IGXGlobal to provide managed detection and response security services across Europe
e
Plus has announced that its London-based subsidiary , IGXGlobal UK Limited , has expanded its security services portfolio to include a new Managed Detection and Response ( MDR ) offering that will help customers across Europe defend against growing cyberthreats .
The addition of MDR services to IGXGlobal ’ s roster will provide enterprise clients with access to technology that can enhance protection of their organisations with aroundthe-clock security monitoring and alerting , threat detection and incident management from global managed security operations centres .
In the face of a growing cyber skills gap and ongoing budget constraints , the MDR service will enable IGXGlobal customers to more quickly and easily implement technology and expertise that allows them to be proactive and responsive to threats .
“ As cybersecurity threats become increasingly complex and evasive of traditional security controls , many organisations lack the resources and tooling to monitor and respond to these security threats ,” said Richard Dunthorne , Services Director of IGXGlobal . “ IGXGlobal now has the ability to provide customers with next-generation security technology , including Machine Learning and behaviour analytics , threat intelligence , AI-based threat models and business context modelling , to help identify and analyse threats more efficiently for a quicker and more comprehensive response .”
IGXGlobal will work in collaboration with Proficio , a longstanding and trusted partner of ePlus Technology , to provide and accelerate the use of its MDR security technology in key European markets .
Veracode releases enhanced API scanning to tackle cyberattacks V eracode has launched an advanced scanning tool that enables organisations to find and fix vulnerabilities in APIs ( Application Programming Interfaces ).
The new capability leverages Veracode ’ s powerful Dynamic Analysis ( DAST ) scanning engine to provide comprehensive security insights and remediation guidance for APIs as early and efficiently as possible .
With the rapid acceleration of Digital Transformation for businesses as a result of COVID-19 , APIs are more critical than ever to build modern applications . They allow easy data transmission from one product or service to another , making information available on many systems . At the same time , they also create a desirable attack vector for cybercriminals .
According to Gartner , ‘ By 2022 , API abuses will move from an infrequent to the most-frequent attack vector , resulting in data breaches for enterprise web applications ’.
“ The explosion of APIs means that application development is becoming more fragmented and decentralised in nature , so the attack surface is growing exponentially ,” said Brian Roche , Chief Product Officer at Veracode . “ As such , API scanning has become the most-requested feature by our customers as they look for a solution that saves time , frees up resources and provides peace of mind .”
Roche added : “ Strong API security is fast becoming one of the top concerns for enterprises and a table stakes capability for CISOs . In a world where every relationship should start with Zero Trust , regular API scanning must be a cornerstone of any robust software security strategy .”
