Conceal, a global leader in Zero Trust browser isolation technology, has announced a new strategic partnership with White Rock Cybersecurity, an industry-recognized Value Added Reseller specializing in comprehensive IT and network security solutions.
"White Rock Cybersecurity is committed to delivering innovative, scalable, and manageable solutions in information technology," said James Range, CEO of White Rock Cybersecurity. "With the inclusion of Conceal's Zero Trust isolation technology in our offerings, we are significantly boosting the defense capabilities of our customers against both existing and emerging cyber threats at the edge."
ConcealBrowse, Conceal's flagship product, is a lightweight browser extension that turns any existing browser into a Zero Trust, secure browser. By monitoring and detecting new and potentially malicious URLs, ConcealBrowse can accurately determine if the activity at the edge is safe to continue via the organization's network. This layer of protection effectively blocks potentially malicious activity, minimizing the success of credential theft and ransomware that bypass other cybersecurity controls.
In cases where the safety of a URL cannot be immediately determined, ConcealBrowse isolates the session, protecting the user's identity and the organization's network from potential threats.
"White Rock Cybersecurity has a proven track record of delivering top-tier IT and cybersecurity solutions to their customers," said Gordon Lawson, CEO of Conceal. "We are excited to work closely with them to enhance their capabilities further and ensure their clients benefit from our innovative Zero Trust isolation technology."
The partnership presents a tremendous opportunity for the security partner community. With ConcealBrowse, partners can now provide their customers with a comprehensive malware protection solution for any browser, enhancing the overall cyber resilience of organizations and protecting their digital assets at the edge.

Global security leader Forcepoint today introduced its best-in-class Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) program for service providers, distribution partners and other resellers.
With managed services based on the Forcepoint ONE Security Service Edge (SSE) platform, Forcepoint partners can simplify Zero Trust security and gain predictable, repeatable revenue streams through cloud-first, hybrid-ready security. Forcepoint ONE also allows partners to quickly differentiate their security offerings with Data-first SASE, integrating SSE with connectivity through FlexEdge Secure SD-WAN solutions. Forcepoint MSSP partners can help enterprises and government agencies turn security into a competitive advantage by increasing productivity, streamlining costs and simplifying regulatory compliance.
“As more and more organizations look to MSSPs for their cybersecurity solutions, the opportunity for partners is absolutely massive with market growth to $53.22B expected in the next several years. And every customer we speak to is on a path to SASE, with many looking to MSSPs for pay-as-you-go solutions that stop threats and data loss while letting users access information and apps securely on any device,” said Myles Bray, Chief Revenue Officer at Forcepoint. “Forcepoint ONE allows MSSP partners to fast forward their journey to Data-first SASE through the delivery of security convergence, subscription model and business tools that enable partners to reduce complexity for mutual customers, drive recurring revenue, and quickly scale their service offerings.”
“Forcepoint’s data-centric focus on security aligns with our vision for proactive protection, detection and remediation,” said Raluca Saceanu, CEO of Smarttech247, a Forcepoint partner. “Smarttech247’s hosted and managed services centered on Forcepoint ONE SSE cloud-native and Forcepoint enterprise data security solutions allow today’s enterprises to manage risk holistically and simplify security operations. This is a game-changer when adversaries are constantly finding new ways to steal confidential data.”
As a channel-first company, Forcepoint will help partners quickly incorporate SASE into their services through its MSSP program. Using the Forcepoint management portal, partners can update customer configurations and offer multi-tenant services with a few clicks. Subscriptions with simple billing help providers scale their profitability when end-user licensing needs change. With no significant up-front expenses, partners can offer Forcepoint ONE and Secure SD-WAN solutions quickly over the internet and customers can add more services anytime.
Forcepoint also provides enablement and training support, including channel managers dedicated to building business plans with MSSPs and distribution partners. Additional Forcepoint MSSP benefits to partners include:

Orca Security, the pioneer of agentless cloud security, today announced its full integration with Microsoft Azure OpenAI GPT-4. The integration builds on the ChatGPT implementation in the Orca Cloud Security platform announced in January and makes it the first cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) to support GPT-4 through the Azure OpenAI Service. In addition to the integration, Orca announced several new features for its ChatGPT integration.
The Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service provides REST API access to OpenAI's ChatGPT technology. With this new Microsoft integration, Orca Security customers can benefit not only from the greatly improved functionality in GPT-4, but also from the security and enterprise support that Microsoft provides. This includes the benefits of privacy of customer data submitted to the service, compliance with key regulations such as HIPAA and SOC2, an uptime SLA of 99.9%, and regional availability for lower latency and increased reliability.
Since introducing GPT-3 support in the Orca Platform in January, customers have used it to dramatically reduce their mean-time-to-remediation (MTTR). Security practitioners can instantly generate high-quality remediation instructions for each alert straight from the Orca Platform. These instructions can simply be copied and pasted into platforms such as Terraform, Pulumi, AWS CloudFormation, AWS Cloud Development Kit, Azure Resource Manager, Google Cloud Deployment Manager, and Open Policy Agent. If more information is needed, users can ask ChatGPT follow-up questions directly from the Orca Platform. With the transition to GPT-4, customers will benefit from the model’s improved accuracy as well as its ability to generate code snippets.
“The customer response to our integration with GPT has been incredibly positive,” said Gil Geron, CEO at Orca Security. “It’s been amazing to see customers embrace it in so many ways to gain dramatic efficiency improvements. With our integration with GPT-4 through the Azure OpenAI Service, we continue to improve accuracy and ensure privacy to protect our customers’ data while maximizing its benefit.”
In addition to transitioning from GPT-3 to Azure OpenAI GPT-4, Orca made several other enhancements to its integration, including prompt improvements to ensure further optimization of remediation responses; a new Open Policy Agent (OPA) remediation method; and the ability to include remediation steps in Jira tickets when assigning cloud security issues.
The Azure OpenAI GPT-4 integration is available immediately. To learn more, please read the blog post published today.
