The Latest Red Piranha News

February was jam-packed for us, with our online events happening in full swing. We organised back-to-back partner events for our MSPs and webinars to help our partners and clients grow their business in the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.

We have just entered a brand-new month, let's see what new adventures March has in store for us!

Crystal Eye XDR Update

March is shaping up to be another big month with the continued updates coming to Crystal Eye 4.0 which includes improvements to the Installation Wizard, IDPS traffic rules, Email Scanning Gateway and AI learning around IDS/IPS. These updates are due in the second week of March and will be automatically installed on all systems with automatic updates enabled.

Crystal Eye 4.0 has been around for over a year with new appliances and field upgrades have been available for a few months and almost all of our partners and clients have taken advantage of the new features and User Interface. These field upgrades represent a significant shift in the underlying architecture around Crystal Eye Enterprise and require some guidance to make sure the upgrade from 3.5 to 4.0 goes as smoothly as possible.

Crystal Eye 3.5 is reaching End of Life 31st March 2022 so any sites still using 3.5 or older are encouraged to contact our support team as soon as possible to arrange a guided field install.

We are also pleased to announce that we are in the design stages to upgrade our Series 10 to Series 40 hardware platforms from Intel GEN 11 to Intel GEN 12 which promises improvements in performance which we will be releasing as new performance stats become available along with the new devices which we expect to be shipping in the 2nd quarter of 2022.

Service Spotlight: Borderless Firewalling

In this month’s blog, the concept of Borderless Firewalling is introduced as the latest means of attaining sovereign capability. This concept relies on Red Piranha’s holistic approach to security that embraces Zero Trust Architecture all the way down. It positions the CE Firewall as offering much more than most Next Generation firewalls due to its integration with the CE XDR Security Platform and smart SOC services. As a module in the Crystal Eye appliance, or cloud-native solution, it processes over thirty-two hundred protocols out-of-the-box, while also providing customisable parsing for bespoke Industrial Control Systems (ICS), including SCADA, and other IoT devices. This gives granular control over the data plane, but it is at the control plane where the CE firewall attains its borderless latitude. With Red Piranha’s proprietary UCMI policy controller at the centre, a lake of data is created from forensic evidence ingested by continuous diagnostics systems that extend detection throughout the network. This abstraction from network traffic is what establishes a geography very different from perimeter security. From here, visibility extends well beyond anomalies associated with single transactions. Each transaction is analysed across workflow in the data lake to verify that a transaction is typical and how other activity supports that. The ability to pinpoint malicious intent occurring anywhere within the workflow is where borderless network security takes place, and the ability to respond to lateral movement and privilege escalation occurring anywhere across the lake is Borderless Firewalling.

SOC Capability & How to Address Your Monitoring & Incident Response Requirements Webinar
at Red Piranha

In the current threat landscape, organisations need to understand how compliance requirements dictate security monitoring and incident response integration. That's why last month we organised a webinar on 'SOC Capability & How to Address Your Monitoring & Incident Response Requirements'.

This session focused on what makes SIEM, how to improve correlations, storage and detection efficiency and all this can help organisations achieve security outcomes. We also discussed the benefits of our Managed Detection Response service that reduces the operating cost by providing access to the village of on-demand specialty resources offered by Red Piranha in the event of a breach.
