jim Quarantillo, Federal Partner, GuidePoint Security. “Simply putting API gateways and WAFs in place to manage known APIs and known threats does not solve the API security issues to keep Government Agency data safe. A Unified API Protection solution that discovers, detects and defends against all API vulnerabilities, risks and threats is required.”
“Cequence Security is the only solution that protects organizations from every type of attack on the OWASP API Security Top 10, OWASP Web Application Security Top 10 and OWASP Automated Threat list,” said Mark Azad, Chief Revenue Officer, Cequence Security. “Through our partnership with GuidePoint Security, government agencies will have a complete solution for addressing all API risks.”
With the Cequence Unified API Protection (UAP) solution, customers can address every phase of their API protection lifecycle to defend APIs from attackers and eliminate unknown and unmitigated API security risks that can lead to API breaches, data loss, fraud, and business disruption. Security teams deploying the UAP solution achieve continuous protection of their complete API risk surface, enabling their organizations to reap the competitive and business advantages of ubiquitous API connectivity securely while meeting regulatory compliance.
