Phosphorus Cybersecurity Inc.

xIoT security leader will showcase interactive hacking demonstrations, a hands-on lab, CTF and more at S4 to raise awareness about the security risks of critical OT, ICS, IoT, and Network devices.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Phosphorus, the leading provider of proactive and full-scope security for the extended Internet of Things (xIoT), is proud to be a Prime Sponsor at S4x23, a leading conference focused on the future of OT and ICS cybersecurity. As part of its S4 presence, Phosphorus will offer live demonstrations of high-risk OT/ICS and IoT devices through its Mobile xIoT Security Lab, speaking sessions on the state of xIoT security and how to thwart bad actors, as well as a “Mystery Device” security and hacking challenge which it is hosting as part of S4’s ICS CTF.

The company’s interactive, on-site space and experiences at S4 will provide attendees with hands-on opportunities to examine the security risks posed by widely used xIoT devices and to test their skills at discovering, analyzing, and exploiting these vulnerable devices. All of these events, from the mobile lab to the CTF and speaking sessions, will be located at Phosphorus’s S4 sponsor room at the Sundial Room, 3rd Floor of the Loews Hotel.

“The ability to move beyond just detecting threats, attacks, and vulnerabilities that target critical OT, IoT, IIoT, and Network devices is still poorly understood, which is why we’re making these hands-on, prevention-based activities a key part of our sponsorship and presence at this year’s S4,” said John Vecchi, Chief Marketing Officer of Phosphorus. “We want to move beyond the high-level discussions to physically show attendees just how vulnerable and easily exploitable these devices can be, while also demonstrating our ability to proactively find, fix, and manage them. And over the coming year, our new xIoT research division, Phosphorus Labs, will be releasing new research highlighting the persistent security issues, challenges, and vulnerabilities with xTended Internet of Things devices.”

Commvault unveils early warning system, Metallic ThreatWise

/in


Commvault has announced the general availability of Metallic ThreatWise, an early warning system that proactively surfaces unknown and zero-day threats to minimise compromised data and business impact.

According to Enterprise Strategy Group, only 12% of the IT directors surveyed indicated confidence in having the proper tools and necessary location agnostic protection to secure data equally across on-premises and cloud.

With ThreatWise, Commvault is further defining data security with an early warning that no other vendor in this space provides. It uses decoys to proactively bait bad actors into engaging fake resources, spot threats in production environments, and arm businesses with tools to keep data safe. Simultaneously, Commvault is also extending its machine learning and critical threat detection and security capabilities to its broader platform.

 

“In surveying enterprise IT directors with direct knowledge and influence on their company’s data security strategies, the results we found were eye opening,” says  Jon Oltsik, Senior Principal Analyst and Fellow, Enterprise Strategy Group. 

“It is very clear that many IT teams do not have adequate tools in place to detect ransomware attacks on production environments early enough in the attack chain to neutralise stealthy cyber-attacks before they cause harm,” he says. 

“Ransomware has revolved around encryption for a long time, but newer extortion techniques like exfiltration go beyond rapidly spreading malware, and data recovery alone cannot help if sensitive business data is leaked to the Dark Web.”

Ranga Rajagopalan, Senior Vice President, Products, Commvault, says data recovery is important, but alone its not enough. 

“Just a few hours with an undetected bad actor in your systems can be catastrophic,” he says. 

“By integrating ThreatWise into the Metallic SaaS portfolio, we provide customers with a proactive, early warning system that bolsters their zero-loss strategy by intercepting a threat before it impacts your business.”

 

Metallic ThreatWise, along with Commvaults latest platform update features are available now. 

last month, Gartner named Commvault as a Leader in its 2022 Gartner Magic…

Fortinet unveils compact firewall for hyperscale data centres, 5G networks

/in


Fortinet has announced the FortiGate 4800F series of hyperscale firewalls, which sets new standards for security, scale, performance, and innovation to meet the requirements of hyperscale customers and 5G mobile network operators (MNOs). 

Powered by 16 of Fortinet’s seventh generation network processors (NP7), FortiGate 4800F offers the highest performance figures of any compact firewall, with Security Compute Ratings that deliver up to 34x better performance than competitor solutions, including the ability to support an average of 19x more connections per second.

Large enterprises and MNOs are in the continual pursuit of doing more with less. When it comes to firewalls, higher performance in a smaller footprint means security becomes an enabler for 5G adoption, allowing mobile providers to deliver new use cases for enterprises and critical industries and infrastructure. It also ensures enterprise customers such as high-velocity e-retail, cutting-edge research facilities, financial institutions, and cloud providers have access to the performance, scalability, and security they need to meet escalating business needs. Reduced costs for space, cooling, and power are additional benefits to achieving higher performance in a smaller form factor.

“With these outcomes in mind, Fortinet’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in security performance has yielded the most powerful compact firewall yet: the FortiGate 4800F,” the company says.

With a 4RU firewall and 400GE, 200GE, and 50GE interfaces, this latest model of Fortinet’s flagship line of firewalls enables MNOs to secure 5G networks with the following capabilities: 

Accelerates 5G adoption with secure IP connectivity and support for 19x more connections per second

5G enables massive machine-to-machine communications that require secure IP connectivity to untrusted environments such as the internet, edge sites, and the cloud. The FortiGate 4800F enables MNOs to secure massive scale and performance for IP connectivity to external networks and domains with massive carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT) performance and hardware logging. To build capacity that meets the needs of today and the future, FortiGate…

Samsung unveils 512GB DRAM CXL module in E3.S form factor • The Register

/in


Samsung has unveiled a 512-gigabyte Compute Express Link (CXL) DRAM module, which awaits servers to make it sing.

The device will ship in the EDSFF E3.S form factor – a standard most often employed in high-capacity solid-state disks (SSDs).

E3.S is expected to replace both M2 and 2.5-inch SSDs eventually, but Samsung has acknowledged that it may be some time before servers ready to handle the device appear. That time may well be spent figuring out how to make DRAM work well in E3.S, as DRAM is faster than the flash used in SSDs. The good news is PCIe 5.0 can handle that extra I/O action.

For now, the Korean giant is pleased that Lenovo has signed up to work on CXL devices.

The Chinese builder will likely get its hands on the 512GB CXL DRAM modules in Q3, when Samsung says “joint evaluation and testing” will commence, before “commercialization as next-generation server platforms become available.”

CXL matters because it enables the creation of switched fabrics that allow a host server to connect to resources on multiple other devices. Servers packing some of Samsung’s new 512GB monsters could therefore be accessed by other servers – the sort of thing VMware has started to build with its Project Capitola software-defined memory.

Samsung has its own software on the way to put the modules to work. The chaebol has an updated version of its open source Scalable Memory Development Kit in the pipeline and suggests it will take advantage of the new module and CXL.

Large memory modules are attractive because applications like AI, ML, ERP, and clouds all benefit from higher compute density and more opportunities to store data in-memory.

Samsung has previously teased 512GB DDR5 DIMMS, so it’s the implementation of CXL and form factor that makes this announcement most significant. ®
