Spin.AI Expands SpinOne Platform with New SaaS Security

Spin.AI, developer of the SpinOne SaaS security platform for mission-critical SaaS apps, today announced the significant expansion of its platform with new solutions to help enterprises proactively respond to the growing challenge of protecting SaaS data. This includes new capabilities around SaaS security posture management (SSPM), SaaS data leak prevention and data loss protection (SDLP), and SaaS ransomware detection and response (SRDR), as well as new integrations with JIRA and ServiceNow, and backup support for Slack.

"The rising adoption of mission-critical SaaS applications, such as collaboration tools and CRMs, has resulted in a massive amount of new SaaS data that must be safeguarded for compliance, regulatory, and business continuity purposes,” said Dmitry Dontov, CEO and founder of Spin.AI. “The most recent enhancements to the SpinOne platform protect SaaS applications, automate manual processes, and minimize business downtime for organizations that rely on SaaS apps and SaaS data. With SpinOne, teams can reduce the time it takes to identify and remediate SaaS application risks from days and months to minutes and seconds."

SpinOne is an all-in-one, SaaS security platform that protects SaaS data for mission-critical SaaS applications, including Google Workplace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce and now Slack, by delivering full visibility and fast incident response. It eliminates fundamental security and management challenges associated with protecting SaaS data by reducing the risk of data leak and loss, saving time for SecOps teams through automation, reducing downtime and recovery costs from ransomware attacks, and improving compliance. The new platform updates include:

  • SSPM (SaaS Security Posture Management) – Offers automated security operations to help companies quickly detect and respond to misconfigurations while also providing inventory and assessment of unsanctioned third-party apps and extensions. This reduces security and compliance risks while minimizing manual workloads. SpinOne provides full visibility and control over SaaS apps, Cloud apps, Mobile apps, and browser extensions with OAuth access to collaboration tools. Additionally, SpinOne provides access to a database of 300,000+ apps and extensions assessed by its AI-driven algorithms, reducing risk assessment time from months to seconds.
  • SaaS DLP (SaaS Data Leak Prevention and Loss Protection) – Mitigates unauthorized access to sensitive SaaS data with configurable access management and advanced reporting. Recovers lost data in a matter of minutes or hours (instead of the typical weeks or months) with integrated, automated SaaS backup and rapid incident response.
  • SaaS Ransomware Detection and Response – Quickly detects and responds to in-progress ransomware attacks, minimizing downtime from an average of one month to up to 2 hours and preventing further encryption. Provides 24/7 ransomware monitoring and automated incident alerting, and can recover SaaS data in minutes, reducing recovery costs by 90%. This patented technology gives organizations the unique capability to limit files impacted and avoid throttling and API limits on recovery.
  • JIRA and ServiceNow – Integrates with JIRA and ServiceNow to create alerts and incidents automatically, streamlining security operations processes for enterprise teams by eliminating the need for manual alert creation.
  • SpinOne for Slack – Helps protect an organization’s Slack channels and messages to meet data protection and compliance requirements, ensure business continuity, and decrease recovery costs. You can easily set up automated 3x a day backup of your Slack data on AWS, GCP, Azure or BYOS.

Enterprises use multiple point products to meet their security requirements, making it challenging to manage various dashboards, invoices, and support channels. Consequently, enterprises are consolidating on platforms that address significant issues in a single solution. This all-in-one SaaS security solution is what SpinOne provides. SpinOne can efficiently substitute existing vendors or complement an enterprise’s existing security stack, reducing overhead and complexity.

“SaaS applications, such as Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 for example, have a significant number of controls and configurations,” said Davit Asatryan, Director of Product at Spin.AI. “One of the biggest challenges administrators face is configuring these applications for the best security posture. This new SpinOne update delivers the visibility needed to better understand configuration issues, set better policies, and respond faster, while aligning with existing regulations such as NIST, ISO, and SOC 2.”

SpinOne protects the SaaS applications enterprises use on a daily basis, reducing the risk of downtime due to business disruptions, ensuring business continuity, and improving compliance.

Checkmarx Introduces Codebashing 2.0, the First AppSec Solution to Boost Developer Experience and Adoption with New Gamified User Interface

Prnewswire | July 24, 2023

Checkmarx, the global leader in application security solutions, has introduced Codebashing 2.0, its latest developer AppSec learning solution, equipping development teams with all the right skills to write secure code based on their roles and needs. Now offering an enhanced integration within the Checkmarx One™ Application Security Platform, Codebashing makes learning and developer adoption of application security (AppSec) frictionless and fully integrated into the development life cycle. With digital transformation increasing demands on software development teams, AppSec has become a critical area for large enterprises to reduce business risk even as less time is available for finding and fixing vulnerabilities in applications. In the interest of productivity and speed, most development teams work within integrated development environments (IDEs) and require security teams to prioritize and focus them on fixing key vulnerabilities. "The competing pressures of application time-to-deployment and AppSec risk reduction have long plagued and challenged development teams and CISOs," said Sandeep Johri, CEO at Checkmarx. "This new version of Codebashing is a game-changer for security teams to enable and provide knowledge and trust in handling vulnerabilities fixes. Its updated integration to the Checkmarx One platform solves some of the main challenges we constantly hear from CISOs and security teams seeking to improve the developer experience while also ensuring a secure and rapid pipeline of applications. These are critical elements of a successful digital transformation as enterprises continue their migration to the cloud." Learning key concepts within their familiar workspaces and applying those concepts from the first line of code to the last across all applications can significantly lower AppSec risk while boosting productivity. Codebashing 2.0 integrates fluidly into a developer's daily routine and workflow by offering "bite-sized" learning modules through Checkmarx One plugins within the developer's IDE. Designed by some of the industry's leading AppSec security researchers and engineers, Codebashing modules upskill developers' ability to write secure code from the very first line. Codebashing 2.0 offers a new way for security teams to better engage developers for AppSec adoption through a whole new experience and new gamified user interface. It includes a new Learning Path, which is a tailored professional skill tree that enables developers to continuously cultivate their expertise, stepping beyond the confines of one-time training sessions. The Learning Path is designed to be adaptive and personalized. Developers can select their unique path based on their specializations: Back-end, Front-end, or DevOps. This custom-tailored approach ensures that each developer is guided through the secure coding learning most pertinent to their specific role and responsibilities. Security Champion Program With Codebashing 2.0, Checkmarx has introduced the first in-market program to allow large enterprises to scale its AppSec program by training and certifying personnel from the engineering team as security champions. This certificate is backed by almost 20 years of AppSec expertise and includes a predefined training and certification including: Hours of gamified and comprehensive content such as quizzes and assessments to obtain and measure knowledge transfer Best practices critically needed by Security Champions. "The CISOs of global enterprise companies among our clients have repeatedly told us that two things are critical to building trust and collaboration between security and development teams: implementation of a proper framework of AppSec skills and methodologies and creating security champions among their developers. This is why we developed the first Security Champion Program in the market," said Ramon Herzlinger, General Manager of Codebashing at Checkmarx. "We invested extensively to ensure that all the relevant aspects are taught, including front-end, back-end, and DevOps-related knowledge and certification and based on feedbacks with customers who trailed it already, we are confident it is a major breakthrough in generating trust between security and development teams." Codebashing 2.0 includes a completely revamped user experience, new learning paths, and the most up to date AppSec learning content on the market covering the latest challenges and needs of development and security teams. With Codebashing 2.0, CISOs can identify gaps in knowledge about secure code capabilities fixes within their developers and help drive secure code awareness.
