Netwrix Launches a New SaaS-based Solution for MSPs and Upgrades Product Portfolio

Netwrix launched a new, SaaS-based solution for managed service providers (MSPs) and continues to improve enhancing data security across all five NIST Functions, and has upgraded a third of its product portfolio within the past six months.

Netwrix has released new versions for five products since September 2022 and launched a new SaaS-based auditing solution tailored for MSPs. Netwrix keeps enhancing its portfolio to help identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover from cyber threats aimed at any organization’s most valuable asset — its data.

Solutions with notable key enhancements include the following:

Data access governance solution — Netwrix Data Classification 5.7 now streamlines the configuration of security controls across SQL databases and speeds up the classification of large amounts of data by first scanning the metadata associated with the files.
Active Directory (AD) security solution — Netwrix StealthINTERCEPT 7.3.7 protects customers from LDAP Nom Nom, a recently discovered brute-force technique that can enumerate usernames in Active Directory anonymously without leaving any logs. In addition, Netwrix Recovery for AD 2.5 (previously known as Netwrix StealthRECOVER) further simplifies AD disaster recovery with AD forest recovery and ensures the secure storage of encrypted AD forest backups.
Privileged access management (PAM) solution — Netwrix Privilege Secure 4.0 (previously Netwrix SbPAM) further reduces the attack surface and expands its first-to-market zero standing privilege approach to databases, ensuring that privileged accounts exist for only as long as needed. In addition, the PAM solution now includes the ability to discover and remediate privileged accounts sprawl to endpoints to stop lateral movement.
Identity and access management (IAM) solution — Netwrix Password Reset 3.3 became more secure with a protocol upgrade and the option to allow only encrypted communication between it and Netwrix Password Policy Enforcer.

In addition, Netwrix launched a new multi-tenant, software-as-a-service auditing product Netwrix 1Secure designed to meet the needs of MSPs. It enables easy management of numerous tenants from a single console and accelerates incident detection and response.

“More than 850 employees across 35 countries keep evolving the Netwrix product portfolio. Within the last half year alone, we released a new product along with five current product upgrades. We also extended our offering with a new IAM solution, thanks to the most recent acquisitions. And we are not slowing down: For example, this year we plan to release an improved PAM solution that integrates several of our existing products,” said Steve Dickson, CEO of Netwrix.

About Netwrix
Netwrix makes data security easy. Since 2006, Netwrix solutions have been simplifying the lives of security professionals by enabling them to identify and protect sensitive data to reduce the risk of a breach, and to detect, respond to and recover from attacks, limiting their impact. More than 13,000 organizations worldwide rely on Netwrix solutions to strengthen their security and compliance posture across all three primary attack vectors: data, identity, and infrastructure.

PC Matic Selected by NIST’s National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence to Demonstrate Zero Trust Architectures

PC Matic, announced it has been selected by the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) to participate in their Implementing a Zero Trust Architecture Project.

A collaboration amongst many industry leaders in cybersecurity, PC Matic will join seventeen other companies to develop practical approaches to designing and implementing zero-trust architectures. The approaches designed by these organizations will result in a cybersecurity practice guide published by the NCCoE for government and enterprise organizations who seek to implement a zero-trust architecture.

“Since inception, PC Matic has utilized a zero-trust approach to stop malicious cyber threats such as ransomware,” said PC Matic CEO Rob Cheng. “Understanding just how effective this framework has been for our own customers, we are very grateful to the NCCoE for the opportunity to contribute to this project. We look forward to working together with the NCCoE and our other project partners to showcase the capabilities of and implementation strategies for zero trust architectures.”

Through its engagement in the project, PC Matic will assist the NCCoE in achieving the program’s objectives:

Demonstrate an example implementation(s) of a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), using commercially available technology components designed and deployed according to the zero trust concepts and tenets described in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-207, Zero Trust Architecture.
Demonstrate various types of user access to enterprise resources (e.g., data sources, computing services, and IoT devices) spread across boundaries, from on premises to multiple cloud environments, all confined by policy based security constraints orchestrated by leveraging zero trust principles and approaches.
Publish a NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guide, a publicly available description of the practical steps needed to implement a cybersecurity reference design that addresses this challenge.

“Implementing a zero-trust architecture has become a federal cybersecurity mandate and a business imperative,” said Natalia Martin, Acting Director of the NCCoE. “We are excited to work with industry demonstrating various approaches to implementing a zero-trust architecture using a diverse mix of vendor products and capabilities, and share ‘how to’ guidance and lessons learned from the experience.”

In response to an open call in the Federal Register, PC Matic submitted its capabilities as it relates to the Implementing a Zero Trust Architecture Project. Following such submission, PC Matic was invited to sign a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), allowing them to participate in this project.
