Area 1 Security | October 22, 2021
Area 1 Security has been selected as the primary cloud email security provider for all customers of SolCyber, the first modern MSSP for the midmarket. Area 1's industry-first preemptive cloud email security stops phishing campaigns 24 days (on average) before they launch — keeping inboxes clean of threats that cause 95% of cybersecurity incidents.
The SolCyber and Area 1 partnership brings best-in-class email protection to midsize organizations, which are increasingly targeted by phishing attacks. According to a recent survey by RSM US LLP in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, 45% of mid-market executives said that social engineering attacks were successful last year — despite 90% of their organizations providing security awareness training. Additionally, 33% of mid-market executives disclosed that they experienced a ransomware attack or demand in 2020.
The implications for mid-market organizations — which typically have fewer in-house resources and specialty expertise compared to larger organizations —are significant and costly. In fact, of the mid-market businesses that have experienced a cyberattack, 63% are unable to resume normal business operations for over a month.
In one 12-month period, Area 1 Security prevented more than half a billion dollars in direct losses for its customers, including some of the world's largest healthcare, financial services, retail and consumer goods brands. Its cloud-scale solution is one of the core components in SolCyber's Foundational offering, a simple-to-implement curated technology stack, which also includes endpoint with EDR capabilities, lateral movement detection, and active directory and admin exploitation prevention.
We're very excited about our partnership with Area 1 Security. They have an amazing web crawling infrastructure that gives early warning protection that really matters to our customers. It's not often you can find a preemptive security technology that really works, and provides immediate value,Our customers want to stop ransomware and other cyber threats to their businesses. Period. But they typically don't have the time or resources to build a mature security posture on their own. Area 1 fits seamlessly into our Foundational Coverage, it deploys in minutes and is highly scalable, accelerating our customers' time to realize true value.
SolCyber CEO Scott McCrady
"We are thrilled to partner with a modern MSSP with an extremely user-friendly model. Like Area 1, SolCyber is committed to making it easy for organizations of all sizes to deploy best-in-class cloud-based security," said Steve Pataky, chief revenue officer of Area 1 Security. "We look forward to getting all of SolCyber's customers to INBOX.CLEAN™ — an inbox free of ever-evolving threats that defraud companies of data, dollars and brand confidence."

CyberProof | September 01, 2021
CyberProof Inc., a UST company, announced today that it will be adding Radiflow, a leading provider of cyber security solutions for industrial networks, to its partner network. The new partnership strengthens CyberProof's ability to provide comprehensive Managed Detection & Response (MDR) services for converged IT/OT systems and support the cyber security needs of Distributed Control Systems (DCS)/ICS and SCADA networks. CyberProof, ranked as a "Leader" in the Forrester Wave™ for Midsized Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs) – uses its proprietary CyberProof Defense Center (CDC) platform to provide a single platform, through which security teams can detect and mitigate threats across both the IT and OT environments.
As seen in several recent, high-profile breaches on Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), attackers often can compromise OT networks without being detected because organizations lack an updated inventory of OT assets, processes, and connections. Working with Radiflow allows CyberProof to discover previously unmapped assets in OT environments, maintain a centralized dynamic inventory, and help customers monitor and detect all traffic and communication within the OT network.
CyberProof's CDC Platform is pre-integrated with Radiflow's iSID industrial threat detection system, enabling real-time visibility into changes to assets, ports, and protocols. This integration supports proactive, real-time monitoring across IT and OT environments with full transparency. It enables CyberProof to search for new and known vulnerabilities leveraging the broadest protocol coverage, providing visibility into all industrial network risk variables for OT, IoT & IIoT.
"By working together with Radiflow, we provide a single view and control point for both IT and OT environments – including an integrated Security Operations Center (SOC)," said Tony Velleca, CEO at CyberProof. "We are able to combine Radiflow's unique technology together with CyberProof's Use Case Factory, a unique agile framework for continuously improving detection and response against relevant attack scenarios," Velleca added.
"The partnership with CyberProof extends security monitoring and managed response into the OT space," said Ilan Barda, CEO at Radiflow. "By integrating Radiflow's solutions, CyberProof is now able to proactively detect and respond to threats in ICS/SCADA networks and lay out a risk mitigation plan for optimal OT security that meets each customer's needs and budget," Barda continued.
About Radiflow
Radiflow's solutions offer full visibility of what and who is threatening your network and where it stands in terms of risk and its potential impact. Radiflow's first OT BAS (breach-attack-simulation) solution uses a data-driven approach to combine the vulnerabilities in your network with the tactics of your adversaries. Radiflow's BAS engine automatically simulates hundreds of WHAT-IF scenarios facilitating ROI-based optimization of your cyber-security roadmap with multiple prioritization keys to fit the various needs of each enterprise. Once a plan is defined, clients receive clear tracking and reporting of the progress. Radiflow's solutions are recognized as strong IEC-62443 enablers.
