Immuta | January 20, 2023
On January 19, 2023, Immuta, a leading data security firm, announced the launch of its latest product, Immuta Detect. Immuta Detect notifies data and security teams about unsafe data access behavior with its continuous data security monitoring capabilities, therby enabling faster and more accurate risk response and improved data security posture management across advanced and modern cloud data platforms.
The product is the new vital component of Immuta's comprehensive Data Security Platform that offers security and access control, data activity monitoring and sensitive data discovery. The platform uniquely integrates with the leading cloud data platforms along with existing SIEM and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) tools.
As data sources and users in modern cloud settings increase, monitoring data usage and responding to threats becomes more challenging. This is critical for safeguarding against insider threats and adhering to rules and regulations. Existing strategies to solve these problems include manual and time-consuming audits of millions of log data records housed in disparate data sources. To stay up with business demands, data and security teams need improved ways for monitoring data access, address issues precisely, and quickly adjust to shifting risk appetites.
With Immuta Detect, customers can swiftly surface and prioritize data usage risks, decrease time to risk mitigation, and maintain data security by utilizing the following new features:
Advanced access behavior analytics - Immuta Detect consolidates data access logs, allowing data and security teams to continuously monitor and evaluate changes in user behavior and data access entitlements by source, user activity or query, as well as get insight into changes in data classification and security configuration.
Sensitive data views and indicators – The company offers a detailed analysis of each user and data activity in depth, summarizing activity across multiple criteria such as time frame, data access event categorization, sensitive data indicators, and most active data sources.
Risk severity detection and scoring - It automatically scores data based on its sensitivity and security, thereby enabling data and security teams to prioritize risks and receive real-time notifications about potential security incidents.

IronNet, Inc. | January 05, 2023
IronNet, Inc., a pioneer in transforming cybersecurity through collective defenseSM, has announced that its network detection and response (NDR) solution, IronDefense, now has more features. IronDefense, awarded the best possible grade by SE Labs for Enterprise Advanced Security NDR Detection, enables advanced and early visibility of unidentified cybersecurity threats that have evaded endpoint and firewall detection and infiltrated the network, regardless of whether it is on-premises or in the cloud.
With IronNet's most recent NDR enhancements, Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts can use IronDefense to identify VPN misuse, including high abnormal login times, password spraying, and unsuccessful logins, all of which may be suggestive of brute force attacks or unauthorized access attempts. Additional analytics enhancements enable the identification of ongoing patterns of both randomized-timing and fixed-interval beacon activity, as well as the detection of DNS tunnels utilizing innovative encoding techniques employed by cybercriminals.
The IronNet product development team has also improved IronDefense's usability. Specifically, new sensors can now be automatically commissioned and upgraded without the intervention of SOC personnel.
IronDefense allows customers utilizing SentinelOne endpoint detection and response (EDR) to remotely establish and update network inventory and isolate a device in a SentinelOne-deployed network through the Entity page of the IronDefense user interface. CarbonBlack and Crowdstrike endpoints offer equivalent capabilities.
