\"sharkfin\"Enterprise SIEM vendor BlackStratus has announced<\/a> the release of CYBERShark, a new SIEM-as-a-service (SIEMaaS?) offering aimed at the small to midsize business (SMB) market.<\/p>\n

The New Jersey-based company, formerly known as netForensics has enjoyed success in the enterprise SIEM business, where it claims to have brought “proven enterprise-class security and compliance” to “thousands of large enterprise customers,” now aims to bring those capabilities to SMBs, at an affordable price, through the cloud.<\/p>\n

Cybercriminals often attack small and midsized businesses to launch attacks against large enterprise targets because, in addition to their own data, most SMBs have access to partners’ computer systems and access to their valuable data and intellectual property. In a recent report by the National Security Alliance about the cybersecurity threats on SMBs, the following statistics were given: 71% of data breaches target small businesses; 69% of cyber attacks target retail and restaurants; 96% of data breaches target payment card data, and 60% of small businesses close within six months of experiencing a data breach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\u00a0Previously the SMB market was unable to afford advanced security and compliance technology\u2014especially SIEM\u2014 because of its enormous cost. To remediate this, BlackStratus’s CYBERShark technology aims to offer SMBs an affordable solution that\u00a0offers the same level of protection as the largest enterprises in the world.<\/p>\n

“To directly address the growing number of cyber security breaches on small to midsize businesses, we developed CYBERShark, the industry’s first SMB security and compliance service that is both affordable and delivers the same level of protection as our large enterprise customers receive,” said Dale Cline<\/span>, CEO of BlackStratus. “At BlackStratus we strive to be an innovator and leader in the cyber security market that transcends the boundaries of traditional on-premise solutions with innovative products that rapidly and dramatically improve security for organizations while leveraging the power of cloud computing to reduce the cost and complexity of maintaining a SIEM infrastructure.”<\/p>\n
