DTEX Systems | December 21, 2022
DTEX Systems, the Workforce Cyber Intelligence & Security Company™, today announced that one of the world’s leading application performance and cloud security vendors has selected DTEX InTERCEPT to secure patents, protect business process innovation, and prevent data loss.
DTEX InTERCEPT™ is a first-of-its-kind Workforce Cyber Security solution that brings together the capabilities of Insider Threat Management, User and Entity Behavior Analytics, Digital Forensics, and Zero Trust DLP in an all-in-one lightweight, cloud-native platform. Only DTEX InTERCEPT delivers the behavioral context and activity intelligence that answers the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How related to any potential insider threat situation, compromised account event or data loss scenario without invading personal privacy.
In the face of changing global economic conditions, the increasing risk of corporate espionage, and a pending corporate reduction in force action, the application performance and cloud security vendor prioritized an immediate review of existing insider risk and data loss prevention technology. The vendor’s legal team was heavily involved in the RFP and vendor evaluation processes to ensure employee privacy would be protected as part of the adoption of any insider risk and data loss prevention solution in compliance with the European Union’s GDPR and California’s Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). After exhaustive review of DTEX InTERCEPT’s patented metadata collection model, the vendor’s legal, IT and, cyber security teams selected DTEX to replace its existing first-generation insider risk and data loss prevention solutions globally.
DTEX InTERCEPT’s seamless integration with the application performance and cloud security vendor’s NGAV system, as well as its innovative Zero Trust approach to data loss prevention were also deciding factors in the enterprises choice to standardize on DTEX InTERCEPT across all enterprise workstations and servers. Upon selection, a senior cyber security executive said, “DTEX is a proven solution that won’t break our systems.”
“It is incredibly gratifying to have our insider risk and data loss prevention technology chosen by a fellow cyber security vendor. In this case, it was again the uniqueness of our data set and ability to keep employee data private, while delivering dynamic, contextual human behavior visibility that was the deciding factor in the customer’s decision. “Likewise, a peer’s decision to adopt our technology makes a strong statement that traditional solutions focused on machine intelligence are insufficient to protect data in today’s distributed workforce reality. The difference is most definitely human.”
Bahman Mahbod, CEO at DTEX Systems

Nozomi Networks | January 25, 2023
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.
About Nozomi Networks
Nozomi Networks, with headquarters in San Francisco, California, accelerates digital transformation by defending the world's critical infrastructure, industrial enterprises, and government enterprises from cyber-attacks. Its technology provides OT and IoT environments with superior network and asset monitoring, threat detection, and analytics. As a result, customers rely on the company's solution to reduce risk and complexity while increasing operational resiliency. In addition, the organization provides zero-trust security by delivering contextual data for policy decisions, such as endpoint posture checks, baseline monitoring, and device role data.
