Uptycs Integrates with Amazon Security Lake to Enable the Correlation

Uptycs, provider of the first unified CNAPP and XDR platform, today announced an integration with Amazon Security Lake from Amazon Web Services (AWS). Amazon Security Lake automatically centralizes security data from across AWS environments, leading SaaS providers, on-premises, and cloud sources into a purpose-built data lake. Amazon Security Lake manages data throughout its lifecycle with customizable data retention settings and converts and conforms incoming security data to the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) open standard, making it easier to automatically collect, combine, and analyze security data from AWS, security partners, and analytics providers. The integration with Uptycs helps organizations speed up threat detection and incident response by correlating Uptycs telemetry and events with data from a vast number of other security tools.

With the proliferation of technologies and environments, security teams need to spend time setting up one-to-one integrations between their tools to correlate threat activity. This is expensive and delays response to security threats. In contrast, a shift up approach to cybersecurity does not need complex integrations and intermediary systems to connect the dots. The premise involves getting the data in a standardized format right out of the gate, and streaming it up into a data lake so security teams can do cross-correlations that speed up threat detection and response.

The OCSF project offers a consistent approach towards cybersecurity telemetry by providing a standard schema for common security events, defining versioning criteria to facilitate schema evolution, and including a self-governance process for security log producers and consumers. This enables organizations to easily bring together data from multiple security tools.

"We are excited to bring the security telemetry from Uptycs into Amazon Security Lake," says Ganesh Pai, CEO and co-founder of Uptycs. "A key tenet of the shift up approach to cybersecurity is to stream normalized security telemetry into a data lake, moving security analytics processing power to the cloud. Uptycs and AWS customers can now enjoy enhanced protection and faster reaction time as they benefit from standardized OCSF-based telemetry across their on-prem and cloud workloads."

Using the OCSF format, Uptycs and Amazon Security Lake allow organizations to have a consistent telemetry, enabling them to easily correlate data from a variety of security, SIEM, and SOAR tools. Uptycs, an AWS Security Competency Partner, will send a wealth of OCSF-formatted data from on-premises and cloud assets to Amazon Security Lake, including behavioral threat detections from endpoints and cloud workloads, anomaly detections, policy violations, risky policies, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities.

Uptycs prospects and customers can get started with the Amazon Security Lake integration by contacting Uptycs.

About Uptycs

Your developer's laptop is just a hop away from cloud infrastructure. Attackers don't think in silos, so why would you have siloed solutions protecting public cloud, private cloud, containers, laptops, and servers?

Uptycs reduces risk by prioritizing your responses to threats, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, sensitive data exposure, and compliance mandates across your modern attack surface—all from a single platform, UI, and data model. This includes the ability to tie together threat activity as it traverses on-prem and cloud boundaries, thus delivering a more cohesive enterprise-wide security posture.

Wallarm Unveils API Abuse Prevention, Protects Organizations Against Bot-Based Attacks

Businesswire | June 26, 2023

Wallarm, the end-to-end API security company, today announced the early release of its API Abuse Prevention feature to address one of the most critical API threats: bot-based attacks. Wallarm can now accurately identify and mitigate API bot activity, protecting systems against API abuse, account takeover (ATO), and price scraping. This new feature prevents potential revenue loss, protects customer information, and defends against reputational damage, while ensuring the best possible experience for legitimate API users. “Bots are a growing threat to API security, and traditional methods of prevention have proven to be ineffective,” said Ivan Novikov, CEO of Wallarm. “Our API Abuse Prevention feature is a game-changer. It can accurately detect and stop a wide range of bot types, without relying on JavaScript challenges. This provides our customers with a highly effective solution to protect their APIs from bot-based attacks.” "As the fintech, healthtech, and e-commerce industries continue to evolve, API security has become more crucial than ever, with bots posing an increasing threat. Traditional security measures, such as WAFs and WAAP tools, have demonstrated their inadequacy in mitigating these risks," explained Ivan Novikov, CEO of Wallarm. "Our API Abuse Prevention feature offers an innovative solution to this problem, accurately detecting and neutralizing various bot types without the complex deployment. This empowers our clients with a highly effective defense against bot-driven attacks on their APIs." Bots are a significant threat to the security of APIs and a massive concern for organizations of all sizes. In recent years, there have been several high-profile incidents of API abuse, including the theft of customer data, Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, and unauthorized access to sensitive information. These incidents have highlighted the need for effective solutions to prevent API abuse. Wallarm’s API Abuse Prevention provides organizations with a highly effective solution to protect APIs from bot-based attacks by using specialized detectors to identify and stop a wide range of bot types, including stuffing bots, spiders, scanners, security crawlers, and scalper bots. These detectors can detect bot activity based on several factors, such as request patterns, timing anomalies, and API endpoint behaviors. It is designed to provide organizations with customizable protection against malicious automated behavior that blocks the bad while allowing the good—and at scale. While traditional bot protection products are mostly focused on the web application, Wallarm’s API Abuse Prevention is specifically developed to mitigate automated actions against APIs where competing solutions fall short. It is delivered on the existing Wallarm Advanced API Security platform, enabling customers to reduce tool sprawl, analyst workload and fatigue, and operational costs. Additionally, Wallarm API Abuse Prevention includes detailed reporting and analysis, allowing organizations to better understand the nature and full scope of bot activity on their APIs, which can be used to improve overall API security and prevent future attacks. Wallarm’s API Abuse Prevention is available now as a part of Wallarm's Advanced API Security offering. To learn more, visit https://www.wallarm.com.
