The editors at Solutions Review have curated this list of the most noteworthy endpoint security and network monitoring news for the week of August 2. This curated list features endpoint security and network monitoring vendors such as Endari<\/a>, Protect AI<\/a>, Akamai<\/a>, and more.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Keeping tabs on all the most relevant endpoint security and network monitoring news can be a time-consuming task. As a result, our editorial team aims to provide a summary of the top headlines from the last month in this space. Solutions Review editors will curate vendor product news, mergers and acquisitions, venture capital funding, talent acquisition, and other noteworthy endpoint security and network monitoring news items.<\/p>\n Endari, a cybersecurity solutions provider for startups and small businesses (SMBs), has announced this week its official launch from stealth mode by Nils Puhlmann, a seasoned cybersecurity veteran with over 30 years of experience. The company has also raised $4M in seed funding led by investors who recognize the critical need for effective cybersecurity solutions in the startup ecosystem. With this funding, Endari has created a proprietary and comprehensive cybersecurity maturity model that has been tested and validated with real customers. \u201cI have been in security for a long time and have seen first-hand that most solutions and processes are only built for large enterprises, not startups,\u201d said CEO and Founder of Endari, Nils Puhlmann. \u201cStartups are left behind with a patchwork of solutions that can\u2019t be implemented properly because they don\u2019t have the right talent and are not looking at the big picture. Essentially, they are stuck with security gaps and limited visibility, leaving them vulnerable and exposed in the current threat landscape. I created Endari because somebody needed to step up and do something to tackle this major gap in the market. There\u2019s just too much at stake when it\u2019s the smaller companies that larger companies rely on by utilizing their technologies and solutions. All it takes is one big breach and a startup is done \u2013 most of them won\u2019t survive it.\u201d<\/p>\n Read on for more.<\/a><\/p>\n Appdome, a leader in mobile defense, this week announced its new Threat Resolution Center<\/em>, powered by GenAI. The new service enables mobile support teams to instantly identify mobile threats, generate context-specific resolution steps, and improve threat response for all stakeholders. “We’ve been evaluating LLMs and GenAI as part of the threat response lifecycle since GenAI came on the scene,” said Tom Tovar, co-creator and CEO at Appdome. “Threat Resolution Center leverages two new innovations at Appdome \u2013 our new ThreatCode<\/em> and Threat Resolution Agent<\/em> – with GenAI to quickly synthetize massive amounts of unstructured data into step-by-step instructions that stop cyberattacks, malware and other threats on mobile end user devices fast.” Appdome will be demonstrating the new GenAI powered Threat Resolution Center live at the upcoming Black Hat USA cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas Aug. 7 and 8.<\/p>\n Read on for more.<\/a><\/p>\n Sevco Security, an asset intelligence platform, and VulnCheck, an exploit intelligence company, announced this week a strategic partnership. In conjunction with the partnership, Sevco launched significant enhancements to its vulnerability prioritization and exposure management capabilities by integrating VulnCheck\u2019s unparalleled exploit and vulnerability intelligence with the Sevco platform. \u201cWith the exploitation of vulnerabilities increasing 180 percent over the past year, organizations must mature their vulnerability management programs as a strategic priority,\u201d said J.J. Guy, co-founder and CEO at Sevco Security. \u201cOur partnership with VulnCheck enables us to significantly build on the vulnerability hunting capabilities in the Sevco platform by adding the most complete exploit intelligence on the market. The combination gives security teams the only real-time threat visibility for software assets, enabling them to act faster and smarter in remediating vulnerabilities.\u201d The companies will demonstrate their integration at Black Hat USA in Las Vegas, August 7-8, 2024.<\/p>\n Read on for more.<\/a><\/p>\n Protect AI, an artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) security company, today announced it has closed a $60M Series B round of funding led by Evolution Equity Partners with participation from 01 Advisors, StepStone Group, Samsung, and existing investors Acrew Capital, boldstart ventures, Knollwood Capital, Pelion Ventures, and Salesforce Ventures. To date, the company has raised a total of $108.5M to help organizations protect ML systems and AI applications from unique security vulnerabilities and emerging threats. This announcement came shortly after the acquisition of SydeLabs, which specializes in the automated attack simulation (red teaming) of generative AI (GenAI) systems. SydeBox<\/em> will be integrated into the Protect AI Platform and rebranded as Protect AI Recon<\/em>. \u201cThe combination of SydeLabs\u2019 SydeBox and Protect AI\u2019s platform provides customers a comprehensive defense-in-depth solution for building, managing, testing, deploying and monitoring LLMs,\u201d said Ruchir Patwa, co-founder of SydeLabs. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more excited about joining the Protect AI mission and the prospect of what we can achieve in terms of helping companies of all sizes adopt and deploy more secure LLMs and AI applications.\u201d<\/p>\n Read on for more.<\/a><\/p>\n This week, SecurityScorecard released new cybersecurity research on 250 leading global aerospace & aviation companies, including 100 top commercial passenger airlines. In The Cyber Risk Landscape of the Global Aviation Industry, 2024<\/em> report, security researchers provide a detailed examination of cybersecurity vulnerabilities across the airline industry and its various supply chains. The report comes as regulatory bodies worldwide ramp up cybersecurity requirements for the aviation sector. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration introduced new mandates in March 2023, and the E.U.\u2019s Implementing Regulation 2023\/203 will take effect in 2026, setting a new standard for aviation information security risk management. The aviation industry has traditionally focused on physical security threats, but recent revelations about risks on Boeing\u2019s supply chain have spotlighted the critical need to measure and mitigate supply chain risk. SecurityScorecard\u2019s latest research aims to elevate the discourse on supply chain cyber risk in particular, emphasizing the need and best practices for comprehensive cybersecurity monitoring across the aviation sector.<\/p>\n Read on for more.<\/a><\/p>\n Nitel, a leading network-as-a-service (NaaS) provider, announced this week the addition of VersaONE<\/em>, Versa\u2019s Universal SASE platform, to its portfolio of network management and security solutions.

But, what about the strategies cyber-criminals are deploying to lay the groundwork for those cyber-attacks? How are we preventing these strategies from taking root? My team at CSC has been observing an increasing trend in domain security attacks that stem from what we call \u201csubmarine domain registrations\u201d \u2013 domains that are registered by criminals but remain unused and inactive for extended periods until the day of an actual cyber-attack. \u201cSubmarine domains\u201d is an analogy for the activity of these dormant domains, as they drop quietly within a domain ecosystem and then resurface again as a threat\u2014 just like a submarine.<\/p>\n Read on for more.<\/a><\/p>\n Cloudflare will appear in the Solutions Review studio on Thursday, August 22.
