Security Solution Overload

 

The security industry turned out in force to Las Vegas this week to attend the annual Black Hat Conference. Vendors used the opportunity to showcase their latest and greatest technology releases. Those releases included new updates for threat detection, product integrations, security services, threat intelligence and much more. Vendors said the new solutions will help customers step up their game against attackers and cope with new threat vectors, many of which were presented by hackers at the show. Take a look at 16 solutions that were launched at the show this week.

 

 

Attivo ThreatMatrix Deception And Response Platform

Just in advance of the Black Hat event, Attivo Networks unveiled the enhancement of its Attivo ThreatMatrix Deception and Response Platform, adding capabilities around vulnerability visibility and assessment, automated responses to misconfigured systems or credentials, routed network support, and extending the platform to protect against Microsoft Active Directory attacks. These added capabilities expand Attivo's capabilities beyond detection to also include protection capabilities, the company said.

 

 

Armor Anywhere

Armor, formerly FireHost, Monday rolled out Armor Anywhere, a solution to provide data security across all infrastructures, including cloud infrastructures from Amazon Web Services and Azure. Capabilities of the new solution include managed security, visibility, controls, threat intelligence, patch monitoring, log management, malware protection, file integrity monitoring and external vulnerability scans for workloads, assets and applications, the company said.

 

"The modern threat landscape presents sizable challenges for companies managing sensitive data, particularly those facing strict compliance requirements," said Chris Drake, founder and CEO of Armor, in a statement. "Armor Anywhere is a battle-tested security solution backed by threat expertise that complements our customers' unique needs. It simplifies security so they can focus on growth and driving revenue, not defending against sophisticated cyberattacks."

 

 

RiskIQ Security Intelligence Services

San Francisco-based RiskIQ expanded its External Threat Management platform at Black Hat 2016, announcing it has added Security Intelligence Services. The new services, now generally available, arms security teams with critical data sets for threat forensics and incident remediation, the company said. Specifically, the data sets include Passive DNS data for insight into how a domain name or IP address changes over time, WhoIS data about domain and IP address ownership, and newly observed domains.

 

"Security teams spend so much time gathering all the information they need to respond to cyberincidents, it limits their efficacy," Arian Evans, vice president of product strategy at RiskIQ, said in a statement about the launch. "The new data services offering puts global internet data sets at researchers' fingertips to enrich analysis, inform decision-making and reduce the time it takes to investigate and respond to new threats."

 

 

Trustlook Sentinel

San Jose, Calif.-based mobile device security vendor Trustlook launched Trustlook Sentinel Monday to help provide an additional layer of mobile device protection. Different from other mobile device security solutions, which center around antivirus applications, Trustlook Sentinel is based on the operating system, providing threat monitoring, behavioral analytics and protections across applications, the company said.

 

"Sentinel represents the next evolution in mobile device security," Allan Zhang, founder and CEO of Trustlook, said in a statement. "Tightly integrating security through an on-device, behavioral-based model makes detection much faster and more effective, and ultimately affords better protection against malware and other threats." The solution is expected to be available in the third quarter.

 

 

Ironscales Federation

Israeli security startup Ironscales is looking to tackle the phishing problem, unveiling at Black Hat the launch of Federation, a phishing threat intelligence network. The Federation solution will provide businesses with threat intelligence on zero-day attacks, ransomware, malware, bots, spam, spoofing, pharming and more to arm them with the data they need to protect their own organization. The launch adds to Ironscales' portfolio of anti-phishing solutions, including user training and an employee-based intrusion prevention system, where users flag questionable content for an automatic scan and threat mitigation.

 

 

Kudelski Security

Switzerland-based Kudelski Security used Black Hat 2016 to officially launch into the U.S. market, offering a cybersecurity service and managed security services. The launch was made possible by the company's May acquisition of Arizona-based MSSP Milestone Systems. Kudelski brings capabilities around consulting, security technology, managed services, training, technical support and custom innovation to the U.S. market, as well as a strong reputation in the European market. Kudelski said it is focused on next-generation technologies and growing services capabilities.

 

 

Deloitte ThreatConnect Platform

Just before Black Hat, Deloitte Cyber Risk Services unveiled an alliance with ThreatConnect to boost the capabilities around its Vigilant Managed Services. By integrating ThreatConnect's threat intelligence platform with its own intelligence and analytics services, Deloitte said it will be better able to tackle threats with deeper intelligence from a single platform. Specifically, Deloitte said key benefits include a united defense against threats, automated aggregation and analysis of threat intelligence, optimized management capabilities and a community to share intelligence with.

 

"We're focused on providing a portfolio of tightly integrated cyber operations services. … By teaming with ThreatConnect, we can further enable organizations to maximize the value of their security technology investments, combat the fragmentation of their security organizations, and enhance their infrastructure with relevant threat intelligence across a scalable, integrated platform, said Adnan Amjad, cyber threat risk management practice leader for Deloitte Advisory cyber risk services and partner at Deloitte & Touche LLP.

 

 

Demisto

To help businesses develop incident response procedures, Demisto Tuesday launched an open industry standard to build and share incident response playbooks. Under the new standard, businesses can collaborate and share their own incident response procedures to help build better standards for the industry overall, the company said. Demisto has set up a platform for companies to automate and code the playbooks, as well as allow security analysts to collaborate over Slack.

 

"While cybercriminals collaborate to attack and steal from organizations, our industry until now has lacked a means for sharing best practices around incident response and community development of playbooks," said Dan Sarel, Demisto co-founder and vice president of product, in a statement. "At Demisto we believe that the only way to combat cybercrime is through collaboration and we are proud to offer today a major step in this direction."

 

 

Endgame Hunt Platform Version 2.0

Arlington, Va.-based endpoint security startup Endgame unveiled a new version of its Hunt platform just before the event, adding capabilities to speed time of detection and response. Specifically, the Hunt Platform Version 2.0 adds capabilities around hardware-assisted control flow integrity to monitor program execution in real time, signature-less malware detection, and automated investigation. Endgame also announced a partnership with Accenture, No. 2 on the 2016 CRN SP500 list, for a threat hunting-as-a-service offering. The offering brings together Endgame's security solutions with Accenture's cybersecurity team for continuous endpoint monitoring, exposing and eliminating both active and dormant adversaries, and actionable lists of vulnerabilities and remediation procedures to limit future attacks.
