Axonius | July 25, 2022
Axonius, a cybersecurity asset management provider, today announced integrations with Amazon Macie, Amazon GuardDuty, and AWS SecurityHub while extending its Amazon Inspector functionality. These new integrations will help customers to better understand and manage vulnerabilities across their Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure.
By connecting to both AWS first-party and ISV-third party security solutions, Axonius provides comprehensive visibility and management of assets across AWS cloud, multi-cloud, and on-premises.
The latest integrations provide the following capabilities:
Identify Exposed Amazon S3 Buckets: Axonius fetches findings from Amazon Macie to help customers identify exposed Amazon S3 buckets to maintain data integrity and compliance.
Detecting Malicious Activity & Compromised Security Controls: By integrating with Amazon GuardDuty, Axonius helps customers detect malicious activity to protect AWS accounts, workloads, and data and help them understand which assets have compensating security controls.
Helping Meet Security Best Practices: With insights from AWS SecurityHub, customers can compare against correlated data to verify whether assets that don't meet best practice standards have a compensating security control.
Comprehensive View of Cloud Security Posture: Axonius delivers a complete inventory of assets from more than 450 correlated data sources giving customers a comprehensive view of their cloud security, including vulnerability data from Amazon Inspector.
"As companies continue to shift workloads to the cloud, they're also increasingly leveraging cloud provider-native security service offerings. "Yet customers are still exhausted by the highly-manual, slow, and error-prone processes that negatively impact their risk mitigation, threat management, and compliance. With Axonius and AWS, customers finally have a unified view of their assets while dramatically strengthening their security posture."
Mark Daggett, Vice President of Worldwide Channels and Alliances at Axonius

Hillstone Networks | August 25, 2022
Hillstone Networks, an innovative and accessible cybersecurity solutions provider, today unveiled new models in the Hillstone Networks A-Series Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW), the A7600 and A6800, to help enterprises secure their expanding network edge, deliver powerful network security capabilities, and drive sustainability with solutions in a compact 1RU form factor.
According to IBM’s Cost of a Breach 2022 report, 83% of organizations studied have had more than one breach. Cyberattacks are not abating, and the cost, damages and recovery from a single breach continue to rise. Against an aggressive cyberattack backdrop, the volume and complexity of traffic in today’s IT environments continue to exponentially increase due to the expansion of different services such as videos, apps, and cloud-based-everything. With increased connectivity to services comes an increased complexity of vulnerabilities to secure against.
Secure An Expanded Network Edge with Hillstone A-Series Next Generation Firewalls
Enterprises need high-performing next-generation firewalls to meet today’s bandwidth requirements, service levels, and defend against more advanced threats. As the network edge expands from the traditional on-premises network perimeter, IT teams now must secure unforeseen levels of depth, as all layers of the IT stack must be secured at the edge.
Minimize the Speed versus Security Trade-off with Proprietary Hardware Acceleration Engine
IT teams regularly compromise one need over another, based on budget or resources. Hillstone’s proprietary Hardware (HW) Acceleration Engine offloads network traffic from the processor, allowing more resources to be dedicated for comprehensive security services, bringing streamlined threat detection and prevention capabilities to high-traffic applications and scenarios. The HW Acceleration Engine delivers ultra-low latency in network packet forwarding, allowing the NGFW to sift through and secure even the most latency-sensitive applications, including multimedia streaming, broker services, and other high-volume transactions.
Native Cyberresilience Combined with High Throughput/Low Latency Deliver on App and Customer Experience
Raw processing speed, with throughputs of 200 Gbps and 280 Gbps, allow for packet forwarding within a few microseconds, delivering quality of service across networks. Enterprise-grade security features come native with these offerings, including comprehensive and advanced threat protection for known and unknown malware with multiple security services, including Intrusion Prevention, IP Reputation, URL Filtering, Anti-Spam, Anti-Virus, Cloud Sandbox, Botnet C2, among others.
“Because today’s network traffic across all applications and services is increasing both in complexity, and in volume across hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, a high performing NGFW is no longer optional – it is now mandatory. “Today’s data centers, edge locations, service providers are looking for a powerful solution that delivers on multiple fronts – security, performance, and customer experience. The new NGFW offerings deliver the on the needs of our customers today with the flexibility of multiple deployment models.”
Tim Liu, co-founder & CTO, Hillstone Networks
The A-Series NGFW is a solid platform for enterprise customers to enable an SD-WAN solution to bridge connectivity and security needs. The integration consolidates network VPN and security in one device or client, allowing for a faster, lower-cost and more secure local internet connection at remote locations. In addition, customers can also unlock a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution, to meet remote access security requirements, including identity-based, least-privileged secure access, as well as context-aware, adaptive access control, enhancing both security and effectiveness for the remote connections.

Hillstone Networks’ innovative and accessible cybersecurity solutions reshape enterprise and service provider security, enabling cyber resilience while lowering TCO. Providing comprehensive visibility, superior intelligence, and rapid protection to see, understand, and act against cyberthreats from edge to cloud, Hillstone is favorably rated by leading analysts and trusted by global companies.
