Endace Honored with Ten Accolades in
Security Industry Awards Sweep

Original Entry by : Endace

Last month was officially our most successful month for awards ever! Maybe it’s got something to do with it being February in a Leap Year?

Whatever the reason, we’re thrilled to report that Endace received no less than ten industry awards last week, winning three top spots at the Cyber Defense Magazine InfoSec Awards and a further seven awards at the Info Security Product Guide Global Excellence Awards.

Black Hat Europe 2017: Where the Best Minds in Cybersecurity Meet

Original Entry by : Leah Jones

Christmas and New Year may be approaching fast, but the ever-changing and unpredictable world of Information Security continues at full speed.

From the 4th-7th of December, we’ll be exhibiting at Black Hat Europe at the ExCel, London.

Attended by cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts from around the world, Black Hat Europe 2017 will bring the best and brightest in the industry together to share information on the latest research, developments and trends.

We’ll be at our at stand (booth 201) throughout the event to answer questions and to share thoughts and ideas with attendees, particularly on the major breaches of recent years and the impending GDPR legislation. With the May 2018 deadline not far away, organizations need to be aware of how to respond to potential data breaches quickly or face hefty fines if they are inadequately prepared.

Some of the major breaches that we’ll be discussing include:

  • Equifax, a victim of one of the largest hacks in recent memory. The company took two months to admit that the breach had taken place. Post-GDPR, Equifax would need to reduce their identification and reporting time from two months to just 72 hours.
  • Deloitte, where a cyberattack on the company’s Azure-hosted email server’s administration account resulted in confidential documents and emails being stolen. To prepare for GDPR, cloud providers need to prioritize network visibility, something that current cloud software structures often hinder.
  • TalkTalk, which announced in 2015 that a breach had taken place, erred on the side of caution by “over-reporting”, later discovering the breach was not as bad as first thought. Under GDPR, more companies may be inclined to over-report, given potential fines of up to 4% of their global revenue for under-reporting. In a post-GDPR world, precision in post-breach analysis and forensics is essential.

We’ll be demonstrating how our EndaceProbe Network Recorders can be integrated with security tools from partners like Cisco, Splunk, Plixer and Palo Alto Networks to accelerate the investigation of security alerts and help companies to identify and respond to intrusions before they can escalate into a major breach.

We’ll also be talking to attendees about why recording their network traffic provides the only truly reliable evidence for conclusively determining the cause and scope of security intrusions and breaches.

Cisco Live Europe 2017 A Great Success

Original Entry by : Mark Evans

Upwards of 12,000 people packed Messe Berlin for the Cisco Live Europe 2017 event last week. It was a busy, exciting and noisy atmosphere and a lot of fun to attend. As a Cisco Solutions Partner, Endace was pleased to be invited to be one of the vendors exhibiting in the Cisco Security Partner Village.

Cybersecurity was a hot topic at Cisco Live, and the Security Partner Village was bustling, with lots of attendees interested in seeing the latest cybersecurity solutions.

Endace’s Sandrine Kubach and Rob Earley were inundated with people interested to find out how we integrate our full packet capture solutions with Cisco’s security solutions.

Sandrine and Rob demonstrated the integration between our EndaceProbe Network Recorders and Cisco’s Firepower NG-IPS.

Endace’s Fusion Connector for Firepower allows security analysts to click from an alert in the Firepower Management Console to instantly view and analyze related network packets recorded on EndaceProbes. This streamlined workflow dramatically reduces investigation times and provides definitive evidence of exactly what has happened so analysts can respond appropriately.

It was great to have another of our partners, Plixer, demonstrating the integration between Scrutinizer and EndaceProbes at a stand just metres away from our own too!

Cisco Live Europe was a fantastic event. To all those who stopped by our stand, thank-you for making the time. It was great to meet you and we look forward to talking to you again soon.

Thanks to the Cisco team for their wonderful organization and support. We’re excited about being at Cisco Live US in Las Vegas later in the year!

If you weren’t able to make it to Berlin, check out the great highlights reel that Cisco has put together – it gives a great sense what a busy event it was:

Dynatrace Perform 2017

Endace was an exhibiting partner at Dynatrace Perform in Las Vegas this month. Perform is the annual conference for Dynatrace users and attracts attendees from all over the world.

The conference sessions were packed, and our booth in the partner area was swamped during the partner sessions!

In fact it was so busy we didn’t have time to take photos of our booth! So here’s one of Dynatrace’s photos instead. And if you want more, there’s a big gallery of photos on this page.

In the Partner Lounge, Blaine Deutsch and Tom Leahy demonstrated how EndaceProbes integrate with Dynatrace DC RUM to provide instant access to network packet history as definitive evidence for troubleshooting application performance issues. They also showed how using EndaceProbes to Playback recorded history to an instance of the virtual AMD agent hosted in Application Dock offers new options for deep investigation of historical events.

If you weren’t able to make the event, here are the presentations:

We thoroughly enjoyed being at Perform 2017. And being in Las Vegas on Superbowl Sunday prior to the conference was certainly an experience too.

Thanks to all the attendees who came to our stand. We had some really interesting conversations which we look forward to picking up with you again very soon.

And thanks to Nathan, Mike, Paula and the team from Dynatrace for making us welcome and ensuring we had everything we needed too. A great event guys!

Sold out Suricon demonstrates strong interest in Suricata

Suricata

Having been one of the original sponsors of the OISF, we were thrilled to be involved again as a community partner sponsor at Suricon 2016.  The conference ran Nov 9-10 and with an international contingent of attendees and sponsors, Washington DC on election night was a very unique way to kick off the conference! 

It was great to reacquaint with old friends at the OSIF. Kelley Misata and the Core team did a fantastic job of organizing the conference.  There were some really interesting presentations from Core team presenters and the Suricata community. Check out the conference highlights here for links to some of the presentation slides.

We had a lot of interest from attendees interested in using Endace DAG cards to improve the performance and fidelity of Suricata. For anyone wanting to find out how to use Suricata with DAG, we put together a technical brief which you can download here.

To celebrate Endace’s return as a sponsor, we offered attendees a special 2-for-1 deal on our DAG 10X2-S cards.  We think this card really hits the price/performance mark, providing a professional capture card at a very attractive price. And judging by level of the interest we saw at the conference, attendees agreed (a reminder to conference attendees, the offer closes Dec 15th, so don’t forget to return your claim form!)

Suricon 2016 was completely sold out and it’s great to see the attendance and interest growing so strongly.  Endace is looking forward to sponsoring Suricon 2017 in Prague which promises to be even bigger and better again!
