Sepio Systems has launched a new solution for threat detection that fills gaps left by existing solutions. It identifies the true identities of assets, establishes trust and continuously validates the level of threat for all connected assets, regardless of their interface, managing to protect the entire asset attack surface as fast as any asset presents a threat. The solution automatically prioritizes asset risks in real-time, helping enterprises instantly understand what needs attention to expedite time to resolution. Sepio Systems claims that its solution offers a deeper, more comprehensive device analysis than existing solutions, assessing and scoring the risk level of all hardware assets with greater accuracy. Sepio Systems’ new approach is designed to be infinitely scalable and has a low cost of ownership due to its ease of deployment and low maintenance requirements.

Seraphic Security has introduced a new approach to threat detection by providing high-fidelity signals through a unique platform that detects and protects against web-based attacks, browser exploitation, and phishing sites. Seraphic Security works within any web browser by creating an abstraction layer between incoming code and the renderers that process it. The platform is significantly different from its competitors since it does not require traffic steering, dedicated browser or browser extension, but works natively and performs analysis locally. Seraphic Security evaluates over 200 runtime parameters and detects and blocks exploits, web-based attacks, and phishing sites without any external dependencies. Seraphic Security offers agility to businesses without compromising security requirements, and the total cost of ownership is very close to the per-seat subscription cost. Product updates are released weekly, and deployment of Seraphic Security helps customers with cost reduction and cost avoidance. Based on the competitive landscape and customer growth, Seraphic currently has about 25% to 30% of the enterprise browser security market.

New research by Vectra shows that 7 out of 10 security leaders believe their environment has been infiltrated by attackers, but they are unsure of the entry point. This uncertainty is the greatest cyber risk facing multi-cloud enterprises, according to the company. Vectra aims to combat this issue with its AI-driven threat detection and response platform, which provides attack coverage, signal clarity, and intelligent control across all hybrid cloud attack surfaces, including networks, SaaS, and identities. The Vectra platform includes various solutions, including network detection and response for on-premises and cloud networks, identity detection and response for Microsoft Azure AD, and cloud detection and response for Microsoft 365 SaaS and AWS services. The company claims that its platform can detect and stop cyberattacks and alleviate the challenges faced by security operations centers. Vectra ranks in the top three for NDR market share, according to estimates, but accurate comparisons are difficult because vendors report revenue in different ways.
