Elevate Security launched a new SaaS offering building on Elevate’s cyber risk intelligence capabilities to deliver risk assessments, visibility to company-wide internal cyber risk, and the ability to deliver risk-adjusted security controls at the individual worker level. Elevate offers a comprehensive user risk analysis that is based on millions of independent data points. 

The need for aggressive management of internal threats is now gaining prominence, even though many organizations have implemented external security measures. With the current spikes in ransomware, malware, and supply chain attacks making headlines, several recent research reports identify worker risk as the new primary reason behind cyberattacks. 

Robert Fly, CEO at Elevate stated, “The inspiration for Elevate’s unique approach grew out of our own frustration identifying and deterring high risk workers. Our customers are now benefiting across security operations, governance and risk management, insurance, and strategy. Today’s announcement helps further address growing customer demand with easy to implement out-of-the-box solutions tailored for specific situations and cyber maturity levels.” 

Elevate reduces workforce risk by integrating data feeds from different parts of the company and outside sources to generate a unique risk score for each employee, which works a lot like a credit score. 

An ever-evolving Human Risk Score is created by combining risk factors like employee susceptibility to phishing, sensitive data handling, safe browsing, and password management with demographics and other traits. 

Elevate’s Human Risk Score can influence every aspect of an organization’s security posture, from zero trust to data protection and more, thanks to its close integration with security controls. 

Controls can then be tailored to each individual’s risk level, ensuring that the entire workforce is productive while also safeguarding high-risk individuals, the organization, and itself from employee-predator attacks. 

The Elevate platform was developed to address unintentional user risk: 

• predicts when and how attackers will target risky users by identifying them 
• uses risk-based safety measures to keep them and the company safe 

• automates giving managers and users personalized feedback 
• The idea for Elevate’s distinctive approach originated from our own 

ThreatLocker, a cybersecurity company that provides businesses and managed service providers (MSPs) with enterprise-level tools to protect endpoints, announced the release of ThreatLocker Network Access Control (NAC), which controls inbound traffic to endpoints to add a new layer of security to the company’s zero trust platform. 

Danny Jenkins, CEO of ThreatLocker, said “With remote work as the standard practice, the local network is no more. Companies need to have full visibility of the traffic going to their endpoints, as nation-state threat actors and everyday cybercriminals are hitting targets across every industry. This is a pivotal moment in the battle to stop attacks that have been launched on remotely accessible servers, including MSPs RMM servers. 

Customers can now configure network access to endpoints using global policies thanks to ThreatLocker’s introduction of NAC. Whether it’s a local server or a remote laptop, the solution provides visibility into all permitted and denied inbound traffic within a single audit. Like a typical firewall, policies can be created. A centralized view of endpoints is offered to clients by the cloud-managed system. 

Neal Juern from Juern Technology, a Texas-based MSP stated, “We now have the ability to take RMM servers off the general internet while dynamically allowing agents to connect from where they are without a VPN… This gives us peace of mind knowing that we are protected against an RMM vulnerability that could allow an attacker to use our tools to push ransomware to clients.” 

Box Inc., the industry-leading provider of content clouds, unveiled a new set of features for Box Sign, its built-in e-signature functionality. This decision was taken to encourage clients to transfer more of their transactions to the cloud. Through this, users can publish documents for electronic signature, update signature requests in flight, enhance the signer experience, and more using these features, which are already available. 

Box additionally declared that starting right now, Box Sign is accessible to all Box users at no additional charge. 

Diego Dugatkin, Chief Product Officer at Box stated, “The future of work is digital-first and paper-based processes hold companies back from reaching their full potential. Since entering the e-signature space, our north star has been to deliver all customers with a simple, secure, and cost-effective e-signature solution. Today, we take another big step towards achieving that goal by expanding Box Sign’s core capabilities so that customers can do more with The Box Content Cloud without added costs. We are just getting started within this space, and customers can expect to see even more innovation for Box Sign in the future.” 

Features of the new box sign 

Box Sign, a feature included in all Box plans, enables users to complete employee, customer, and partner transactions digitally and gives them access to e-signature capabilities. Box Sign is already being used by more than 500,000 Box users to speed up digital transactions, and this number will increase as new use cases are opened by improved Box Sign features. With the enhancements made today, users of Box Sign can now streamline high-volume business procedures for standardized documents including NDAs, event registrations, liability waivers, and more. Businesses can now use the Box Content Cloud to quickly and securely complete more of their signature-based business operations, thereby lowering their IT costs.
