SlashNext Introduces Generative AI Solution for Email Security

SlashNext | March 01, 2023

On February 28, 2023, SlashNext, a leading SaaS-based Integrated Cloud Messaging Security solutions provider across web, email and mobile, announced the release of Generative HumanAI™, the industry's first artificial intelligence solution using generative AI to defend against advanced business email compromise (BEC), executive impersonation, supply chain attacks, and financial fraud. Adding Generative HumanAI ensures that customers have peace of mind, despite threat actors utilizing widely available AI tools to aid their efforts. The solution already has a 99.9% detection rate with its existing AI capabilities. Generative HumanAI predicts vast numbers of potential AI-generated BEC threats by utilizing AI data augmentation and cloning technologies to evaluate a core threat and then produce thousands of other versions of that same core threat, which allows the system to train itself on possible variations. This new solution joins SlashNext's existing HumanAI capabilities, which imitate human threat researchers by combining computer vision, natural language processing, and machine learning with relationship graphs and deep contextualization to thwart sophisticated multichannel messaging attacks. Features of HumanAI consist: Relationship Graphs & Contextual Analysis establish a baseline of known-good writing styles and communication patterns for each employee and supplier to detect unusual conversation and communication styles. BEC Generative AI Augmentation automatically generates thousands of new BEC variants from today's threat to stop tomorrow's attacks. Natural Language Processing analyzes text in the email body and attachments for tone, emotion, topic, intent and manipulation triggers related to social engineering tactics. Computer Vision Recognition leverages SlashNext's LiveScan™ to inspect URLs in real-time for any visual divergence, such as layouts and images, to detect credential phishing webpages. Sender Impersonation Analysis evaluates headline details and email authentication results to stop impersonation attacks. File Attachment Inspection analyzes social engineering traits of attachments and malicious codes to stop ransomware. SlashNext has been developing this patent-pending solution internally for over two years and is at the forefront of multichannel messaging security. Its threat researchers recognized that generative AI would soon change the face of BEC attacks. About SlashNext SlashNext is a leading cloud-based messaging security solutions provider to safeguard against malicious messages across all digital channels.

ForgeRock is the First Identity Platform to Fully Eliminate Passwords

ForgeRock | March 21, 2023

ForgeRock®, a global digital identity leader, today announced ForgeRock Enterprise Connect Passwordless, a new passwordless authentication solution that eliminates the need for users to interact with passwords inside large organizations. Enterprise Connect Passwordless is the latest addition to ForgeRock’s industry-leading, passwordless authentication portfolio for consumer and workforce use cases. Developed through ForgeRock’s strategic partnership with Secret Double Octopus, the new solution, integrated into ForgeRock Identity Platform, protects the most commonly used and vulnerable enterprise resources such as servers, workstations, remote desktops, and VPNs. It helps large enterprises proactively defend against costly cyber-attacks and unauthorized access by providing a passwordless experience to legacy applications, systems and services. In turn, organizations can deliver an employee experience that empowers people to access their information without needing to know a password. “The move to passwordless authentication will fundamentally change every digital experience on the planet, starting with the most common experience of all - logging in,” said Peter Barker, Chief Product Officer, ForgeRock. “With the addition of Enterprise Connect Passwordless, ForgeRock is the only solution to offer a full spectrum of passwordless capabilities that help employees and consumers say goodbye to remembering their passwords.” Organizations deploying ForgeRock Enterprise Connect Passwordless become a more secure enterprise by removing employee interaction with passwords, and reducing the risk of compromise. Benefits include eliminating employee account lockouts and reducing the volume of IT tickets, which can lower operational costs from help desk interactions, increase workforce productivity and enhance the user experience. Removing Passwordless Orchestration and Deployment Complexities ForgeRock Enterprise Connect Passwordless uses next generation identity orchestration capabilities that allow enterprises to easily design and implement passwordless login and access journeys tailored to their unique security and experience needs. With ForgeRock, organizations now have the freedom to move to passwordless at their own pace – without it being an “all or nothing” experience. “When an organization decides it wants to go passwordless to improve user experiences, that can be a heavy lift, made lighter when accompanied by user journey orchestration technology,” said Jay Bretzmann, Research Vice President, Security Products, IDC. “The ability to rapidly create login experiences tailored to groups of diverse individuals is an imperative for modern enterprises. Orchestration not only provides the tools to do this, but also the ability to ‘fine-tune’ journeys in real-time. What used to take programmers and developers weeks or months can now be accomplished by non-technical IT or identity staff for a fraction of the time and cost.” Available in Q2, Enterprise Connect Passwordless augments the company’s existing passwordless capabilities, adding to the ongoing work ForgeRock has been doing to eliminate consumer passwords for more than a decade. A History of Paving the Passwordless Path for Enterprises The ForgeRock Identity Platform has an extensive history of providing organizations several options to help deploy passwordless authentication for mobile and web applications to reduce fraud and improve the user experience. ForgeRock can accelerate passwordless deployment with integration for applications, support for identity standards, easy to use workflows to enable workforce and CIAM passwordless user journeys, and web-based passwordless authentication through a browser using passkeys in their mobile devices. ForgeRock already supports passwordless authentication capabilities through FIDO2 WebAuthn standards and passkeys within the ForgeRock Identity Cloud, low-code, no-code access orchestration with ForgeRock Intelligent Access and AI-driven threat protection within ForgeRock Autonomous Access. ForgeRock also has alliances with partners that have developed curated FIDO solutions for many different types of applications. About ForgeRock ForgeRock® is a global digital identity leader helping people simply and safely access the connected world. The ForgeRock Identity Platform delivers enterprise-grade identity solutions at scale for customers, employees, and connected devices. More than 1,300 organizations depend on ForgeRock’s comprehensive platform to manage and secure identities with identity orchestration, dynamic access controls, governance, and APIs in any cloud or hybrid environment.
