Cyware's solutions help turn cybersecurity into a cohesive, streamlined, and collaborative operational unit

Aiding enterprise cybersecurity teams to build platform-agnostic virtual cyber fusion centers, Cyware is transforming its security operations by delivering the Virtual Cyber Fusion Center Platform with next-generation SOAR (security orchestration, automation, and response) and threat intelligence technology. Cyware's Virtual Cyber Fusion solutions make secure collaboration, information sharing, and enhanced threat visibility a reality for enterprises, sharing communities (ISAC/ISAO), MSSPs, and government agencies of all sizes and needs. As the provider of threat intelligence sharing platform for 12 major ISACs, Cyware provides a new level of visibility, insight, and actionability to its rapidly expanding customer base. In a chat with VARINDIA, Akshat Jain, CTO and Co-founder, Cyware points out the current security trends, their latest security technologies, their future roadmap etc. 

The present security trends
Discussing the present security trends, Akshat says, “The pandemic-induced growth in the use of digital technologies and the adoption of a hybrid work environment for enterprises of all sizes and across many sectors has changed the cyber landscape drastically. As the technology infrastructure becomes increasingly distributed, threat actors are capitalizing on the new extended attack surface with endless attacks on remote access solutions, virtual collaboration tools, and the software and hardware supply-chains. The rise in the number of smart, connected devices for various applications has further added to the security risks faced by individuals and organizations alike. Ransomware threats and social engineering attacks exploiting ongoing trends have also made things worse. In the continual game of cat and mouse between the defenders and the threat actors, the addition of new technologies into the mix only creates more security risks for organizations.”

Leveraging the latest security technologies
Cyware has pioneered the Virtual Cyber Fusion platform as a solution to turn cybersecurity into a cohesive, streamlined, and collaborative operational unit for organizations. Akshat depicts, “It connects various security functions under a single roof to provide enhanced adversary visibility, threat response capabilities, and ease of governance. Cyware’s Virtual Cyber Fusion solutions deliver advanced Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) capabilities to enable enterprises and MSSPs to build automated cross-functional workflows that can orchestrate security actions across cloud-based, on-premise, or hybrid infrastructure. By making a diverse set of tools and technologies interoperable, Cyware enables security teams to drastically reduce the time spent on manual, repetitive tasks and rapidly eliminate threats from their networks and systems. Cyware’s Virtual Cyber Fusion solution also delivers advanced threat intelligence operationalization and automation capabilities to help drive security processes with a precise understanding of adversary behavior for enabling proactive defense.”

 
The starting of the new normal
On Cyware’s steps taken after the starting of the new work culture, Akshat says, “Cyware has taken numerous steps to safeguard the wellbeing of all its employees by introducing special benefits to help them set up their work-from-home environment, doubling the health insurance coverage, and setting up a separate corpus to help battle COVID-19 cases. Cyware set up an internal COVID task force for provisioning assistance to employees living across different parts of the country and organized a vaccination drive to ensure full coverage for all the employees. In case of infection, Cyware employees can also avail COVID-specific leaves to get the necessary treatment or take rest. Moreover, the company has ensured that the mental health of employees is taken care of during these challenging times by providing counseling support and organizing fun employee engagement activities.”

Robust solutions to mitigate the situation
Ransomware threats can enter an organization through many different attack vectors and stay undetected for long periods of time before finally executing their set objectives. “In order to curb such threats, Cyware’s threat intelligence solutions help organizations proactively predict threats so as to fill the gaps in their infrastructure against known threats and deploy proactive mitigation measures. In cases where a threat manages to infiltrate their network, security teams need to mount a rapid and effective threat response. Cyware’s information sharing solutions help alert all the relevant stakeholders within and outside the organization and trigger the right level of collective response. This is where Cyware’s SOAR solutions become the game changer by helping automate and smartly orchestrate the security actions needed to identify, isolate, mitigate, and triage a threat. Furthermore, Cyware’s Virtual Cyber Fusion Center ensures that security leaders have complete visibility over the threat management processes and their cybersecurity posture for long-term resilience against critical threats,” Akshat comments.

To conclude
While giving his concluding remarks, Akshat shares Cyware’s future roadmap for 2022 while saying that cybersecurity has inherently become a factor that can make or break the bottom line for organizations. "Cyware is well-positioned to enable organizations to step up their cybersecurity postures with its cyber fusion solutions that combine threat intelligence, security orchestration and automation, and situational awareness. Cyware is rapidly expanding its operations across major geographical regions and witnessing a rapid adoption of its solutions across all industry sectors and organization types, including Fortune2000 enterprises, information sharing communities (ISACs/ISAOs), National CERTs, and Regulatory Bodies, Industry Associations, and more. Cyware continues to write an exciting growth story by moving the needle with its cyber fusion center and bringing together the good actors in the fight against cyber threats.”
