Asigra launched Tigris Data Protection software with CDR (Content Disarm & Reconstruction). Asigra Tigris Data Protection software now includes CDR for protection against deeply embedded malware to address the ransomware threat, which now significantly increases the risk to both primary and backup data. 

The most recent generation of ransomware hides harmful code within content files that are frequently nested and compressed. Cybercriminals know that antimalware cannot scan what it cannot see, so they can avoid detection by using deeply embedded code. The data protection platform Asigra Tigris unifies cybersecurity and backup, fostering new levels of collaboration between data protection and security experts. 

Val Silva, CTO of Asigra “Worrisome increases in cybersecurity attacks on critical business systems has followed the rise in remote work environments over the past couple years. These attacks are commonly finding their way within corporate networks, and in many cases, specifically targeting backup systems. 

With Asigra CDR, Tigris Data Protection has reset the bar with ultra-secure backup that ensures organizations meet their business continuity objectives for absolute confidence in the ability to recover mission-critical data when needed.” 

The brand-new security feature, CDR, breaks down supported files into their smallest parts to find any embedded malicious code, macros, links, or executables. CDR reconstructs the original file without the malware after filtering and containing the malware. The technology eliminates any potential payload threats that are deeply buried within each file, outperforming predictive detection-based techniques. By maintaining file functionality and authenticity without the use of malicious code, the new CDR functionality ensures the integrity of the files. 

Asigra’s security architecture now includes soft-delete support, FIPS 140-2 certified encryption, bidirectional CDR, zero-day exploit protection, variable repository naming to non-standard names to prevent recognition, deep MFA (multi-factor authentication), and variable repository sanitization with inline detection on both the backup and recovery streams. 

Voltage File Analysis Suite (FAS), a cloud platform that combines the newest in data discovery and data protection, has received an update from CyberRes, a Micro Focus business. The business claims that SmartScan, a tool for intelligent sampling and dynamic tagging for petabyte-scale data discovery, is one of the new features of Voltage FAS that enables data analysts to locate the areas of higher data risk faster. 

Reiner Kappenberger, Director Product Management for Voltage Data Privacy and Protection at CyberRes, says, “The new CyberRes Voltage File Analysis Suite takes data security to the next level with its data discovery and protection capabilities within one solution. Since it is delivered as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, it possesses the scalability needed to meet the needs of any user’s data estate. Furthermore, the dynamic Voltage SmartScan tool provides users with the resources needed to conduct more prescriptive, deeper scans of their data infrastructure, and take more focused protective actions.” 

Voltage FAS, according to CyberRes, is not constrained by the limitations of physical or political boundaries, allowing users to reach and maintain compliance standards for the numerous privacy regulations that are becoming more and more prevalent around the world. 

With dynamic data masking and contextually aware entity detection for more than 39 nations and economic zones, Voltage FAS is intended to improve overall privacy awareness. Along with its availability as a SaaS platform, Voltage FAS is now also offered as an MSSP option with this release. By comprehending and overseeing existing data, Voltage FAS integrates with cloud, on-premises, and all hybrid models. Voltage FAS may also be used on private clouds, allowing organizations to effectively locate and safeguard their sensitive data without having any data leave the region, which is advantageous because some regions restrict data residency for organizations.

Ntrinsec launched a groundbreaking new key security automation platform. The platform reduces security issues related to improper key management and misuse of encryption keys. Ntrinsec delivers complete automation around all key lifecycle operations by integrating with third-party key management systems (KMS), hard security modules (HSMs), certificate authorities, and significant cloud providers. This will guarantee that all keys follow the best procedures and put an end to key compromises. 

Ntrinsec CEO, Michael Leidesdorff said, “With a potent combination of technology and a team with decades of expertise, Ntrinsec is in a prime position to solve today’s data protection challenges. We are excited to introduce the world’s first key security automation platform from Ntrinsec. Our goal is to protect organizations from data breaches, and this tool has the strength to do just that. Ntrinsec’s moving target defense approach is making sure that digital secrets are kept safe in perpetuity. Bad actors are increasingly exploiting key hygiene issues like key reuse and local wallets. With this attack vector quickly growing and industry standards calling only for annual key rotation, which is hopelessly out-of-date, a platform like Ntrinsec is needed now more than ever.” 

Ntrinsec has developed a moving-target protection method that outwits hackers in today’s more complicated situations by automating machine identification secrets at scale. To maintain good key hygiene and spot exploitable key reuse, users can automatically and safely map all keys and host computers within the platform. In order to successfully prevent data breaches before they ever start, Ntrinsec powers intelligent crypto-reduction strategies to develop anomaly detection and automate speedy remediation.
