Infinipoint | November 23, 2021
Exclusive Networks, a global trusted cybersecurity specialist for digital infrastructure, today announced its worldwide distribution agreement with Infinipoint, a provider of a pioneering Device-Identity-as-a-Service (DIaaS) security solution that uniquely enables the critical device pillar of the zero-trust cybersecurity approach. Focusing on mid-market aligned partners – initially in Europe covering France, Germany and the UK with a view to extending across global territories from early 2022 – Exclusive will be supporting Infinipoint growth targets both through net new opportunities and by capitalising on technology integrations (i.e. SASE, MFA, ZTNA, etc.) and alliances from within its vendor portfolio.
Commenting on the announcement, Denis Ferrand, VP Global Vendor's Alliances & Business Development at Exclusive Networks said, "Of the seven pillars propping up the concept of zero-trust architecture (ZTA), partners have struggled most to position a strong story around zero-trust for device access because specialist solutions simply haven't existed. That's all changed with Infinipoint and DIaaS. Enterprises know that implementing the zero-trust for devices piece right is essential – and with Infinipoint we're breaking down that barrier. It's a great solution and fits perfectly into our cyber ecosystem. DIaaS also naturally supports a multitude of consumption models which makes it readymade for scaling out globally via our X-OD on-demand platform."
Launched in July this year, DIaaS has been gaining significant market traction. Exclusive will build on this demand to accelerate and scale globally through its specialist go-to-market services and ecosystem of over 18,000 channel partners.
"Infinipoint is pioneering the Device-Identity-as-a-Service security category and is the first and only solution to provide Single Sign-On (SSO) authorisation integrated with risk-based policies and self service one-click remediation for non-compliant and vulnerable devices.
Ariel Kriger, VP Global Sales & Business Development at Infinipoint.
"Exclusive Networks was the natural choice to support our market acceleration, possessing the necessary specialist cyber expertise and global scale to enthuse, educate and serve pent-up partner demand for this gap in the zero-trust market. Extending a zero-trust security posture to devices remains an essential and urgent requirement for every work-from-anywhere workforce. And to do it properly you have to do it by design, with adaptive access controls acting on device context, continuously checking device posture not just at the point of access – all the while not burdening the IT department or negatively impacting end user productivity. None of this is easy to do, but we've done it and now partners and their customers can reap the benefit."

Jones Walker LLP today publicly released the findings of its 2020 Midstream Oil and Gas Cybersecurity Survey, examining cybersecurity preparedness in North America-based independent midstream oil and gas companies. The findings will be presented during a webinar hosted by the Institute for Energy Law at the Center for American and International Law today at 12:30 p.m. CT. The results reflect the responses of 125 key executives, security and compliance officers, and general counsel, and confirm that cybersecurity remains a top concern for the midstream sector of the oil and gas industry — especially as companies grapple with the worldwide economic downturn, the reduction in commodity prices, and the increased dependence on remote work and autonomous systems due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

NETSCOUT | November 11, 2021
NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC. a leading provider of cybersecurity, service assurance, and business analytics solutions, today announced that Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) customers will now have added visibility and security when migrating workloads to AWS using NETSCOUT's Omnis® Cyber Intelligence (OCI) integration with AWS Security Hub.
NETSCOUT OCI is the industry's fastest and most scalable network security software solution, built on the foundation of the industry's most prominent network monitoring and packet recording and analysis technology. It uniquely detects and investigates suspicious activities in real-time and retrospectively, identifies threats early in the attack life cycle to prevent infections from spreading, stops future attacks, and identifies compromised assets.
As a cloud security posture management service, AWS Security Hub performs automated, continuous security best practice checks against AWS resources, aggregates alerts, and enables automated remediation.
The integration between NETSCOUT OCI and AWS Security Hub enhances the corporate security posture by extending the breadth and depth of cyberthreat visibility and intelligence. The integration is seamless since NETSCOUT OCI automatically formats violations in the Amazon Security Findings Format (ASFF) with built-in intelligence to suppress duplicate alerts and group them as needed. NETSCOUT OCI, through its integration with AWS Security Hub, helps detect, investigate, and respond to potentially malicious activity exposing risks that exist in hybrid cloud interdependencies.
"As organizations migrate workloads to the cloud, their infrastructure becomes increasingly complex, making end-through-end visibility a necessity to uncover increased attack surfaces and combat threat exposure,As an AWS Validated Technology and Public Sector Partner with Network and Migration competencies, we've been in lock-step development with AWS. We're excited that customers can realize the benefits of NETSCOUT OCI, which is now fully integrated onto AWS Security Hub."
