Simplified Security with the Cynet Integrated Platform and Safetech Innovations

Complexity is the main adversary of cybersecurity, because it limits visibility, control and the ability to fix vulnerabilities. The complexity of cybersecurity architectures is amplified by the expansion of attack surfaces as organizations adopt cloud services, IoT devices, and remote work models, thereby increasing the number of exploitable entry points. At the same time, cyber threats are evolving rapidly, with more and more types of attacks based on Artificial Intelligence being launched. In addition, compliance with strict regulations such as GDPR, NIS 2 or DORA, as well as the shortage of specialized skills, make effective security management an increasingly difficult task.

In this context, the majority of organizations (68%) use between 10 and 49 security tools or platforms, according to the 2024 CDW Cybersecurity Research report. IT departments are trying to respond to challenges through layered security architectures, which include firewalls, endpoint protection, Zero Trust frameworks, and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms. While essential, they overlap, are often disparate, have misconfigurations or incomplete, and hinder the effective conduct of cybersecurity operations.

Why and how can cybersecurity be simplified?

Reducing complexity may seem challenging, but in fact, it is very accessible when there is a proper strategy that prioritizes consolidation and orchestration. Centralizing disparate security technologies eliminates redundancies and enables the application of uniform policies, which simplifies and streamlines workflows. However, this involves:

• Reducing the number of applications. Organizations that have a smaller number of security tools, but that they know and can use correctly, are more effective than those that operate with too many solutions that they do not use to their true potential. The reduction in the number of tools also makes it possible to simplify the relationship with suppliers.
• Process automation. Automating repetitive and routine tasks, such as analyzing logs, detecting threats, responding to incidents, and help-desk activities (resetting passwords, activating accounts, responding to alerts), allows security teams to reduce human error and speed up operational processes.
• Automatic integration. Experience shows that the ideal approach is to purchase security products that automatically integrate with other solutions, ideally from as few vendors as possible, in order to avoid complexity and facilitate a uniform mode of operation.

Simplifying cybersecurity brings important benefits such as improving security posture by eliminating gaps caused by system complexity and redundancies, optimizing incident response, and quickly detecting threats through integration and automation. Additionally, consolidating solutions into a unified architecture reduces costs and administrative burden, supporting compliance with stringent regulations such as GDPR and NIS 2, while reducing the risk of penalties. Also, streamlining processes and using AI technologies allow organizations to operate efficiently and with limited resources, positively impacting the efficiency of teams and resource allocation.

Cynet – simplified cybersecurity at the highest industry standards

Cynet is an integrated, cloud-native security platform with a high level of automation, which offers a complete suite of security capabilities, usable unitarily. Easy to install, operate, and manage, Cynet provides advanced protection without the complexity of traditional solutions.

The MITRE ATT&CK 2024 evaluation demonstrated Cynet’s superior performance compared to other similar products on the market. Cynet obtained the maximum score of 100% in both the Visibility and Protection evaluations. Cynet detected all threats tested in the Detection phase (with no false positives) and blocked all simulated attacks in the Protection phase of the assessment.

The platform provides complete protection and visibility over the entire IT infrastructure, including endpoints, networks, users, email, mobile, SaaS, and cloud. Threat detection is performed through MITRE ATT&CK mappings, for advanced protection. Cynet also provides threat response orchestration and automation, which means it automatically investigates each incident and facilitates a quick reaction to attacks, in just a few seconds. In addition, it centrally manages logs, automatically collecting specific data to quickly and accurately discover threats in the IT environment.

The Cynet platform is appreciated by customers for its combination of versatility, simplicity of use and automatic remediation. Here are some of the main functionalities of the platform:

• Cynet Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) is an essential pillar of the Cynet platform, which provides advanced protection at the endpoint level. It integrates state-of-the-art prevention technologies, including Next-Gen Antivirus, Threat Intelligence, Malware Protection, Ransomware Protection, Credentials Theft Protection, and Fuzzy Hashing. They work automatically to effectively stop threats such as ransomware, fileless malware, lateral movement, credential theft and zero-day exploits.
• Cynet Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) complements the capabilities of EPP. EDR continuously monitors endpoints to automatically prevent, detect, and remediate threats. Analyze signals from endpoints, networks, and users, integrating deception technologies to increase visibility, accuracy, and protection across the entire attack surface.
• Cynet Network Detection and Response (NDR) detects and eliminates threats at the network level. NDR detects network scanning activities, identifies a variety of attacks targeting DNS infrastructure, protects against exfiltration of sensitive data, detects active communication with malicious websites, identifies vulnerable ports, and minimizes exploitation risks.
• Cynet User Behavior Analytics (UBA) monitors user activities to detect and isolate compromised accounts. UBA correlates user behaviors with other events in real time, detects suspicious activities (lateral movements, C&C activities, etc.). In addition, it monitors unauthorized access, providing complete visibility into user activity and authentication actions.
• Cynet Security Orchestration, Automation & Response (SOAR) enables the automation of the incident response phase across the entire infrastructure through a solution integrated into the Cynet platform. Thus, organizations can avoid expensive third-party solutions. With Cynet SOAR, threat resolution is 50 times faster than manual handling, and manual incident response activities are reduced by about 90%.
• Cynet SaaS and Cloud Security Posture Management (SSPM & CSPM) automates the identification and remediation of security risks across all SaaS applications and cloud platforms, directly from the Cynet console. At the same time, Cynet provides complete visibility over users and the entities connected to them. After identifying risks, the platform allows tracking their status. Automatic remediation through recommended actions provides the possibility to solve problems with a single click. The platform also facilitates compliance with cybersecurity regulations.

The Cynet platform also includes the following functionalities:

• Next-Gen Antivirus (NGAV)
• Mobile Threat Defense (MTD)
• Deception
• Email Security
• Domain Filtering
• Port Scanning
• Centralized Log Management (CLM)
• Extended Detection and Response (XDR)
• Managed Detection and Response (MDR).
