CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), the global leader in Identity Security, announced today that Taiwan-based Gamania Group has implemented the CyberArk Identity Security Platform to strengthen its cybersecurity defenses. Gamania Group’s businesses span payment services, e-commerce, online media, original content and IT and serves over 10 million gamers, customers and employees.
Gamania Group’s flagship business – Gamania, an online and mobile games publisher – developed and runs some of the world’s most popular online games. With its large customer base, Gamania must balance a positive and rewarding gaming experience, while protecting users from being victimized by malicious actors who could be seeking to cause damage or extract money from the business and its customers. Other businesses in the group, such as the GASH online payment system and GAMA PAY e-payment service – the first of its kind in Taiwan – have also been prime targets for cyber attackers.
Gamania Group tasked Digicentre, an IT services business specializing in cybersecurity and borne out of Gamania’s former IT and security department, to build a robust cybersecurity defense strategy for the entire group. After extensive research, CyberArk was selected for its robust privileged access management and endpoint privilege management capabilities.
“Protecting privileged access has become a core component of Gamania Group’s cybersecurity strategy,” said Paul Ding, general manager of Digicentre. “We believe the focus now should be on individual identity and access, especially since the traditional perimeter no longer exists.”
CyberArk Privileged Access Manager and CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, part of the CyberArk Identity Security Platform, will enable Gamania Group to:
Automatically discover and onboard human identities, privileged credentials and secrets
Centralize policy management so admins can manage passwords and user access securely and efficiently
Remove local admin rights and enforce least privilege across the group
Implement foundational endpoint security controls across multiple platforms
The CyberArk Identity Security Platform has helped reduce the potential impact of cyberattacks by quickly detecting, analyzing and containing potential threats and protecting access to critical data and assets to reduce services disruption.
“CyberArk has allowed Gamania Group to significantly improve its cybersecurity posture,” said Ding. “We now have greater insight about what is needed to mitigate risks. In addition, we have seen improvements to our security management operations with better efficiency and productivity from the significantly reduced number of alerts the systems generate. We look forward to experiencing more benefits as we extend the implementation of CyberArk across our group.”
Built for the dynamic enterprise, the CyberArk Identity Security Platform enables secure access for any identity — human or machine — to any resource or environment from anywhere, using any device.
“CyberArk is pleased to help Gamania Group boost defenses against cyber threats across its businesses, detecting and mitigating incidents to keep gamers, customers and employees better protected,” said Vincent Goh, president, APJ at CyberArk. “We look forward to continuing our support of Gamania in its journey towards implementing an increasingly pervasive, robust and efficient cybersecurity platform.”

DATA SECURITY, PLATFORM SECURITY, SOFTWARE SECURITY
Prnewswire | April 25, 2023
Cyera, the data security company, today unveiled revolutionary new operational capabilities in its AI-powered data security platform. The company's industry-first Unified Data Explorer provides an intuitive and easy way for security teams to understand where they manage data across their cloud landscape, and pinpoint sensitive data exposures to reduce their attack surface. To address real-time data exfiltration and sensitive exposures Cyera is announcing unified Data Detection and Response (DDR) to extend their Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) capability. Security practitioners can quickly and easily take action to remediate security exposures, and stop sensitive data exfiltration in real time.
"Cyera impressed us with the ease with which we were able to understand exactly what data we are managing, where that data is stored, and how it is accessed," said Anthony Cunha, CISO at Mercury Financial. "Their platform allowed us to minimize the sensitive data we manage, improve our security posture, and assure compliance."
Cyera's Unified Data Explorer allows security practitioners to deep dive into their company's data. This builds upon the deep context Cyera develops on data, and includes critical insights into security exposures, how specific data classes are distributed across cloud environments and regions, who can access the data, and the security controls that are in place. For example, the Unified Data Explorer highlights where a specific combination of data becomes identifiable. This occurs when data that is typically non-sensitive becomes highly sensitive due to its proximity to personal identifiers protected by privacy or compliance statutes. The Unified Data Explorer also enables security teams to understand who has access to a particular type of sensitive data to govern access and avoid misuse. For example, highlighting which users have access to PCI, HIPAA, or NYDFS protected data across cloud providers and environments, and remediating overly permissive access or a lack of encryption or tokenization that could lead to a breach. The solution also enables security teams to ensure that a company's employees are not abusing generative AI capabilities like ChatGPT. By dynamically developing this level of detail, Cyera pinpoints and remediates data security exposures, including misconfigurations, distribution, access issues and more.
With multi cloud DDR, Cyera now identifies data exfiltration and exposures as they occur. This adds operational security capabilities to power incident response across SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS environments. Multi cloud DDR detects and remediates data exposure, configuration changes, non-sanctioned data access, and data exfiltration events as they happen across cloud platforms. For example, if a sensitive data store is made public, Cyera detects the configuration change and remediates the exposure. If a threat actor attempts to migrate data outside of the customer's cloud account or SaaS application, Cyera detects the exfiltration and immediately raises an alert. This includes the full context of the data, its sensitivity, the user, and the relevant privacy or regulatory framework violation so incident responders can take swift, decisive action to limit the impact of the breach.
"In order to secure data, organizations must have a dynamic, detailed understanding of what it represents no matter where it is managed," said Yotam Segev, Cyera's CEO and co-founder. "Cyera is working with hundreds of security teams to build a unified data security platform to secure data across a multi cloud landscape. I am confident that our ability to support proactive, real-time, and incident response data security needs will be game changing for customers."
