Dell Unifying Fragmented Security Market

 Dell has unveiled product integrations and innovation within its security portfolio that provide organizations with exceptional protection, and turn security into a business enabler.

Network security, identity and access management and governance, mobile security, endpoint security, and services are today’s organizations’ most critical needs as they fight to keep their networks and data secure, maintain compliance and drive business goals.

For those reasons, Dell said in a press statement released on Wednesday, it now offers identity and access management-as-a-service (IAMaaS), new integrated products such as the Dell Change Auditor for Cloud Storage with Dell Data Protection | Cloud Edition, and is the first to publicly demonstrate 120 Gbps of deep packet inspection (DPI) next-generation firewall (NGFW) architecture.

These solution enhancements help change the culture of compliance within organizations, strengthen the overall security posture to enable easier adoption of technologies like cloud and mobile, and increase business agility, allowing customers to become more efficient and competitive in the marketplace.

The IT security market is highly fragmented, with dozens of “best-of-breed” solutions addressing narrow aspects of security.

Often, companies end up with either a patchwork collection of security products from multiple vendors that have gaping holes between them, or monolithic security frameworks that are inflexible and extremely expensive to administer.

These frameworks operate separately from the business objectives, and still leave gaping holes that must be addressed with yet another security solution from yet another vendor.

Comprehensive portfolio of security solutions built to protect, comply and enable the business

Dell’s approach to security is based on simplicity, efficiency and connectivity that tie together the splintered aspects of IT security into one, modular and integrated solution capable of sharing insights and control across the organization.

It also makes security simpler, so that business users can manage the rules and policies, and end users can easily comply. Dell delivers on this promise with the following new and updated offerings announced on Wednesday include:

Identity and Access Management-as-a-Service: Most IAMaaS offerings are aimed at narrow use cases with an emphasis on the uniqueness of SaaS rather than solving actual, critical IAM pain points.

Dell’s robust One Identity-as-a-Service solution, however, includes not only access control, but also provisioning and governance, making all three tenets of IAM available in SaaS format to companies that prefer to outsource rather than expend resources, staff or budget to deploy an on-premises IAM solution.

Integrations between products across the Dell Security portfolio now include: Dell Data Protection | Cloud Edition (DDP | CE), and Change Auditor for Cloud Storage gives you real-time protection, auditing, and alerting of data uploaded, modified and downloaded from popular cloud storage sites – with zero impact to end users.

Customers can enforce greater encryption capability and IT control for organizations that need to broadly share sensitive data across the organization through Dropbox, Box, and OneDrive.

New Dell Software Suite works seamlessly with Dell clients or across heterogeneous environments to simplify client security, management and delivery.

This solution incorporates Dell Secure Mobile Access to facilitate mobile worker productivity, while protecting organizations from threats by enforcing access control policies that ensure only trusted users, devices and authorized apps are granted VPN access.

Dell’s new password reset feature, soon to be included on all Dell Commercial Client systems, allows end users to reset their own PC password without having to contact IT.

End users simply use the Security Tools Mobile App from their supported smartphone to generate a one-time password. This password securely enables access to their PC credential manager, which empowers them to reset their own passwords, making end users more productive and lowering IT spend for customers.

120 Gbps of deep packet inspection next-generation firewall scalable architecture: The proliferation of mobile devices, use of cloud-based applications, and emergence of big data has caused traffic volumes to rise to unprecedented levels, driving demand for greater bandwidth.

This means that the network security layer also must be highly extensible to support the largest of data centers’ bandwidth consumptions with near zero-downtime, at the lowest possible total cost of ownership (TCO).

Onsite at Dell World, Dell will give the industry’s first demonstration of 120 Gbps DPI NGFWs for carriers and ISPs, a next-generation firewall scalable architecture that enables organizations to scale beyond 120 Gbps DPI performance and gain network simplicity, highest security efficacy and resiliency to solve their most complex and demanding data center operations — all at a low cost.

Matt Medeiros, senior vice president and general manager, Dell Security said, “Even though organizations today spend more than ever before to protect their systems and comply with internal and regulatory requirements, something is always falling through the cracks. With the ever-growing threat landscape continuing to put businesses at risk, companies just can’t afford for that to happen. Dell understands what it takes to protect organizations while allowing IT security to be an innovation driver, rather than an obstacle, so we continue to innovate and integrate our solutions to fill gaps in security and enable organizations to focus on driving their business goals, confident that they’re protected and risk is mitigated.”

On his part, Hemen Vimadal, CEO – Simeio Solutions said, “We recognize Dell’s leadership when it comes to delivering a comprehensive IAM solution, and we are pleased to partner with an industry leader to offer a full-featured Identity as a Service solution to organizations that typically struggle to address IAM needs. The Simeio Business-Ready IAM Cloud delivered via the industry’s first and only Identity Intelligence Center, provides our clients with a higher level of security and reliability.”

Microsoft Servers Hacked by Chinese Groups

Chinese “threat actors” have hacked Microsoft’s SharePoint document software servers and targeted the data of the businesses using it, the firm has said.

Microsoft Servers Hacked by Chinese Groups

 

China state-backed Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon as well as China-based Storm-2603 were said to have “exploited vulnerabilities” in on-premises SharePoint servers, the kind used by firms, but not in its cloud-based service.

The US tech giant has released security updates in response and has advised all on-premises SharePoint server customers to install them.

“Investigations into other actors also using these exploits are still ongoing,” Microsoft said in a statement.

The firm said it had “high confidence” the hackers would continue to target systems which have not installed its security updates.

It added that it would update its website blog with more information as its investigation continues.

Microsoft said it had observed attacks in which hackers had sent a request to a SharePoint server “enabling the theft of the key material by threat actors”.

Charles Carmakal, chief technology officer at Mandiant Consulting firm, a division of Google Cloud, told reporter, it was “aware of several victims in several different sectors across a number of global geographies”.

Carmakal said it appeared that governments and businesses that use SharePoint on their sites were the primary target.

A number of adversaries who stole material encoded by cryptography were then able to regain ongoing access to the victims’ SharePoint data, he said.

“This was exploited in a very broad way, very opportunistically before a patch was made available. That’s why this is significant,” Carmakal said.

Carmakal said the “China-nexus actor” was deploying techniques similar to previous campaigns associated with Beijing.

Microsoft said Linen Typhoon had “focused on stealing intellectual property, primarily targeting organizations related to government, defence, strategic planning, and human rights” for 13 years.

It added that Violet Typhoon had been “dedicated to espionage”, primarily targeting former government and military staff, non-governmental organizations, think tanks, higher education, the media, the financial sector and the health sector in the US, Europe, and East Asia.

Meanwhile, Storm-2603 was “assessed with medium confidence to be a China-based threat actor”.
