Boomi | January 12, 2024
Boomi™, the intelligent connectivity and automation leader, today announced that the Boomi platform has achieved StateRAMP Authorization. This achievement reflects Boomi’s unwavering commitment to data security and compliance, and to delivering a secure and reliable solution that government agencies can rely on to safeguard their data and operations.
“At Boomi, we are committed to democratizing modernization. Securing StateRAMP authorization for our platform was paramount, enabling public sector organizations to seamlessly and securely integrate and leverage cloud applications,” said Sean Wechter, Chief Information Officer at Boomi. “Through a strategic alliance with StateRAMP, Boomi actively collaborates with its leadership board, facilitating streamlined documentation and audit processes to expedite digital transformation within the public sector."
According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office, government agencies plan to spend billions of dollars each year to support their IT and cybersecurity efforts, including transitioning IT resources to secure, cost-effective commercial cloud services.1 However, agencies are challenged to select secure cloud-based solutions, making it difficult for these organizations to modernize and improve constituent experiences.
StateRAMP, a nationally recognized risk authorization management program that provides a standardized approach to assessing cloud products, improves security and simplifies procurement by building a pool of pre-authorized Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions for public sector entities.
As organizations more frequently implement cloud-based solutions, they also require validated access to integration platform as a service (iPaaS) to streamline application and resource integration. iPaaS integrates cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-on premises, and on-premises-to-on-premises platforms, helping public sector organizations break down data silos to enhance information flow, improve citizen services, and increase operational effectiveness.
About Boomi
Boomi aims to make the world a better place by connecting everyone to everything, anywhere. The pioneer of cloud-based integration platform as a service (iPaaS), and now a category-leading, global software as a service (SaaS) company, Boomi touts the largest customer base among integration platform vendors and a worldwide network of approximately 800 partners – including Accenture, Capgemini, SAP, and Snowflake. Global organizations turn to Boomi’s award-winning platform to discover, manage, and orchestrate data, while connecting applications, processes, and people for better, faster outcomes.

D3 Security | January 08, 2024
D3 Security today announced its participation in the Microsoft Security Copilot Partner Private Preview. D3 Security was selected based on their proven experience with Microsoft Security technologies, willingness to explore and provide feedback on cutting edge functionality, and close relationship with Microsoft.
“In the context of security, AI’s impact is likely to be profound, tilting the scales in favor of defenders and empowering organizations to defend at machine speed. At Microsoft, we are privileged to have a leading role in advancing AI innovation, and we are so grateful to our incredible ecosystem of partners, whose mission-driven work is critical to helping customers secure their organizations and confidently bring the many benefits of AI into their environments,” said Vasu Jakkal, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Security.
D3 Security is working with Microsoft product teams to help shape Security Copilot product development in several ways, including validation and refinement of new and upcoming scenarios, providing feedback on product development and operations to be incorporated into future product releases, and validation and feedback of APIs to assist with Security Copilot extensibility.
“D3 has always pushed SOAR technology forward, be it through our deep research into integration design; our Event Pipeline, which reduces alert-handling time by up to 99%; or our operationalizing of the MITRE ATT&CK and D3FEND frameworks,” said Gordon Benoit, President, D3 Security. “By teaming with Microsoft in the Security Copilot Partner Private Preview, we will be able to use AI to evolve SOAR in ways that would have sounded impossible just a year ago.”
Security Copilot is the first AI-powered security product that enables security professionals to respond to threats quickly, process signals at machine speed, and assess risk exposure in minutes. It combines an advanced large language model (LLM) with a security-specific model that is informed by Microsoft's unique global threat intelligence and more than 65 trillion daily signals.

Deepwatch | January 09, 2024
Deepwatch, the leading managed security platform for the cyber resilient enterprise, today announced the launch of Threat Signal, its standalone forensic-focused operations service. Deepwatch designed Threat Signal to enhance companies’ cybersecurity defenses, proactively identify and help mitigate attack vectors, and stay ahead of evolving risks to strengthen cyber resilience.
Threat Signal provides protection beyond traditional security measures, finding advanced cyber threats that have bypassed existing controls by leveraging the latest attacker methodologies to stay in tune with the constantly evolving threat landscape. Using an “outside-in” methodology, Threat Signal evaluates an organization’s externally accessible presence from an attacker’s perspective to pinpoint and investigate risky systems and services. This informs the initial investigation and allows Deepwatch Experts to leverage advanced capabilities through organic intelligence, deep forensics, and threat hunting.
According to Forrester’s “How to Make Threat Intelligence Actionable” report¹, “Over time, companies need to move beyond tactical use cases. Threat hunting can uncover threats that have bypassed traditional security tools, allowing companies to stop attacks earlier to minimize disruptions. As Forrester’s Threat Hunting 101 report describes, threat intelligence is vital because it provides insights into the TTPs of threat actors and details on how malware behaves. If time, expertise, and resources are constrained, consider leveraging an external service provider to conduct the threat-hunting exercise as an annual consulting engagement.”
Threat Signal provides tailored and proactive security measures through customer-specific intelligence that takes an organization's unique attack surface, business risks, and the latest adversary intelligence or "threat cases" into account. Threat Signal’s additional features and capabilities include:
Deepwatch Experts - Seasoned forensic security experts perform in-depth investigations, identifying threats before they disrupt an organization.
Attack Surface Profiles - These profiles provide a customer actionable report, detailing external opportunity areas that an attacker could leverage against an organization, including high-risk opportunities, mitigation recommendations, and threat hunting leads.
Forensic-Agent-Based Threat Hunting Engagements - Deepwatch’s specialists consistently engage in hunting activities to reveal concealed threats within a company’s infrastructure and provide a threat hunt summary report with detailed observations and any actions that the customer took during that hunt cycle.
Reporting and Reviews - Deepwatch provides customers with reports, including:
Weekly intelligence brief reports on analyzed open-source intelligence with Deepwatch recommendations.
Summary presentations on the solution engagement status, including but not limited to hunting reports.
Up to two executive reviews of the solution and observables per year.
Ad-hoc awareness briefs of security advisories based on Deepwatch threat criteria.
Annual intelligence reports on incident lessons learned and predictions.
Malware Analysis - Deepwatch’s Adversary Tactics and Intelligence (ATI) team analyze collected malware and provide a report.
Enhanced Security - Deepwatch’s MDR customers benefit from cross-collaborative security operations, harnessing advanced threat detection, and hyper-responsive capabilities.
“As security professionals, we look to enhance a company’s security readiness. To do that, it’s critical for them to look beyond their existing security controls to ensure they are identifying and proactively protecting the business from external threats,” said Jerrod Barton, VP, Cyber Operations & Intelligence for Deepwatch. “With Threat Signal, we’re able to help our enterprise customers view their security readiness through the lens of the ‘attackers,’ ensuring that they can rapidly respond to any incoming threats, which in turn helps them elevate their cyber resilience.”
