Red Piranha TDIR: Global Compliance, Unmatched Security

Cyber threats are evolving, and so must our defences. The rise of APTs and EDR evasion tools reveals a critical need for more powerful detection and response strategies, and that is why global cybersecurity authorities, led by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), released comprehensive guidelines to strengthen cybersecurity worldwide.

Learn more about those guidelines and how we can help you meet them in this whitepaper.

Crystal Eye XDR Update

5.0 Field upgrades are now ready for everyone to access. If you haven’t yet got your complimentary upgrade to 5.0 you are missing out on new features and improved performance 5.0 brings to your security stack.

We have also made updates as a part of our monthly scheduled patches that address known issues with the upgrade process making the switch from 4.5 to 5.0 even easier.

As always, one of our key advantages over competing products is that we allow multiple versions of CEOS to exist on a single appliance making it possible to easily and quickly switch between versions as needed. This gives admins and MSPs peace of mind in implementing upgrades with shortened outage windows (mostly less than 5 minutes)!

Notifications were sent to all End Users and Partners via email including a Field Upgrade Guide/Checklist. If you require a copy of the guide, please reach out to [email protected].

To read more about the 5.0 update and features visit the forum or directly access the post in our Community Support (link here).

We are excited to bring 5.0 to all Crystal Eye Appliances so you can take advantage of our latest improvements.

Our monthly patch includes a number of enhancements to Vulnerability Scanning and Web Content Filter as well as system-level improvements to performance and stability. See this forum link for release notes.

Service Spotlight: Threat Detection, Investigation and Response (TDIR)

In today's interconnected world, cybercriminals run rampant, attacking individuals and organisations. Their attack tactics have become more sophisticated and persistent, bypassing traditional security tools like EDR. This calls for the urgent need for threat detection and response strategies that are both effective and efficient.

To help organisations worldwide strengthen their security posture and up their game, global security agencies like the ASD's ACSC, CISA, FBI, NSA and other partners came together to develop comprehensive guidelines that list the best practices for event logging and threat detection.

Wondering how you can keep up with new threat detection and logging guidance and bolster organisational resilience?

Our Crystal Eye Threat Detection, Investigation, and Response (TDIR) solution perfectly aligns with the stringent requirements mentioned in the guidelines. By incorporating a detection and response strategy, establishing the detection alerts for critical cybersecurity events and indicators of compromise, developing a centralised logging policy with secure storage, and optimised logging and analytics, Crystal Eye ensures robust and effective monitoring across all network environments.

Our best-in-class TDIR solution offers over 18 months of customisable extended log retention to meet compliance requirements, ensuring robust incident management and adherence to compliance and regulatory standards.

To learn more about our TDIR solution, please read our recently published whitepaper, and if you have questions, don't forget to reach out to us.
