Nozomi Networks Introduces the Industry’s First OT and IoT Endpoint Security Sensor

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.

GoSecure Releases Titan Identity for Enhanced Identity and Access System Security

GoSecure | February 16, 2023

On February 15, 2023, GoSecure, a leading Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) and proficient advisory services provider, announced the release of Titan Identity, a solution combining technology with managed services to offer an affordable and immediately deployable solution that can help organizations to measurably enhance response times to credential theft. GoSecure Titan Identity is a detection service specifically designed to significantly minimize the time required to detect and respond to assaults aimed at enterprise identity systems such as Microsoft Active Directory. By employing real-time analysis of Active Directory and other event log data, the Titan Identity's alert technology with low false positives allows Incident Response teams to effectively utilize existing workflow systems and react promptly to commonplace but hazardous attacks that occur after the initial foothold, thereby ensuring the safeguarding of crucial business assets. The Key benefits of this service include the following: Significantly reduced response and detection times by enabling the Incident Response team to have continuous and ongoing visibility into identity attacks across enterprise hosts, virtual machines, servers, containers, desktops, and laptops. Improved return on previous (SOAR)/ (SIEM) investments by leveraging the SIEM infrastructure, facilitating new SOAR playbooks with automated actions, and permitting the use of out-of-SIEM logs that surpass indexing and storage budget. Increased productivity for analysts by significantly minimizing the occurrence of false positives, eliminating the need for an additional user interface, and providing alerts with enriched messages. Enabled verifiable accuracy through automated and continuous testing and quantification of performance. Reduced deployment and change costs by avoiding network probes and sensors. Improved internal team's capabilities by granting access to a team of data scientists for expanding identity attack detection capabilities. Titan Identity is different from other anomaly or signature-based detection systems and is made up of over 30 distinct detectors and finely tuned machine learning models that are continuously evaluated to significantly minimize false positives, delivering high confidence alerts in mere seconds. The design facilitates the replacement of manual workflows with automation, capable of functioning with remarkable assurance. This flexible and adaptable service is complemented by the access of data science experts who ensure the accuracy and measurability of results via ongoing data flow monitoring, detector development, and detector performance tuning services.

Virtru Joins NIST NCCoE Data Security Consortium

Virtru | March 03, 2023

On March 2, 2023, Virtru, a prominent figure in data-centric security and privacy, announced its involvement in NIST's National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) Data Classification Practices: Facilitating Data-Centric Security Management initiative. As part of a team of global technology leaders, Virtru will collaborate with NIST to develop recommended data classification and data-centric security practices, which will protect data while supporting business practices and transactions. The goal of this collaborative effort is to promote data-centric security on a larger scale. As systems become more mobile, dispersed and shared across different environments and stewardship, traditional network-centric security measures are increasingly ineffective at protecting information. Data-centric security aims to safeguard data at the object level by securing it directly rather than simply securing the systems and networks that store and transmit it. Organizations employing this approach can identify their data, its characteristics, and the security and privacy requirements needed to control and protect it fully. Virtru has a long-standing history of partnering with the public- and private-sector organizations to achieve data-centric security, serving the federal intelligence community, the largest financial institutions globally, and over 8,000 organizations worldwide. Virtru's technology enables organizations to enforce policy, encryption and access controls directly to data being transmitted via files, emails and SaaS applications while allowing organizations to manage their encryption keys for complete control and data sovereignty. Virtru's Chief Technology Officer, Will Ackerly, commented, "Data-centric security is central to everything we do at Virtru," He further emphasized, "Our goal is to enable the mission — that means moving data freely, but securely. Being a member of NIST's NCCoE Data Classification project is a manifestation of more than a decade of hard work. By tagging data appropriately, we can help ensure public- and private-sector organizations can trust that their data will be used and shared appropriately, just as the data creator intended. This is vital to the future of collaboration." (Source – Globe Newswire) About Virtru Virtru is a leading data security and privacy solutions provider.
