news Verizon business expands security portfolio with new solutions to help combat cybercrime erizon Business is V expanding its security portfolio with new security solutions to help businesses better protect themselves against cybercrime: Verizon Managed Detection and Response; Verizon Identity and Verizon Machine State Integrity. Verizon has also enhanced its Rapid Response Retainer service which offers companies cyber intelligence and incident response capabilities directly from the Verizon Threat Research Advisory Center (VTRAC). Verizon Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a new managed security service which leverages analytics and behaviour modelling to help organisations quickly identify potential cyberthreats. The fully managed, scalable, cloud-based solution overlays Verizon’s core remote threat monitoring, detection and response capabilities with builtin multilayer analytics and behaviour modelling from Securonix. Verizon MDR is available globally from April 2020. Verizon Identity (VID) and Verizon Machine State Integrity both leverage Blockchain. Blockchain’s decentralised nature elevates enterprise security with no single point of weakness in the solution for cybercriminals to exploit. Verizon ID enables users to store identity credentials in a secure ‘digital identity safe’ on their mobile devices, which can be easily and securely accessed and validated, potentially eliminating the need for passwords. The solution encrypts and distributes identity data across multiple online servers on the Blockchain, so there is no centralised database or single point of entry for breach attempts, and also incorporates multi-factor authentication and biometrics for advanced identity protection. Verizon’s Machine State Integrity solution sources operational data from decentralised machine environments to offer clear, actionable insights on potential compliance and security issues. Verizon’s Rapid Response Retainer puts the full capabilities and experience of the VTRAC team at the disposal of customers in as little as six hours from an incident report (dependent on specific customer retainers), and can now be fully customised to fit customer needs.
