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.

CyberMaxx, Inc., a tech-enabled cybersecurity services company, today introduced MaxxMDR, its revamped managed detection and response (MDR) solution. MaxxMDR provides enhanced protection through an advanced detection library proprietary to CyberMaxx developed through the company's comprehensive DFIR, offensive security, and threat hunting research.
Traditional MDR tools and processes only provide a base-level of protection. By supplementing a SIEM or EDR tool's default detections library with advanced insights gained from its offensive and DFIR work, MaxxMDR strengthens an organization's defenses and enables them to catch more advanced threats. This provides customers with a strong partnership for a comprehensive offensive and defensive approach to securing their environments.
MaxxMDR empowers organizations to monitor and manage cyber risk through:
24 x 7 x 365 SOC: around-the-clock monitoring and response by CyberMaxx Security Operations Center of experts
Custom Detection Library: derived from years of experience and working closely with our DFIR and Offensive security teams across a diverse set of customers
Purpose-built: purpose-built platforms designed with SOAR in mind
Endpoint security (EDR): partnership with industry-leading endpoint security providers like SentinelOne and Crowdstrike
Proprietary Advanced Analytics Platform: cloud-native analytics platform for better integration with SAAS and IAAS
Full Visibility: full stack visibility of your assets both on-premise and in the cloud
Faster & Better Quality: improved mean time to recovery (MTTR) and reduced false positives through automation and orchestration
Additionally, MaxxMDR is offered through a flexible deployment model available in both managed and co-managed environments. The managed solution is delivered on a proprietary analytics engine for organizations looking for a fully outsourced solution. The co-managed solution is delivered on a third-party SIEM either licensed by CyberMaxx or the customer and allows the customer more control and access.
"The speed and pace of evolving threats today requires a new approach to defensive security," said Michael Quattrochi, CyberMaxx's SVP of Defensive Security. "Traditional MDR solutions too often aren't able to detect modern threats because they are based on legacy insights. By empowering MaxxMDR with real-time insights into active threats from our offensive and DFIR work we are enabling customers to better keep pace with their adversaries and strengthen their defensive posture."
MaxxMDR bundles
CyberMaxx helps customers strengthen their security posture by offering both offensive and defensive security solutions together. The MDR bundles strengthen MDR detection with insights from offensive solutions and provides a uniform customer experience at a competitive investment level.

Interos Inc | March 10, 2023
On March 9, 2023, Interos, one of the leading operational resilience companies creating the world's strongest, safest, and most secure supply chains, announced the introduction of its upgraded cyber risk factor, a part of its i-ScoreTM measurement of operational resilience.
The Interos i-Score is the first of its kind resilience score that assesses the health of extended supply chains against multiple risk factors, such as restriction, financial, geopolitical, operations/catastrophe, ESG, and cyber.
The i-Score update includes an innovative cyber behavior model to detect potentially harmful cyber activity irrespective of public disclosure, commercial cyber ratings, threat assessment (Mitre ATT&CK®), vulnerability information (CVEs), regulatory compliance, cyber events, and operating country issues into a single score.
This advancement directs cyber risk and procurement managers to their multi-tiered vendors most exposed to ransomware, breaches, data leakage, and other cyber-attacks carried out by malicious attackers who target suppliers concealed in the extended global supply chain. Interos's 2022 Resilience study of 1,500 cybersecurity and procurement leaders found that cyber incidents cause supply chain disruptions that cost businesses $37M each year.
Andrea Little Limbago, SVP, Research & Analysis, Interos, said, "This is another crucial step forward in helping organizations achieve operational resilience." She further mentioned, "We've added new, proprietary models that integrate and assess data on cloud-based risk exposure, evaluate anomalous cyber behavior, measure regulatory compliance risks and more. It's designed to deliver better and faster information to CPOs partnering with CISOs — who are increasingly being held accountable for collective cyber resilience — to respond to more frequent and severe supply chain cyberattacks, with enhanced monitoring of vendors and third-party service providers."
