Lookout Announces Industry’s Only Endpoint to Cloud Security Platform

Lookout, Inc., a business specializing in endpoint-to-cloud security, has announced enhanced capabilities and feature updates to its award-winning Lookout Cloud Security Platform, the only endpoint-to-cloud security solution available on the market. In addition to cloud, internet, and private applications, the cloud-native platform now includes a single policy architecture for administration and enforcement across all mobile devices.

A single agent and a single control plane for mobile and cloud security services are also new platform upgrades, providing IT and security professionals with a cost-effective, streamlined administration experience. In addition, the Lookout Cloud Security Platform combines security service edge (SSE) with endpoint security to secure users and data regardless of location.

It constantly monitors the risk posture of devices and users to provide dynamic and granular zero-trust access based on the sensitivity level of applications and data. As a result, it enables organizations to protect their workers, devices, applications, and data from unauthorized access and modern internet-based threats. In addition, the extended platform enables clients to make more educated choices about cloud security services using threat data from mobile endpoints.

Lookout CEO, Jim Dolce, said, "Digital transformation and the significant adoption of the cloud have accelerated remote work and the use of mobile and unmanaged devices, which in turn exposes organizations to new security gaps that are ripe for exploitation from bad actors." He added, "Lookout's mission is to secure and empower the digital future where mobility and cloud are essential to all that we do for work and play; our endpoint to cloud security platform ensures that your data is protected – regardless of device, user or location."

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.

SANS Security Awareness | February 21, 2023

On February 20, 2023, SANS Security Awareness, a subsidiary of the SANS Institute, announced the release of "Security Essentials for IT Administrators," a new short-form technical training program. This series offers a comprehensive overview of cybersecurity fundamentals, aimed primarily at those with a foundational grasp of network administration and/or IT systems to keep them updated and informed in the ever-changing cybersecurity space.

The product line is available to enterprises seeking to improve their security preparedness and awareness by purchasing directly from SANS Security Awareness or via Microsoft's 'Defender for Office 365' bundle. John Byrne, General Manager of SANS Security Awareness, said, "The launch of the Security Essentials for IT Administrators course marks an exciting chapter in our mission to deliver high-quality security training to professionals in the industry, especially to these users who carry unique risk because of their privileged access and advanced skill set."

DoControl Releases Its SaaS Security Platform on AWS Marketplace

DoControl | February 03, 2023

On February 2, 2023, DoControl, a leading automated software-as-a-service (SaaS) security provider, announced the release of its no-code SaaS security platform on AWS Marketplace, an online catalog that simplifies the provisioning, procurement, and governance of third-party data, software and services. The platform enables joint customers to better protect their business-critical assets by setting up a foundational layer of preventative data access security controls directly through the AWS Marketplace. Individual SaaS applications' native security features are usually poor and do not provide a consistent way to apply data access controls across all SaaS application types. DoControl provides a single security strategy that centralizes the enforcement of least privilege - beyond the network, identity, and device levels - across the entire estate of an enterprise's SaaS applications. Customers with AWS deployments may now use DoControl solutions to safeguard all shared data and files accessed by every identity or entity, including internal employees, third-party collaborators, and third-party OAuth applications. On average, an enterprise has approximately 200 applications in use, with hundreds or thousands of internal and external collaborators. Therefore, data security is of utmost importance across these applications (file-sharing, file storage, messaging, and so on), as breaches can result in lost revenue, severe brand damage, regulatory fines and other financial consequences. DoControl offers SaaS asset management, continuous monitoring, and automated security workflows to security and IT teams to prevent data breaches. In addition, DoControl lowers the physical toil and complexity that security and IT professionals face on a daily basis by replacing manual effort with automation. About DoControl Founded in 2020, DoControl is a No-Code SaaS Security Platform that provides organizations with automated, self-service tools needed for SaaS applications data access monitoring, orchestration, and remediation. It takes a distinctive, customer-focused approach to the labor-intensive challenge of security risk management and data exfiltration prevention in popular SaaS applications. DoControl helps lower the work overload and complexity that Security and IT teams face on a daily basis by replacing manual work with automation. The company is backed by investors, including StageOne Ventures, Insight Partners, RTP Global, Cardumen Capital, and CrowdStrike's CrowdStrike Falcon Fund.
