Opti9 Launches Standalone Ransomware Detection Platform and Managed Services for Veeam Solutions

Mar 23, 2023 (PRNewswire via COMTEX) —

GARDEN CITY, N.Y., March 23, 2023

GARDEN CITY, N.Y., March 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Opti9 Technologies, LLC. (Opti9), a trusted North American managed cloud services provider, announces Observr Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) ransomware detection and standalone managed services – two new standalone service offerings that cater to organizations leveraging Veeam® Software, the leader in Modern Data Protection. Opti9 is a Platinum Veeam Cloud & Services Provider (VCSP) partner and a Veeam Technical Alliance Partner (TAP).

Opti9 launches Observr ransomware detection and managed services for Veeam.

As the complexity of organizations’ IT continues to evolve, technical leaders are increasingly looking to shift ownership to 3rd party experts for critical layers of their stack. This is especially true for components such as backups and disaster recovery, which must provide resilience despite constant changes such as the shift to hybrid clouds and SaaS, application modernization, use of software-defined networking, and the increased risks associated with ransomware and data theft. To address these needs, many organizations turn to managed service providers to consume backups or disaster recovery-as-a-service (BaaS/DRaaS). However, the rigidity and isolated nature of most of these offerings do not address the complexity or risks faced today. Organizations are looking to decouple value-added managed services, as well as critical security monitoring from infrastructure services. Today, Opti9 introduces its standalone offerings for Veeam, which are completely independent of its BaaS and DRaaS services: managed services for Veeam Software and its AI-based ransomware detection and remediation tool, Observr.

“Opti9 has leveraged Veeam’s feature rich API in an innovative and unique way to address the very real security challenges being faced by IT organizations,” says Danny Allan, Chief Technology Officer at Veeam. “Observr…

ESET’s threat intelligence services extend an organizations’ security intelligence

/in


ESET has launched its threat intelligence services, designed to extend an organizations’ security intelligence. These new commercially available reports provide deeper insights and actionable guidance from ESET’s renowned global research teams about specific threat vectors and attack sources.

Now corporations and government entities of all sizes, as well as managed service providers (MSPs) and other channel partners, can make critical decisions faster, giving them a strategic advantage and competitive edge in the fight against cybercrime.

“The value of curated, high-quality threat intelligence lies in cutting through information overload to proactively deliver relevant guidance on potential threats that matter to the organization,” said Tony Anscombe, chief security evangelist at ESET.

“Rather than struggling to sift through huge, noncurated external datasets, or working with limited publicly available data, ESET’s customizable threat intelligence services enable security teams to quickly identify and prioritize emerging business risks and incoming threats – and provide the information necessary to implement a more proactive cybersecurity posture. These services also accelerate incident response and reduce data breach impacts by giving a more complete picture of the threat actor, vectors, indicators of compromise, and malware behavior,” Anscombe continued.

The new offerings include:

  • ESET Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) Reports share ESET’s ongoing APT research, including activity summaries. The APT Reports PREMIUM package gives customers access to an ESET analyst for up to four hours each month, a perfect way to get in-depth guidance on critical issues. These private reports assemble curated data for organizations that support efficiency, process maturity and security audits.
  • ESET Threat Intelligence Feeds give customers a real-time view of the worldwide threat landscape based on feeds from our research centers, to enable security teams to quickly act on IoCs in their environment. Available feeds (JSON or STIX 2.0 format) include malicious files, malicious domains, botnets, malicious IPs, malicious URLs, and APT information (included with the APT…

Ransomware Attack Impacts Health Services Organization in Pennsylvania

/in


The incident may have compromised patient’s and employee’s Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and financial information between August 21, 2021, and April 4, 2022.

On January 5, 2023, Maternal & Family Health Services (MFHS) — a private non-profit that serves women, children, and families of Northeastern Pennsylvania — announced the organization was a target of a ransomware attack that may have exposed sensitive data to an unauthorized individual.

In a statement, MFHS said they were made aware of the cybersecurity incident on April 4, 2022, and immediately called in third-party forensic teams to assist in securing the organization’s systems.

Results of an investigation revealed that hackers may have accessed the personal information of current and former employees, patients, and vendors between August 21, 2021, and April 4, 2022.

Sensitive data included, but may not be limited to, names, addresses, date of birth, driver’s license numbers, Social Security numbers, financial account/payment card information, usernames and passwords, health insurance information, and medical information.

However, MFHS reports no evidence that any compromised personal information was misused due to the attack.

The organization began sending letters on January 3, 2023 via U.S. mail to individuals who the data breach may have impacted — almost nine months after first becoming aware of the attack. The letter relayed information about the incident and steps individuals can take to protect their personal data.

These steps include monitoring personal accounts through credit reporting bureaus like Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion and placing fraud alerts on accounts if necessary. MFHS also recommends that individuals contact the Federal Trade Commission or their state Attorney General to learn more about protecting personal information, identity theft, or filing a complaint.

In addition, the non-profit created a phone hotline for people with questions concerning the ransomware attack. Call center agents are available at (833) 896-7339, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 am –9:00 pm Eastern Time.

In a news release, Maria Montoro Edwards, Ph.D., President & CEO of MFHS, said,…
