Verizon business expands security portfolio with new
solutions to help combat cybercrime
erizon Business is
V
expanding its security
portfolio with new security
solutions to help businesses
better protect themselves against
cybercrime: Verizon Managed
Detection and Response; Verizon
Identity and Verizon Machine
State Integrity. Verizon has also
enhanced its Rapid Response
Retainer service which offers
companies cyber intelligence and
incident response capabilities
directly from the Verizon Threat
Research Advisory Center (VTRAC).
Verizon Managed Detection and
Response (MDR) is a new managed
security service which leverages
analytics and behaviour modelling to
help organisations quickly identify
potential cyberthreats. The fully
managed, scalable, cloud-based
solution overlays Verizon’s core
remote threat monitoring, detection
and response capabilities with builtin
multilayer analytics and behaviour
modelling from Securonix. Verizon MDR
is available globally from April 2020.
Verizon Identity (VID) and Verizon
Machine State Integrity both leverage
Blockchain. Blockchain’s decentralised
nature elevates enterprise security
with no single point of weakness in the
solution for cybercriminals to exploit.
Verizon ID enables users to store identity
credentials in a secure ‘digital identity
safe’ on their mobile devices, which can
be easily and securely accessed and
validated, potentially eliminating the
need for passwords. The solution
encrypts and distributes identity
data across multiple online servers
on the Blockchain, so there is no
centralised database or single
point of entry for breach attempts,
and also incorporates multi-factor
authentication and biometrics for
advanced identity protection.
Verizon’s Machine State Integrity
solution sources operational
data from decentralised machine
environments to offer clear,
actionable insights on potential
compliance and security issues.
Verizon’s Rapid Response Retainer
puts the full capabilities and
experience of the VTRAC team at
the disposal of customers in as little
as six hours from an incident report
(dependent on specific customer
retainers), and can now be fully
customised to fit customer needs.
