The collaboration between the two companies will leverage Threatray’s core engine to perform code reuse analysis and identify malware variants with a high degree of resilience. It will enable a more accurate tracking of actors and campaigns to better inform threat landscape reporting. Finally, this joint research effort will generate higher value IOC extraction supporting improved detection, triaging, threat hunting and incident response.

“The depth and breadth of Threatray’s malware identification will help provide our portfolio companies with a greater and richer level of insights and reporting,” said Mark Arena, CEO of Intel 471. “The threat landscape is ever changing in terms of severity and complexity. Partnering with industry leaders like Threatray ensures that we can continue to deliver on our promise of premier cyber threat intelligence.”

Threatray has developed an entire novel and highly scalable search engine for code that finds relationships between malware threats currently invisible to other technologies. Bringing the power of search to malware defense allows Threatray to innovate significantly in threat identification and attribution, as well as intelligence analysis and correlation.

“We’re extremely proud and excited about this research collaboration,” commented Endre Bangerter, CEO and co-founder of Threatray. “Intel 471’s deep coverage and intimate understanding of the cybercriminal ecosystem is well known in the industry. Having access to this new data and collaborating with their Intelligence team will push further our malware tracking and intelligence capabilities.”

Netskope, a leader in secure access service edge (SASE), today announced that its innovative Cloud Exchange security and telemetry sharing solution is now available as a managed service, offering organizations more ways to provision, deploy, and manage the platform. With this release, companies can leverage seamless access to Netskope telemetry, external threat intelligence, and risk score sharing across existing security investments to stop cloud threats sooner.

The company also announced a significant expansion of the solution’s Cloud Risk Exchange (CRE) module with the ability to share application risk scores and insights with key technology partners BitSight, SecurityScorecard, and ServiceNow—helping organizations obtain better visibility of the risks associated with their ecosystem of managed and unmanaged applications.

Improving the overall effectiveness and security posture of infrastructure in the cloud is critical for every organization. According to Foundry’s Cloud Computing Study 2022, nearly 70% of organizations have accelerated their cloud migration over the past year, and the proportion of organizations having most or all of their IT infrastructure in the cloud is expected to increase from 41% today to 63% in the next 18 months.

The byproduct of that migration is a growing attack surface in the cloud that needs efficient risk mitigation supported by skilled personnel, a challenge many organizations continue to grapple with amid a global cyber talent shortage. With Netskope’s new Cloud Exchange as a managed service offering, organizations can immediately leverage Cloud Exchange without having to dedicate staff to provision, deploy, and manage the platform. Security teams can then put intelligence and risk scoring into better context and experience faster time to incident resolution.

“As we continue to see a massive reliance on running more of their business in the cloud, organizations are seeking an easier pathway to ensure more efficiency while improving overall security posture,” said Andy Horwitz, Vice President of Business Development, Netskope. “Cloud Exchange as a managed service fills a significant need for resource-strapped organizations and puts them in a position to expeditiously operationalize Netskope’s valuable cloud intelligence across their security stack.”

To further benefit customers, Netskope is deepening its partnerships and integrations, and expanding Cloud Exchange’s CRE module to include application risk plugins from BitSight, SecurityScorecard, and ServiceNow to improve security risk understanding. The CRE module enables the exchange and normalization of risk scores between security solutions, enables adaptive policy controls to support zero trust principles, and can automatically trigger investigations using Cloud Ticket Orchestration (CTO) service tickets. With today’s expansions, CRE now evaluates security posture and application risk by comparing risk scores from different security applications and uses internal and external telemetry to gain insights into application risk using a unique Netskope Cloud Confidence Index (CCI).

“BitSight is excited to partner with Netskope to empower organizations to minimize risks associated with external parties in its ecosystem or supply chain,” said Anders Norremo, Vice President of Product, Third Party Risk Management, BitSight. “We enable customers to assess and continuously monitor risks throughout the vendor lifecycle, which ensures they meet organizational policy and risk tolerance requirements while improving overall security posture.”

“As the use of third-party vendors grows exponentially, organizations struggle to understand, manage, and minimize the risks associated with third party ecosystems. The SecurityScorecard and Netskope partnership, including our additional integration with Cloud Threat Exchange (CTE), helps customers overcome these challenges by giving real-time visibility into valuable risk scores about their vendor ecosystems,” said Alexander Rich, Vice President of Strategic Alliances at SecurityScorecard.

“In most cases, customers alone don’t have access to the same information Netskope and its partners can provide in aggregate regarding the applications within their third party ecosystem,” said James Robinson, Deputy CISO, Netskope. “Netskope’s added provision of application risk scores, combined with the previously established assessment of user and device risks, offers an unmatched understanding of third-party cyber security risks. Netskope’s added capabilities and new partnerships prove its commitment to expanding the functionality and value of the Netskope Platform to meet the growing market demand.”

Cloud Exchange is available via Netskope, Github, and the AWS Marketplace and Cloud Exchange as a managed service and is immediately available via Netskope channel partners and in the AWS Marketplace.

Moveworks today announced that Lucid Software, a leading provider of visual collaboration software, will roll out the Moveworks AI platform to enable best-in-class self-service IT support. Moveworks will provide Lucid employees the answers to their most pressing IT questions in a matter of seconds — allowing IT agents to focus on projects that will drive the business forward.

It costs an average of $22 to manually handle an IT service desk request. While seemingly innocuous, this number quickly adds up when service desk agents are sifting through thousands of requests a month. And, while self-service IT tickets cost the business a fraction of this number, many employees either don’t know where knowledge exists within their business, or they don’t know where or how to find it. This leaves employees frustrated by a confusing self-service process and leaves IT teams stuck manually resolving the same requests over and over again.

That’s why Lucid chose Moveworks: To maximize ROI on its existing knowledge base by offering employees a streamlined, automated self-service IT solution that actually delivers on its promise.

“As our team has grown, we’ve put a significant amount of time and effort into developing knowledge articles that address employees’ most common IT questions. But those efforts ultimately go to waste if no one ever uses them,” said David Torgerson, VP of infrastructure and IT at Lucid Software. “In order to see a return on those efforts, we’re excited to use Moveworks’ AI platform. With its sophisticated intelligence, the platform interprets employees’ needs with high confidence and delivers the most accurate responses, helping our Lucid IT teams to focus on more complex problems and work more efficiently.”

Moveworks uses advanced AI to index existing knowledge articles and deliver the best possible response to employees’ questions. It corrects spelling, analyzes user intent, and takes into account each employees’ location, role, permissions, and language preference. Employees simply ask the Moveworks bot a question within Slack, and Moveworks either resolves the request automatically or routes it to the appropriate expert for accelerated resolution — all within seconds. With the help of Moveworks, Lucid will be able to scale IT support at the pace required to keep up with its growing team, without having to significantly increase service desk headcount as a result.

“Most self-service solutions lead employees to frustrating dead ends,” said Bhavin Shah, CEO of Moveworks. “That’s because yielding accurate results would require the employee to use the exact keywords used in the exact knowledge article they’re looking for. This just isn’t a realistic expectation. In reality, every employee asks for help in different ways — they often have typos, are missing context, or are incredibly vague. In order for a self-service solution to deliver accurate results, it needs to be able to navigate this endless nuance in real-time. And that’s exactly what Moveworks does.”

Aside from maximizing ROI on Lucid’s knowledge base, Moveworks will streamline internal processes with automated workflows. It will reset passwords, provision software, pass along policy updates, update permissions, request or troubleshoot hardware, and look up people or places — all within Slack so employees don’t need to leave their preferred communication platform.
