Perimeter 81 Disrupts Traditional Network Security; Partners with SonicWall on New SASE Platform

Integrated Cloud and Service-Based Solutions Redefine the Future of Network Security Without Traditional Perimeters

Tel Aviv, Israel Feb. 12, 2020 — Perimeter 81, a leading Zero Trust network provider for enterprises and organizations, today announced a new Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform that combines its Network as a Service offering with advanced cloud security capabilities from SonicWall, a Francisco Partners portfolio company. The integrated, cloud-native platform will deliver Zero Trust access to internal resources, user and branch internet security, branch interconnectivity and endpoint security.

Identified by Gartner as one of the most promising emerging technologies in enterprise networking, SASE is a cloud-native architecture model that supports dynamic secure access to organizational assets by combining multiple network technologies delivered as a service, including Secure Web Gateway, Cloud Access Security Broker, Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS) and Zero Touch Network Access with WAN capabilities (i.e., SDWANaaS).

In November 2019, Perimeter 81 partnered with SonicWall to integrate its security services features, including Content Filtering, Application Control, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), File Sandboxing, Real-Time Deep Memory InspectionTM (RTDMI), antivirus and more, to create one of the strongest SASE offerings in the network security space. Perimeter 81 will be launching Web Filtering and DNS Filtering in Q1 and, with SonicWall, will gradually roll out security features to customers throughout 2020, starting with FWaaS.  Additional functionalities, such as SaaS security and Endpoint Protection Platform, will be introduced later in the year.

By integrating SonicWall’s Capture Cloud Platform and real-time breach detection and prevention technologies, the Perimeter 81 SASE platform provides organizations with a holistic and unified security solution to authenticate and consume their network and security needs across all enterprise edges. Businesses can connect to a single secure network and gain access to physical and cloud resources no matter their location, allowing IT teams to easily access and secure their organization’s networks and users in an agile, easy-to-use, cost-effective and scalable way.

“The consumption of modern network security and cybersecurity solutions needs to fundamentally change. With today’s increasingly distributed and mobile workforce, this paradigm shift begins with replacing the traditional and perimeter-based network model with cloud, cyber and network security platforms,” said Amit Bareket, Co-Founder and CEO of Perimeter 81. “Our partnership with SonicWall and integrated SASE offering is a positive first step towards this market transformation. Companies are seeking solutions that are cloud-native, easy to use and encompass many functionalities in a one-stop-shop. We will deliver a converged cloud-delivered secure access service edge that is needed to effectively serve the secure these access requirements of the digital business.”

“Existing security models are failing to meet the needs of today’s digital business. Organizations are looking to adopt integrated and intelligent networking and security solutions that deliver compute power in the cloud and at the edge,” said Bill Conner, President and CEO of SonicWall. “SonicWall’s advanced cloud security capabilities and Perimeter 81’s innovative secure cloud-based network offerings will allow us to provide the most advanced SASE platform available today and place ourselves, and our customers, at the forefront of an emerging and promising market.”

Perimeter 81 will be showcasing the features of the new SASE platform at RSAC 2020, taking place February 24-28, 2020, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA.

Government Organizations Face Surge in Malware and DDoS Attacks, Raising Alarms Over Potential Election Disruption

Newest report highlights some escalating risks to critical infrastructure as election day approaches MILPITAS, Calif. — October 31, 2024 — SonicWall released its latest threat brief focused exclusively on governments, reporting a staggering 236% year-over-year increase in malware-related attacks against government organizations globally during the first quarter of 2024. This alarming trend coincides with a notable 27% rise in attacks in the month leading up to the upcoming election, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced security measures. SonicWall's comprehensive threat intelligence reveals a 33% increase in attacks related to the software supply chain since the start of the year. Additionally, DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks are on track to surpass last year's figures by 32% - underscoring the escalating risks to critical infrastructure as election day approaches. “As attackers continue to attack critical government services and election-related systems, the importance of multi-layered cybersecurity measures cannot be overstated,” said Executive Director of Threat Research Doug McKee. "In a rapidly evolving threat landscape, the stakes have never been higher. We must  embrace cross-industry collaboration and threat intelligence information sharing  to ensure the integrity of our electoral processes and protect our vital infrastructure from those seeking to exploit  these systems. "  Rising Threats to Election Security The recent Hezbollah pager supply chain attack serves as a stark reminder of how easily everyday devices can be exploited to launch significant cyberattacks. As attackers target seemingly innocuous devices lacking stringent security protocols, the risk extends to critical election infrastructure. For instance, compromised IP cameras, frequently utilized at polling locales, could be weaponized or compromised to disrupt essential operations. SonicWall data highlights the pressing need for vigilance, as the company has successfully thwarted over 12.9 million attacks targeting IP cameras this year alone. These devices, often overlooked in cybersecurity strategies, present an enticing entry point for cybercriminals aiming to undermine public trust in the electoral process.  The Vulnerability of IoT Devices The growing reliance on Internet of Things (IoT) devices within government operations raises significant concerns. Many of these devices, including security systems and smart sensors, lack robust defenses, making them attractive targets for malicious actors. SonicWall emphasizes the urgent need for organizations to implement rigorous security measures to protect against the exploitation of vulnerable devices. The potential consequences of these vulnerabilities extend far beyond traditional cybersecurity threats, threatening the integrity of national infrastructure and electoral security. Call to Action As the election approaches, SonicWall urges government organizations to prioritize cybersecurity by strengthening their defenses against malware and DDoS attacks. By implementing advanced security solutions and enhancing awareness of IoT vulnerabilities, organizations can better safeguard their operations against these escalating threats.

SonicWall Report Details 14 Million Victims of Malware Breaches in the U.S. Healthcare Sector

SonicWall discovers 91% of healthcare breaches involve ransomware in 2024 - underscoring the urgent need for improved cybersecurity and strong partnerships with MSPs/MSSPs MILPITAS, Calif. — September 26, 2024 — SonicWall today unveiled a 2024 SonicWall Threat Brief, focused exclusively on the healthcare industry and is based on extensive research from SonicWall Capture Labs. The report reveals that a minimum of 14 million patients in the U.S. have fallen victim to malware breaches in this sector. Despite SonicWall sensors successfully preventing over 26,000 attacks, the findings underscore that healthcare organizations, due to their essential operations and potential for financial gain, remain prime targets for ransomware. Many healthcare organizations operate with limited cybersecurity resources and often rely on outdated technology – making them susceptible to ransomware attacks. SonicWall also determined that an astounding 60% of vulnerabilities were leveraged against Microsoft Exchange. "Understanding the threat landscape is crucial for the healthcare industry to effectively defend against cyberattacks,” said Executive Director, Threat Research at SonicWall Doug McKee. “As ransomware evolves and targets sensitive patient data, organizations must stay informed about emerging threats and vulnerabilities. By equipping themselves with knowledge and robust security measures, healthcare providers can better protect their critical operations and ensure the safety of patient information." Disrupting access to patient data or medical systems can have life-threatening consequences. Because of this, healthcare organizations are more likely to pay ransoms to restore operations quickly. In 2024, ransomware was leveraged in 91% of malware-related data breaches in the healthcare sector, with Lockbit emerging as one of the most notorious ransomware groups targeting this industry. The increasing digitalization of health records and telehealth services further expands the attack surface, making it nearly impossible for healthcare organizations to go it alone. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) should play a vital role in the healthcare industry by delivering specialized expertise and resources that many organizations lack. As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, MSPs/MSSPs can implement robust security measures, monitor systems in real-time, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. Their proactive approach to cybersecurity helps healthcare providers defend sensitive patient data, minimize downtime, and focus on delivering quality care, ultimately enhancing the resilience of the entire healthcare ecosystem.
