FileCloud | January 11, 2023
On January 10, 2023, FileCloud announced the addition of Zero Trust File Sharing, bringing another layer of hyper-security to the market's most robust content collaboration platform. The latest, Zero Trust File Sharing, enables users to collaborate securely with employees along with other personnel, including external partners, vendors and clients.
This functionality extends beyond modulating share permissions or setting Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies. Zero Trust File Sharing will become increasingly crucial for enterprises and organizations that handle sensitive or protected data, such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Confidential Unclassified Information (CUI).
The emergence of cloud service technologies, remote access applications, and disappearing network edges have revealed multiple vulnerabilities in perimeter-based IT security models. The Zero Trust framework, built on a system of least privilege, provides a more resilient and adaptable approach that imposes identity authentication, regardless of where or how the request for access gets derived.
The U.S. Department of Defense has recently come up with a Zero Trust Strategy and Roadmap to eventually cover all U.S. government departments, which is likely to be adopted by the private sector. As a result, critical infrastructure sectors are ideal candidates for integrating Zero Trust File Sharing to protect their information systems from increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks launched by nation-states.
FileCloud's Zero Trust support enables enterprises to have an added layer of security on top of FileCloud's built-in access controls. The data within the environment is secured using a Zip file structure and password protection. The user can also set a Zero Trust password and create a sharing link to a file or folder.
The data remains inaccessible without this password, even with a shared direct link or in case of a data breach. Furthermore, the data remains protected by password-based encryption even if the Zero Trust protected folder is accessed via unauthorized means, including social engineering techniques.
Users who access the data with the Zero Trust password will also be restricted in their ability to edit or manipulate the data contained within the Zero Trust folder based on the share permissions.

Nozomi Networks | January 25, 2023
On January 24, 2023, Nozomi Networks Inc., one of the leaders in OT and IoT security, announced Nozomi ArcTM, the industry's first IoT and OT endpoint security sensor, intended to accelerate time to full operational resilience exponentially. Nozomi Arc is designed to automatically deploy across a large number of locations and devices anywhere a company needs visibility, and it provides vital data and insights about essential assets and network endpoints. This data is utilized to better analyze and prevent attacks, as well as correlate user behavior, without straining existing resources or interrupting mission-critical networks.
Arc is a game-changer in terms of comprehensive asset visibility, deployment speed, and network coverage across complex and remote OT and IT networks. Nozomi Arc is designed to:
Be deployed remotely
Analyze endpoint vulnerabilities
Accelerate monitoring deployments in mission-critical systems; and
Identify compromised hosts
Nozomi Networks Co-founder and CPO, Andrea Carcano, said, "Operational resiliency is the top business priority for critical infrastructure organizations, which can only be achieved by lowering cyber risks and increasing security." He added, "Nozomi Arc accelerates time to resiliency by transforming every computer on the network into an OT security sensor. It quickly extends visibility to attack surfaces and threats inside endpoint hosts and their local networks. With Nozomi Arc, users can quickly corollate more information from more sources for better diagnostics and faster time to response."

With Nozomi Arc, users get the following advantages:
Faster time to resiliency: Nozomi Arc removes time, resource, geographic, and internal policy limits from network-based deployments.
Lower cyber risk and increased security: The only OT solution in the market that can identify malicious hardware.
Extended visibility and context: In addition to illuminating additional assets, devices, and possible vulnerabilities, Arc detects process irregularities and questionable user behavior.
Lower operational overhead: Because Arc can be remotely deployed through a software download, Nozomi Arc does not need extensive network adjustments to be implemented anywhere in the world, even in the most remote locations.
