Red Sift Partners with SMX to Provide End-to-End Cloud Email Security to Organizations in Australia and New Zealand

Red Sift | May 09, 2022

Red Sift
Red Sift, provider of the only integrated cloud email security and brand protection platform, today announced a strategic partnership with SMX, the cybersecure email specialist, to help enterprises in Australia and New Zealand strengthen their email security posture and threat protection. Through this exclusive arrangement, Red Sift’s best-in-class Reporting Platform integrates with SMX’s new Domain Protection Service (DPS) to deliver a new joint DMARC implementation offering, helping customers improve email threat monitoring and agility in responding to threats. Red Sift and SMX will be showcasing their joint offering at AusCERT 2022 in Broadbeach, Australia, May 10-13 (booth #B19).

SMX’s DPS service enables enterprises to maintain an effective DMARC implementation, using Red Sift’s best-in-class Reporting Platform to identify, quantify, and respond in real-time to dynamic threats. Red Sift’s real-time reporting provides vital data that allows SMX to deliver their expertise in refining the security profile and manage SMX DPS deployments effectively across an enterprise’s domains. SMX’s expertise, coupled with Red Sift’s reporting capabilities, provides the level of agility and monitoring required to keep up with today’s email threat landscape.

“Every company in Australasia has a unique threat environment and clients increasingly want a region-specific, locally designed and supported approach to cyber security,” says Richard Fraser, CEO of SMX. “Our DMARC managed service, DPS, made possible through this strategic partnership with Red Sift, provides clients with the tailored protection profile required to respond in real-time to dynamic threats, and will enhance email cyber-security throughout Australia and New Zealand.”

According to Gartner, 90% of the Global 2000 will have DMARC in place by 2026. As email threats continue to evolve and become increasingly complex, it is more important now than ever before that enterprises establish a streamlined and sustainable DMARC implementation process that can be easily updated to reflect today’s dynamic digital environment. With the Red Sift and SMX partnership, enterprises now have access to an end-to-end email threat monitoring service, powered by real-time reporting with actionable insights that enable them to maximize their agility in quantifying and responding to threats. As a result, customers have greater confidence in their DMARC implementation and overall email security posture.

“SMX shares our mission to provide enterprises with the solutions necessary to proactively protect their business and brand reputation from email security threats, rather than ‘mopping up’ after an attack. Our partnership with SMX enables us to help more organizations in Australia and New Zealand strengthen their DMARC implementations, and we’re excited to continue to scale globally in partnership with SMX.”

Cameron McLean, Regional Manager, Asia Pacific, Red Sift

Experts from Red Sift and SMX will be on hand at booth #B19 at AusCERT 2022 to showcase their joint DMARC managed service for enterprises.

Check Point Software Technologies Bolsters Endpoint Security with Enhanced Posture Management to Tackle Escalating Vulnerability Exploits

Globenewswire | May 15, 2023

Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions globally announced today the expansion of its Check Point Harmony Endpoint protections solution by incorporating vulnerability and automated patch management capabilities. This enhancement addresses the mounting number of cyberattacks that exploit unpatched system vulnerabilities for unauthorized access. To deliver this advanced feature, Check Point has joined forces with Ivanti, integrating Ivanti Patch Management to assess and remediate software vulnerabilities from cloud to edge, into Check Point's Harmony Endpoint protection solution. The National Vulnerability Database reported over 25,000 vulnerabilities in 2022, with this figure expected to rise. Furthermore, a recent Dark Reading report revealed that 57% of ransomware attacks capitalize on unpatched vulnerabilities, highlighting the necessity of addressing this issue to defend against such threats. However, vulnerability patching is often a complex and time-consuming process. Many organizations lack insight into their environment's vulnerability status, and even when they do, patching takes an average of 97 days, according a report of the Ponemon Institute. This delay provides ample opportunities for attackers to exploit these weaknesses. To tackle this challenge, Check Point is enhancing its endpoint security solution, Harmony Endpoint, with vulnerability assessment and automated patch management capabilities. This will equip Harmony Endpoint users with an intelligent, automated process that minimizes the attack surface and boosts operational efficiency by: Automatically scanning organizational endpoints with minimal performance impact Providing comprehensive visibility into the status of all devices, saving valuable time for IT and security teams Auto-patching vulnerabilities and implementing security policies to ensure a secure and uninterrupted workflow. "We are excited to enhance our endpoint security solution with vulnerability assessment and automated patch management capabilities," says Ofir Israel, VP of Threat Prevention at Check Point, "This added value complements Harmony Endpoint's existing offerings of Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), and other advanced security features. Our customers now have the tools they need to swiftly identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, all from a unified platform." “We are thrilled to partner with Check Point and collaborate to offer customers the highest level of endpoint protection,” said Michelle Hodges, Senior Vice President of Global Channels and Alliances at Ivanti. “We both understand that patch management is a critical component of any cybersecurity program and enhances the overall security posture for our customers by ensuring all systems are updated with the latest application updates, fixes, and patches. At Ivanti, we are committed to providing innovative solutions that empower our partners to strengthen their businesses and safeguard our customers.” By delivering a comprehensive endpoint security solution, Check Point enables organizations to defend against a broad spectrum of cyber threats and stay ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape.

CyberArk Identity Flows Accelerates Cybersecurity Risk Response

Businesswire | May 10, 2023

CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), the global leader in Identity Security, today announced enhancements to its CyberArk Identity Flows orchestration solution, including new integrations with Gurucul, Proofpoint and SentinelOne. Part of the CyberArk Identity Security Platform, CyberArk Identity Flows automates risk response tasks and processes through no-code app integrations and workflows, and improves response times, efficiency and productivity. CyberArk Identity Flows includes a user-friendly workflow builder with powerful integration and orchestration capabilities for identity-related business processes, data management and security event responses. New features enable organizations to orchestrate complex responses to a potential threat or security event and act on the valuable data provided by threat monitoring and alerting systems. For example, when a security alert is triggered due to continued failed login attempts, users can be automatically moved into a “risky persons” group to restrict access to specific resources. This feature can also automatically notify relevant parties of the risk, create IT tickets, or take other actions based on security policies. The new technology integrations, available on CyberArk Marketplace, expand these capabilities to work with the industry’s leading threat detection systems, including: Gurucul Security Analytics and Operations Platform – detects threats and provides analytics-driven risk scoring to quickly identify and prioritize new, emerging and unknown threats. CyberArk Identity Flows can gather the risk score from Gurucul and orchestrate appropriate responses and actions to reduce the manual effort associated with threat investigation and remediation while securing the associated identity(s). Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) – detects email threats and assigns a level of risk to individuals with a Very Attacked People (VAP) feature. CyberArk Identity Flows can utilize the insights provided by Proofpoint to orchestrate appropriate responses such as moving identities into different groups to change access permissions, change an authentication policy, send alerts, post notifications or create IT tickets. SentinelOne Singularity Platform – detects and hunts for threats across user endpoints, containers, cloud workloads and IoT devices. When risks are detected, CyberArk Identity Flows leverages that context to make decisions within workflow actions that need to take place across the identity infrastructure. With CyberArk Identity Flows, workflows can be built in minutes through a user-friendly visual editor and thousands of pre-built connectors to more than 700 applications. CyberArk Identity Flows now also integrates with CyberArk Identity Security Intelligence, a shared service of the CyberArk Identity Security Platform that leverages user behavior analytics to detect and remediate anomalous and risky activity by employees. When high-risk behavior is detected, CyberArk Identity Flows is used to orchestrate response actions to reduce response times to attacks to minimize risk. “Flexible automation and orchestration are critical to a proactive Identity Security program and vital to improving the security posture of our clients. That’s why we’ve been so focused on delivering new CyberArk Identity Flows innovations,” said Peretz Regev, chief product officer at CyberArk. “With these enhancements and integrations, we make it simple for organizations to use CyberArk Identity Flows to reduce IT overhead, accelerate service agility and strengthen their overall security, ultimately improving operational efficiencies.” CyberArk Identity Flows can be purchased as a standalone solution, or as part of the CyberArk Identity Security Platform. CyberArk applies intelligent privilege controls to all identities – human and machine – with continuous threat detection and prevention across the entire identity lifecycle. With the CyberArk Identity Security Platform, organizations can enable Zero Trust and least privilege with complete visibility, enabling every identity to securely access any resource, located anywhere, from everywhere.
