UL Launches New SafeCyber™ Solution and Platform Features to Address Mounting Security Threats

UL | June 07, 2022

UL, a global safety science leader, today announced the latest enhancements to its product security and compliance life cycle management platform, SafeCyber. Launched last year, SafeCyber aims to democratize product security and empower device manufacturers, suppliers and system integrators to take charge of their connected ecosystems and mitigate growing threats from chip to cloud.

Amid an uptick in supply chain attacks, a shortage of security expertise and a dynamic regulatory environment, UL's new SafeCyber dashboard provides users with a comprehensive view of their product security maturity and projects in one place. SafeCyber also provides an easy-to-use portal to help users discover available device life cycle solutions to better manage and secure their ecosystems.

Through this new dashboard, users can view all their product security testing and evaluation activities in a single, central location. The new feature provides visibility on the security maturity of their product lines and certification readiness to industry standards, including ISA/SAE 21434 and IEC 62443 4-1, among others.

Additionally, UL formally announced Binary Check™, a new SafeCyber platform solution. Binary Check allows users to perform continuous, automated binary code analysis to ensure ongoing security and compliance readiness of connected devices and systems. This new solution includes the ability to generate a software bill of materials (SBOM), detect and manage vulnerabilities for faster remediation and obtain compliance readiness analysis.

"The skyrocketing adoption of connected devices creates countless benefits and opportunities but also leads to an increasingly large and attractive attack vector for bad actors. "As devices become progressively connected, it's challenging for businesses to keep up with growing device and security system complexities, making them vulnerable to ransomware and firmware attacks. Hardening security requires a proactive approach. At UL, we are committed to enabling organizations to innovate and bring products to the marketplace safely and securely. With SafeCyber, customers benefit from a 360-degree view of their security governance and processes to better manage and mitigate product security risks."

Qumulo Bolsters Customers’ Security and Ransomware Defenses with Varonis Integration and New Snapshot-Locking Capabilities

Businesswire | May 11, 2023

Qumulo, the simple way to manage exabyte-scale data anywhere, today announced integration with the Varonis Data Security Platform and introduced their new Snapshot-Locking capability to protect customers against ransomware. With an increasing number of ransomware attacks on private businesses, public agencies, and healthcare organizations, managing cybersecurity risk is a bigger priority than ever before. The ongoing threat of cyberattacks forces IT organizations to constantly evolve their ability to detect ransomware and malware outbreaks across petabytes of data, in real time, and respond quickly to minimize the damage inflicted. Qumulo and Varonis have partnered to provide an end-to-end solution that protects Qumulo customers from ransomware in both cloud and on-premises environments. The Varonis Data Security Platform provides real-time visibility and control over cloud and on-premises data and automatically remediates risk. Varonis’ behavior-based threat models detect abnormal activity proactively and can stop threats to data before they become breaches. In the storage layer, Qumulo offers data protection by cryptographically locking snapshots, allowing administrators a simple mechanism to stop attackers from infecting valuable customer data. “Securing unstructured data can be very challenging due to its sheer volume, and the expansive number of places it is stored and used by companies,” said Kiran Bhageshpur, Chief Technology Officer, Qumulo. “Our new integration with Varonis will help our customers have complete visibility into where their most valuable data and key vulnerabilities are, especially for threats like ransomware.” The combined solution operates across three areas to protect against bad actors’ attempts to spread ransomware and malware within Qumulo: Prevention through continuous data exposure and risk monitoring with automatic remediation and least privilege enforcement Detection of anomalous activity and activity patterns that resemble ransomware across data stored in Qumulo Rapid recovery of data in the event of a successful attack Varonis uses Qumulo’s APIs and granular audit logging to monitor user logins, permissions changes, file and folder activity, and pattern detection to warn against suspicious activity that may indicate threat actors or malicious insiders. Qumulo’s Snapshot-Locking feature uses cryptographic protection, where only the customer has access to the cryptographic key-pair required to unlock the snapshot. Together, the Qumulo-Varonis solution offers enterprise IT organizations a simple, secure, and scalable way to manage data anywhere. “Organizations face an uphill climb when it comes to securing vast amounts of data across the cloud — in fact, we surveyed more than 700 companies and found that 81 percent had sensitive SaaS data exposed,” said David Bass, Executive Vice President of Engineering and Chief Technology Officer, Varonis. “We’re pleased to be teaming with Qumulo to provide greater visibility and control for companies looking to secure their critical data and proactively help mitigate the impact of a potential attack.” About Qumulo, Inc. Qumulo is the simple way to manage exabyte-scale data anywhere — edge, core, or cloud — on the platform of your choice. In a world with trillions of files and objects comprising 100+ zettabytes worldwide, companies need a solution that combines the ability to work anywhere with simplicity. This is precisely what Qumulo was founded to accomplish. About Varonis Varonis is a pioneer in data security and analytics, fighting a different battle than conventional cybersecurity companies.
