Prophet Security emerges from stealth and raises $11 million: Prophet Security emerged from stealth with $11 million in seed financing led by Bain Capital Ventures (BCV) with participation from several security leaders and angel investors. At the core of the company’s unveiling is Prophet AI for Security Operations, an AI-powered platform that triages, investigates, and responds to alerts in seconds, slashing mean time to response (MTTR) by 10x. By eliminating manual, repetitive tasks, Prophet Security improves analysts’ productivity and empowers them to focus on … More → The post Prophet Security emerges from stealth and raises $11 million appeared first on Help Net Security.

Last week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Fahmida Y Rashid about Abstract’s emergence from stealth and $8.5M Seed round investment led by Crosslink Capital, Rally Venturesand Liquid 2 Ventures. Thanks Tom Reilly and Matt Bigge for contributing their perspective to the conversation. Every day I wake up feeling grateful to work on solving a problem that I saw developing in the market in 2002, but this conversation especially reignited my purpose, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with our talented team and beta-customers as we refine Abstract’s security analytics platform. Our mission is simple: to deliver on the promise that current offerings fall short of, while lowering costs. By giving security analysts access to the tools they need to correlate data in real-time between streams, separate compliance, and security data to increase detection effectiveness, analysts can focus on the threats that matter.

“Cybersecurity, a foundational pillar within the business, not something of consequence.” ~ Marcelo Dantas, CIO Automic Group in his recent interview with CIO Leadership Live: https://lnkd.in/eunUVhMD #automicgroup #cio #registry #cybersecurity

Wiz buys Dazz, a major validation of #ASPM. Though we differ considerably from wiz on the path forward.  Our customers want an independent governance layer, not more silo rigidity. Read our post and blog here to better understand why.

Nikhil Gupta and Barmak Meftah your vision and investment thesis are so well thought out. I believe in the purpose, vision and mission. We are in such an important position to solve an exponentially growing challenge for customers. There are so many reasons that the independent approach are critical for success. This is by far the right approach for what customers not only need to solve for today but in the unknowns of the future. #Independence #ASPM #RBVM #UVM #UFM

Bootstrapping is more viable when the product does not require sensitive data or can be segmented away. This allows founders to avoid many of the hurdles around risk aversion. https://lnkd.in/gBAagrfm

Making difficult things easy : Introduction Alert -🚨 - Wiz's Image Trust and Kubernetes Audit Log Collector The best defense is prevention as it is way better than cure, especially if you have full contextual insights across cloud, entitlements, secrets, Kubernetes, SBOM, and way more; where you are able to only allow trusted golden images that meet organisational security baselines to be deployed. Ensuring the trustworthiness of those container images is essential for mitigating security risks. However, validating images from trusted sources and managing vulnerabilities can be complex and time-consuming. The combination of Wiz CLI and Wiz Admission Controller helps to enhance security across the SDLC: Wiz CLI scans images for vulnerabilities, sensitive data, and secrets, adhering to organizational policies, and the Wiz Admission Controller allows only those images validated in authorized CI/CD pipelines. This ensures the deployment of trusted, policy-compliant images with Wiz's native tooling without the need for third-party tools. It is reducing risks associated with deployments on Kubernetes clusters. Of course maintaining near real-time visibility of Kubernetes cluster activity is crucial to effectively detecting and mitigating security threats. However, operationalizing audit log collection across different cloud providers can prove challenging. Indeed, all CSPs provide different log formats, default configurations, streaming methodologies and have associated costs. It quickly becomes a headache. That's where the Kubernetes audit log collector comes in. Combined with Wiz CNAPP CDR's existing capabilities, It enables you to easily collect K8s control plane audit logs from any Kubernetes cluster, including #EKS, #AKS, #GKE, or self-managed, and ingest them into Wiz CDR. This capability enables near-real-time visibility into your cluster control plane activity. It detects suspicious and malicious behavior by correlating audit logs with container and host-level activities through the Wiz Sensor and cloud control plane activities via cloud log collection. For example, Wiz will detect and alert you about anonymous access to your Kubernetes cluster followed by admin role creation and cryptomining-related activity.  There is way more to tell about how we keep you secure in all you build and run in the cloud by using unlimited contextual insights! recommend to follow the link to read more: https://lnkd.in/ez_sNjTe The CNAPP Revolution is real, it’s here so start using it today, as the future is now!
