Zenedge Launches Cybersecurity DOME To Protect Enterprises, Their Partners And Supplier Ecosystems

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Zenedge, a leader in Web Application Security and DDoS mitigation solutions, today announced the general availability of its new generation Zenshield DOME platform, already deployed across a number of large enterprises.  The new platform is designed to protect against cyberthreats that aim to infiltrate organizations by targeting the weakest link in a network chain. Zenshield DOME applies concentric rings of common-rule security policies and templates to protect against cyber breaches – not only of central organizations – but also of connected partners, vendors and suppliers.  

Third-party security is becoming an increasing priority following recent ecosystem weaknesses that compromised customers of Target, Snapchat and Walmart. The new Zenshield DOME enables organizations to administer their own security policies, as well as oversee their suppliers' and vendors' networks, to form a cooperative, common-rule defensive barricade of cybersecurity policies and templates. In addition, Zenshield utilizes heuristic algorithms that monitor ongoing supplier and vendor network traffic and adapt to behavioral changes dynamically by updating security policies across the entire ecosystem.

"CISOs and hackers are discovering that the quickest path to breaking into a company's classified data comes through remote, often inconspicuous, interconnected third parties, like vendors, suppliers and contractors," said Leon Kuperman, co-founder and CTO of Zenedge. "It's a reminder that networks are only as strong as their least protected link, and that all vendors need to be assessed, vetted and protected against cybersecurity risks."

Zenshield DOME identifies external vendor access points to your company's internal network perimeter and automatically closes ports that can expose your data. Zenshield DOME also vets 2^nd and 3^rd party systems that connect externally to an internal network, such as client side applications including: CDNs, firewalls and configuration management. By proactively monitoring and centrally managing systems, Zenshield DOME significantly reinforces barriers between external client and internal enterprise systems.

"The IT industry has been aware of problems caused by external vendor vulnerabilities for some time," said Rick Simpson, founder of Snow Commerce. "But seeing red flags pop up around the perimeter is one thing – being able to centrally, cooperatively act to avoid attacks against a large organizational target has so far proved more difficult. Zenshield reduces threats significantly in terms of securing and managing policies actively across the board."

"Which vulnerabilities do organizations need to plug to minimize attack paths and intrusions? The answer: All of them," said Ernie Regalado, GigaOm Research Analyst and founder of Bizety.com. "When it comes to security, most networks are built on inconsistent architectures that aren't capable of cooperatively deflecting cyberattacks. Zenedge is looking ahead – at the Big Picture, the entire ecosystem – instead of treating security as a chain of interconnected, yet isolated and vulnerable, islands."
