Blackpoint Cyber, a leading cybersecurity company protecting small- to mid-sized companies and their MSP allies worldwide, has announced a broad set of new Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) capabilities in CompassOne, its unified security platform.
The new capabilities include additional threat detections, automated containment controls and incident-reporting tools designed to help businesses detect identity-based attacks earlier, respond without disrupting the business and prove exactly what happened after an incident.
In addition, Blackpoint ITDR now has a historical scan that delivers a retrospective analysis of Microsoft 365 environments to understand if attackers already have a foothold and can compromise systems.
“A compromised mailbox is not an inconvenience; it’s a confidentiality problem with our clients’ own clients attached to it. Much of what we saw when evaluating the competition, was alerts dressed up as detection, which just moves the work back to us. Blackpoint’s SOC investigates and acts and every addition has been aimed at taking work off my team rather than handing them another dashboard to check,” said William Kapes, Director of Technical Operations at Integritek.
As attackers move from breaking in through doors and windows and into simply logging in via stolen credentials and email compromise, identities have become the new endpoint. Leveraging AI, attackers have evolved their tactics to include identity, vulnerability and social engineering to log their way into business systems.
