Vectra offers a free of charge security assessment for your cloud tenant

SINGAPORE, June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Vectra AI, a leader in AI-driven threat detection and response for hybrid and multi-cloud enterprises, today announced the launch of Vectra Protect, a posture management tool designed to discover and mitigate security risks in Microsoft 365 (M365). Vectra Protect combines 50,000+ hours of expert research and development with automation to analyze an organization’s M365 security posture and provide customized implementation plans to remediate risk. To ensure all organizations, regardless of security staffing or resources, can have access to the solution, Vectra is extending a free sign-up for an Azure Active Directory scan until September 30, 2022. 

With the accelerated use of M365 collaboration tools, which now have over 270 million users, cyber attackers are actively targeting access management tools like Azure AD to enter other SaaS tools and enterprise network assets. They then establish a foothold to launch ransomware attacks, steal intellectual property and gain unauthorized access to sensitive user data.

David Sajoto, Vice President, Asia-Pacific, and Japan (APJ) at Vectra comments, “Events of the past two years have accelerated adoption of public clouds, because no company wanted to deal with the physical realm. This resulted in more emphasis on adopting SaaS applications and moving from on-prem Exchange servers to M365 became a ‘gold standard’. Essentially, businesses had their stationary defenses set up around their fortress, and then moved everything out of that fortress which created new risks.”

With its scanning engine, Vectra Protect combines insights from the M365 Graph API with PowerShell module data to provide a truly holistic view into the integrity of every identity in an organization’s M365 environment. As the only scan designed to uncover identity security issues in M365, Vectra Protect provides organizations with:

• Quick, actionable remediation insights: With its multi-stage methodology, the scan provides organizations with actionable results within hours. Rather than hindering the security team with more alerts, the scan creates a comprehensive risk mitigation map that provides a path to implementation with clear guidance on risk and operational impact.
• Tailored cloud support: Organizations can gain insight into the severity of vulnerabilities, material changes to their configuration state, the operational impact of the required solution, and the steps for remediation aligned to their applicable industry standards and regulatory requirements.
• Configuration correction and compliance: Vectra Protect delves deep into the configuration complexities of M365, highlighting misconfigurations with clear context to guide companies to complete risk resolution and provide security teams with the proof they need to show their policies are effective and compliant.
• Confidence in collaboration: By understanding areas where risks and configuration issues persist, organizations can fulfill the promises of cloud technology without creating unmanaged risk. Organizations can gain efficiencies in implementing and using SaaS tools like M365 by eliminating default settings and aligning operations, information technology, security, and audit teams on security priorities.

“Azure AD has become a large attack vector as cybercriminals look to exploit the lack of security controls and solutions currently available for the tool,” said Aaron Turner, CTO of SaaS Protect at Vectra AI. “Organizations must understand that Microsoft’s default security settings are not specifically tailored to their business operations or industry, which introduces waves of unnecessary risk. Combining this with the constant changes in M365, both internally and externally, leaves a host of potential vulnerabilities and configuration issues that organizations are responsible for correcting. Vectra Protect helps unravel this complexity to deliver the visibility and assurance organizations need to protect these essential business tools.”

The free Vectra Protect for Azure AD scan, a value up to $50,000, will be readily available to any M365 customer operating in any M365 environment*.  The scan focuses on a common foothold for unauthorized access and risk: access management in the active directory. Turner will be showcasing the technology and enumerating how to protect the M365 tenant and hunt for threats during RSAC 2022 in San Francisco, CA. You can register for his session here.

BEIJING, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — A smart new commercial industrial park featuring Yiwu small commodities was opened on May 28 in Guigang City, south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Orders worth 210 million yuan (about 31.48 million U.S. dollars) in total was placed on the opening day.

With a total investment of 11 billion yuan, the industrial park covers an area of 2,388 mu (159.2 hectares) and a planned construction area of 3 million square meters, according to Yang Yang, deputy general manager of Zhejiang China Commodities City Group Co., Ltd. The park is expected to offer 40,000 direct job positions, with its average annual transaction volume predicted at about 13 billion yuan, and annual profit and tax about 400 million yuan, Yang noted.

Known as the “World’s Supermarket,” Yiwu City of east China’s Zhejiang Province has introduced its sixth-generation model of smart commercial industrial city to the new project in Guigang. Through technological innovations including global trade big data cloud information, 5G and AI, the park forms a global trade ecosystem featured with an “eight-in-one” industrial chain operation model integrating trade, professional market, production and processing, warehousing and logistics, live-streaming, etc.

Connecting with members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) by both land and sea, Guangxi is eyeing unprecedented development opportunities in terms of cross-border logistics. The launch of the park will infuse the city of Guigang with a strong impetus to grow into a “capital of small commodities” in south China, said Su Jian, deputy director of the Guangxi regional commerce department, noting that the industrial park will strive to serve the broadened ASEAN market under the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).

Data shows that the sales of small commodities to ASEAN countries has increased significantly after the RCEP came into effect. It is expected that the Guigang-based industrial park will be inspired by Yiwu’s development experience to further improve its trade and service capabilities, and promote more products with Guigang feature to the world, according to Yan Jiuqiu, director of Guigang Municipal People’s Congress Standing Committee.
