New Partnership Addresses the Region's High Demand for xIoT Attack Surface Management and Remediation Capabilities

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Phosphorus, the leading provider of advanced and full-scope security for the extended Internet of Things (xIoT), today announced a new distributor partnership for the Middle East and Africa (MEA) with CyberKnight, a leading cybersecurity value-added distributor for the region, in preparation for the official opening of the Phosphorus MEA office in Dubai on January 1st, 2023. The new partnership will see the two companies jointly delivering a new generation of xIoT security solutions for the MEA market.

With the CyberKnight partnership, Phosphorus will significantly expand its global presence in the MEA region, providing a critical xIoT security technology to these fast-growing markets. Phosphorus’s Enterprise xIoT Security Platform is the world’s first and only security technology capable of delivering attack surface management, hardening and remediation, and extended detect and response to the full range of IoT, OT, and network-connected devices—spanning both new and legacy devices.

“We are excited to partner with CyberKnight which has a strong presence in the Middle East and will play a key role in helping us to expand our international sales channels and xIoT security and service offerings throughout this important economic region,” said Chris Rouland, CEO of Phosphorus. “This region is growing rapidly and many modern cities are incorporating ‘smart’ technologies and infrastructure in novel and exciting ways. However, anything that is smart is vulnerable to security threats, and we will be working closely with CyberKnight to make sure all private and public organizations throughout the region have full access to the most advanced xIoT security solution and platform in the world today.”

“Due to an onslaught of ransomware and other targeted attacks affecting xIoT devices – especially in the transportation and oil and gas sectors – our customers are looking for solutions that will not only identify IoT and OT devices, but will finally remediate them while providing extended detect and response capabilities,” said Avinash Advani, the Founder and CEO at CyberKnight. “Our partnership with Phosphorus as our newest vendor will enable us to help our customers address a massive and expanding gap in their attack surface by finding, fixing, and constantly monitoring their IoT, OT, and IIoT devices. We are very excited about working with them to further support our Middle East customers across the region.”

Phosphorus provides unprecedented xIoT defense solutions for enterprise, industrial, and government customers through a fully automated security platform that discovers, assesses, remediates, hardens, and monitors tens of thousands of unique brands and models of connected or ‘smart’ devices—ranging from security cameras to PLCs. This enables large organizations to scale IoT and OT technologies (which often amount to millions of devices per organization) without having to add any additional employees to secure them. Phosphorus’s advanced security platform deploys on premises and defends against targeted attacks, malware, out of date firmware, vulnerabilities, default passwords, risky configurations, and insider threats.

Phosphorus has been pursuing a robust international growth strategy, since its $38 million Series A growth round earlier this year led by SYN Ventures. The company has expanded its platform and services for industrial users with the launch of new cybersecurity protections and defensive capabilities for OT and IIoT devices and safety-critical systems within the oil and gas, transportation, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure sectors. Phosphorus recently debuted the industry’s first Mobile xIoT Lab at Black Hat USA 2022, which offered live demonstrations of the platform’s unique capabilities for finding, fixing, and monitoring both high-risk enterprise IoT and network-connected devices as well as OT and IIoT devices used in critical industries.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Monday, 29. August 2022 

Increasing complexity in IT continues to lead to breaches and compromises highlighting the need for more holistic approaches to Cyber Protection

Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection, unveiled its mid-year cyberthreats report, conducted by Acronis’ Cyber Protection Operation Centers, to provide an in-depth review of the cyber threat trends the company’s experts are tracking. The report details how ransomware continues to be the number one threat to large and medium-sized businesses, including government organizations, and underlines how over-complexity in IT and infrastructure leads to increased attacks. Nearly half of all reported breaches during the first half of 2022 involved stolen credentials, which enable phishing and ransomware campaigns. Findings underscore the need for more holistic approaches to cybersecurity.

To extract credentials and other sensitive information, cybercriminals use phishing and malicious emails as their preferred infection vectors. Nearly one percent of all emails contain malicious links or files, and more than one-quarter (26.5%) of all emails were delivered to the user’s inbox (not blocked by Microsoft365) and then were removed by Acronis email security.

Moreover, the research reveals how cybercriminals also use malware and target unpatched software vulnerabilities to extract data and hold organizations hostage. Further complicating the cybersecurity threat landscape is the proliferation of attacks on non-traditional entry avenues. Attackers have made cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance systems a priority of late. Successful breaches using these various routes have resulted in the loss of billions of dollars and terabytes of exposed data.

These attacks are able to be launched due to overcomplexity in IT, a common problem throughout businesses as many tech leaders assume more vendors and programs lead to improved security when the inverse is actually true. Increased complexity exposes more surface area and gaps to potential attackers, keeping organizations vulnerable to potentially devastating damage.

“Today’s cyberthreats are constantly evolving and evading traditional security measures,” said Candid Wüest, Acronis VP of Cyber Protection Research. “Organizations of all sizes need a holistic approach to cybersecurity that integrates everything from anti-malware to email-security and vulnerability-assessment capabilities. Cybercriminals are becoming too sophisticated and the results of attacks too dire to leave it to single-layered approaches and point solutions.”

Critical data points reveal a complex threat landscape

As reliance on the cloud increases, attackers have homed in on different entryways to cloud-based networks. Cybercriminals increased their focus on Linux operating systems and managed service providers (MSPs) and their network of SMB customers. The threat landscape is shifting, and companies must keep pace.

Ransomware is worsening, even more so than we predicted.

Ransomware gangs, like Conti and Lapsus$, are inflicting serious damage.
The Conti gang demanded $10 million in ransom from the Costa Rican government and has published much of the 672 GB of data it stole.
Lapsus$ stole 1 TB of data and leaked the credentials of over 70,000 NVIDIA users. The same gang also stole 30 GB worth of T-Mobile’s source code.
The U.S. Department of State is concerned, offering up to $15 million for information about the leadership and co-conspirators of Conti.
 

The use of phishing, malicious emails and websites, and malware continues to grow.

Six hundred malicious email campaigns made their way across the internet in the first half of 2022.
58% of the emails were phishing attempts.
Another 28% of those emails featured malware.
The business world is increasingly distributed, and in Q2 2022, an average of 8.3% of endpoints tried to access malicious URLs.
 

More cyber criminals are focusing on cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. By exploiting flaws in smart contracts or stealing recovery phrases and passwords with malware or phishing attempts, hackers have wormed their way into crypto wallets and exchanges alike.

Cyberattacks have contributed to a loss of more than $60 billion in DeFi currency since 2012.
$44 billion of that vanished during the last 12 months.
 

Unpatched vulnerabilities of exposed services is another common infection vector—just ask Kaseya. To that end, companies like Microsoft, Google, and Adobe have emphasized software patches and transparency around publicly submitted vulnerabilities. These patches likely helped stem the tide of 79 new exploits each month. Unpatched vulnerabilities also tie into how overcomplexity is hurting businesses more than helping, as all of these vulnerabilities serve as additional potential points of failure.

Breaches leave financial, and SLA distress in their wake

Cybercriminals often demand ransoms or outright steal funds from their targets. But companies do not suffer challenges only to their bottom lines. Attacks often cause downtime and other service-level breaches, impacting a company’s reputation and customer experience.

In 2021 alone, the FBI attributed a total loss of $2.4 billion to business email compromise (BEC).
Cyberattacks caused more than one-third (36%) of downtime in 2021.
 

The current cybersecurity threat landscape requires a multi-layered solution that combines anti-malware, EDR, DLP, email security, vulnerability assessment, patch management, RMM, and backup capabilities all in one place. The integration of these various components gives companies a better chance of avoiding cyberattacks, mitigating the damage of successful attacks, and retaining data that might have been altered or stolen in the process.
