Balbix Extends Cybersecurity Posture Automation Platform with Application Security and Risk Management Capabilities

prnewswire | April 19, 2023

Balbix, the leader in cybersecurity posture automation, today announced the addition of advanced Application Security and risk management capabilities to the Balbix Security Cloud platform. Enterprise cybersecurity teams can now efficiently identify, prioritize, and mitigate application vulnerabilities while accurately quantifying application risks in monetary terms. As with all other Balbix platform features, these capabilities work in a unified way uniformly across cloud-based and traditional applications. These new features demonstrate Balbix's focus on providing the most comprehensive attack surface visibility and automation for cyber risk management. In digital landscape, businesses rely heavily on software applications to engage with customers and manage operations. The recent increase in application component vulnerabilities, such as Log4j, Spring4Shell, and OpenSSL, emphasize the importance of robust application security measures. Balbix's AppSec and risk management capabilities are vital to securing applications, minimizing business risk and protecting customer data. Balbix's new AppSec module provides deep visibility into an organization's application inventory by automatically deduplicating, normalizing, and unifying application vulnerability data from multiple cybersecurity, IT and business tools. Balbix's unified risk model now incorporates application risk in monetary terms, providing organizations with an enhanced view of their cyber risk posture in business language. This enables security teams to prioritize and remediate application security vulnerabilities based on risk, in near real-time. Balbix's advanced AI capabilities provide for unparalleled automation, which eliminates numerous manual tasks and allows security teams to focus on high-priority issues. With its unified risk model, Balbix goes beyond traditional AppSec vendors to offer security teams comprehensive Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM) capabilities, advanced Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM), and Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ) use cases. Unlike other AppSec solutions, Balbix's approach provides a holistic view of cyber risk that enables organizations to prioritize and address the most critical risks. "Software application vulnerabilities are a growing concern for organizations, as the risk of data breaches and cyber-attacks continues to rise," said Ed Amoroso, Founder and CEO of research and advisory firm TAG Cyber. "Balbix's new AppSec capabilities help organizations identify potential vulnerabilities and implement effective security measures to prevent adversaries from exploiting them. By providing a normalized source of truth for application inventory and vulnerabilities, Balbix enables businesses to gain a comprehensive understanding of their security posture and make informed decisions regarding risk management and resource allocation." Balbix's AppSec features not only stand-out at discovering and prioritizing application vulnerabilities and quantifying application risk, but they also provide a crucial link between the application layer and the underlying infrastructure. This is achieved through an industry-first application-to-infrastructure mapping capability, which allows businesses to visualize the relationships between their applications and the infrastructure on which they depend. Gaurav Banga, Founder and CEO of Balbix, underscores the critical nature of effective application security in today's rapidly evolving threat landscape. "Our mission at Balbix is to help organizations enhance their cybersecurity posture through maximal automation and AI. By introducing our new AppSec capabilities, we're advancing that mission, equipping security teams with the tools necessary to swiftly and accurately identify, prioritize and fix vulnerabilities in their applications." About Balbix Balbix enables businesses to reduce cyber risk by quickly identifying and mitigating their riskiest cybersecurity issues. Our SaaS platform, the Balbix Security Cloud™, ingests data from businesses' security and IT tools so they can understand every aspect of their cybersecurity posture, build a unified cyber risk model and obtain actionable insights for risk reduction. With Balbix, businesses can automate and unify their cloud and on-prem asset inventory, conduct continuous risk-based vulnerability management and quantify cyber risk in dollars. Executives and operational teams can make cybersecurity decisions based on data, not opinions.

Eclypsium Launches Supply Chain Security Platform for Enterprise Infrastructure

businesswire | April 26, 2023

RSA Conference-- Eclypsium®, the digital supply chain security company protecting enterprises’ critical hardware, firmware, and software, today announced the release of its Supply Chain Security Platform. The new platform enables an organization’s IT security and operations teams to continuously identify and monitor the bill of materials, integrity and vulnerability of components and system code in each device, providing insight into the overall supply chain risk to the organization. One unique capability in the platform is the SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) generated for each component and system code in enterprise devices which provides an industry-standard format for visibility into components and dependencies comprising a device’s technology, verifying integrity and monitoring for critical risks. “There are unique challenges that come with understanding the underlying risks of the digital supply chain,” said Yuriy Bulygin, CEO and Co-Founder of Eclypsium. “There is an innate lack of visibility into an organization’s IT infrastructure when the very nature of third, fourth, and nth party relationships cause a dramatic increase in security risk. It’s extremely difficult for security teams to take an independent and consistent approach to verifying the integrity and security posture of software, firmware and components in their devices. It is critical that enterprises be able to standardize this approach across their technology supply chain eliminating blind trust in their vendors and manufacturers. This is why we built the Eclypsium Supply Chain Security Platform.” Today’s supply chains have grown significantly in size and complexity. The attack surface has expanded exponentially with the increased reliance on third-party vendors and components, and organizations face more blind spots than ever. In 2022, the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report cited supply chain as responsible for over 60% of system intrusion incidents. Data breaches resulting from supply chain attacks have grown so rapidly that they have now surpassed the number of malware-based compromises by 40%, according to the 2022 Data Breach Report by the Identity Theft Resource Center. The number of entities targeted by supply chain attacks increased 235% from 2021 to 2022. Eclypsium has long offered a security solution purpose-built to identify, verify, and fortify the critical system code within enterprise infrastructure and devices. The Eclypsium Supply Chain Security Platform includes capabilities to verify the bill of materials (SBOM), integrity and mitigate supply chain security risk in infrastructure devices and equipment enterprises rely upon, below the surface of applications. Providing end-to-end protection for the underlying components of enterprise infrastructure and devices, Eclypsium’s platform equips businesses with the tools and insights needed to secure the digital supply chains against disruptions, data loss, and other costly risks of cyberattack. ABOUT ECLYPSIUM Eclypsium’s cloud-based platform provides digital supply chain security for critical software, firmware and hardware in enterprise infrastructure. Eclypsium helps enterprises and government agencies mitigate risks to their infrastructure from complex technology supply chains.
