IronNet Signs Contract to Enhance Cybersecurity of U.S. NAVSEA

IronNet | February 13, 2023

IronNet, Inc. (IronNet), a pioneer in transforming cybersecurity through collective defense℠, recently announced the execution of an initial federal contract to deliver cybersecurity services to the United States Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), the largest of the Navy's five "systems commands." The agreement was entered following the successful completion of a pilot program that provided NAVSEA with the IronNet Collective Defense Platform. As nation-state cyber threats against the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) program of the Department of Defense (DoD) continue to increase, IronNet strengthens the DIB's cybersecurity prevention and protection of third-party and supply chain cyber risk. This support corresponds with the DoD's initiatives to encourage DIB entities to provide information and share anonymized cyber threat indicators that they deem helpful for notifying the government and others in order to counter threat actor activities more effectively. The IronNet Collective Defense Platform will allow each contractor in the NAVSEA DIB program to boost its network threat visibility while also integrating them in real-time through a private IronNet Collective Defense Community for NAVSEA. Through linked alerts, automated triage, and extended hunt assistance, the IronNet Collective Defense Platform acts as an early warning system for all participating corporations and organizations, increasing network security. In addition, IronNet's platform was recently updated to increase alert fidelity and analyst workflow by strengthening embedded risk scoring for more accessible alert prioritizing. These improvements result in much lower alert loads, false positives, and a shorter time to investigate. NAVSEA will have enhanced visibility of the current threat landscape, with situational context, thanks to the IronNet Collective Defense Platform, and will be able to increase the effectiveness of existing defenses and cybersecurity solutions used by its DIB contractors. Continuous monitoring of known and undiscovered threats contributes to meeting Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) parameters. The IronNet Collective Defense Platform offers timely actionable, and relevant cyber attack intelligence earlier in case of an incursion before a threat can have a substantial impact, allowing DIB firms and the Navy to defend US Naval intellectual property better. About IronNet IronNet, founded in 2014, is a leading cybersecurity company transforming how businesses, industries, and governments safeguard their networks. It leverages the abilities of its top-tier cybersecurity operators' real-world, public and private sector, offensive and defensive cyber expertise and integrates their deep tradecraft knowledge into its industry-leading solutions to address the most complex cyber challenges affecting business today. The company's solutions use behavioral analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to assist private and public companies in discovering unexpected risks across critical infrastructure.

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. With end-to-end encryption for major data-sharing platforms like Microsoft and Google, it helps customers take charge of their data wherever it is shared. It empowers organizations to keep control of their data by ensuring that it is protected everywhere it is stored and shared. The company is trusted by over 8,000 customers worldwide and is dedicated to safeguarding their sensitive data according to the highest security standards. Its Trusted Data Format (TDF) is an industry standard that provides persistent data protection through encryption technology for data shared via email, collaboration tools, cloud environments, and enterprise SaaS applications.
