New Taegis™ IDR solution stops identity-based attacks in real time
ATLANTA, Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Secureworks®, (NASDAQ: SCWX), a global leader in cybersecurity, today announced a new industry benchmark of 90 seconds to discover identity related risks and misconfigurations*, an issue that impacts 95% of organizations.  Launched today, Secureworks Taegis™ IDR, a new Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) solution, proactively closes security gaps by leveraging advanced AI and machine learning, to automatically detect, prioritize and respond to identity-based threats across an organization’s environment and the dark web.

Identity remains one of the top three access vectors for ransomware and in the last three years, Secureworks Counter Threat Unit™ (CTU™) has observed a 688% increase in stolen credentials offered for sale on one of the dark web’s largest marketplaces. Analysis of Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Microsoft Azure Active Directory) environments by the Secureworks Incident Response team has revealed that 95% are misconfigured, opening the door for cyber criminals to escalate privileges and carry out identity-based attacks. It’s clear that the risk around identity is the unsolved puzzle of cyber, creating opportunities for threat actors to exploit and cause havoc.  
“Taegis IDR has significantly improved visibility into our identity risks. Having a centralized view within our XDR platform enables us to feed the identity and misconfiguration risks Taegis IDR has spotlighted into all our security programs, therefore improving our overall organizational cyber posture and reducing risk,” said Richard Hay, Information Security Director, First Community Bank.
“Identity is the fuel of the cybercriminal ecosystem and today we’re cutting off their supply,” stated Kyle Falkenhagen, Chief Product Officer, Secureworks. “Taegis IDR constantly monitors an organization’s environment and the dark web to automatically prevent, detect, prioritize and respond to identity-based threats that bypass traditional identity security controls. Unifying identity protection with the latest threat intelligence, AI, and broad visibility across endpoints, cloud and other applications, Taegis IDR uncovers misconfigurations to improve identity security posture with speed and precision.”  
Taegis IDR protects against 100% of MITRE ATT&CK Credential Access techniques**, including kerberoasting, password spraying and brute force attacks. Taegis IDR includes the following capabilities:
Reduces identity attack surfaces: Continuously scans Microsoft Entra ID environments to identify misconfigurations and security gaps.Decreases risk of leaked or stolen credentials: Monitors and alerts when credentials have been exposed in data breaches or on the dark web.Identifies risky user behaviors: Monitors for abnormal activity associated with the use of stolen credentials.Provides full visibility into identities: Within 90 seconds organizations have visibility of identities across systems, allowing teams to work effectively to address exposures before they can be exploited.Protects against identity-based threats: Detects credential compromise, insider threats, kerberoasting, password spraying, lateral movement, account takeover, brute force attacks and more before they can impact the business.Accelerates response to identity threats: Leverages automated playbooks to take immediate response actions including disabling a user, forcing a password reset, locking an account and revoking a session.Unifies ITDR and extended detection and response (XDR): Delivers comprehensive prevention, detection and response in a single cybersecurity platform.For more information, please click here.

SeaBubbles Accelerates Sustainable Maritime Mobility with SmartBubble and Strategic Acquisition

Published

SAINT JORIOZ, France, Sept. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SeaBubbles, French pioneer in zero-emission hydrofoils, strengthens its commitment to ecological transition with the launch of SmartBubble, new flying boat model combining cutting-edge technology with iconic design. This innovative vessel, designed to carry up to eight people at a speed of 16 knots (30 km/h), takes its passengers on a silent and environmentally friendly flight, ideal for water taxi services and urban transportation.

SmartBubble: Concentration of Technology and Design
Following the success of its first public line on Lake Annecy, where hundreds of passengers experienced the unique sensation of flying aboard The Bubble (4-seater model), SeaBubbles reaches a new milestone with the homologation of the SmartBubble (8-seater model) and its four patents, including retractable foils.
SmartBubble technology is geared towards energy efficiency. The submerged wings (foils) equipped with automatic flaps allow to fly at low speeds, saving 40% of energy required. This unique boat has just been presented afloat for the first time at the Cannes Yachting Festival.
SeaBubbles Strengthens Flight Control Expertise with Neocean Acquisition
SeaBubbles also announces the acquisition of Neocean technology, to accelerate the development of flight control expertise, specifically on “inverted T” foils. Neocean is renowned for developing the Overboat, foiling catamaran with proven stability and maneuverability.
SeaBubbles is a key player in hydrofoil navigation, technology that improves energy efficiency of boats, particularly electric ones. The flight control system is a central element of the flight experience: it is designed to ensure stable flight by dynamically and autonomously managing the mechanical inclination of the flaps on the trailing edges of the foils.
SeaBubbles: Vision for the Future
SeaBubbles’ ambition is to revolutionize urban and suburban maritime transport with more efficient and environmentally friendly boats. Examples such as the Calanques National Park, Norwegian fjords, alpine lakes or the canals of Amsterdam demonstrate a committed initiative towards the preservation of aquatic ecosystems by gradually banning the circulation of thermal boats.
“Foils significantly reduce the drag of our boats, allowing our hydrofoils to move more easily and with less energy than a conventional boat: a considerable gain in cost and energy,” explains Virginie Seurat, CEO of SeaBubbles. “The acquisition of Neocean marks a decisive turning point and prepares us for our industrialization phase. We are ready to redefine the pleasure of boating and offer boats that comply with increasingly stringent environmental standards, while offering unique sailing comfort – zero noise, zero waves, zero emissions.”
