BlueVoyant has introduced its new Cyber Defense Platform, integrating various cyber defense solutions into a single, cloud-native system aimed at enhancing organisational cyber postures cost-effectively.
The launch addresses evolving requirements for security operations teams, which now include protecting internal networks and countering external threats from supply chain vendors and malicious actors on the dark web. James Rosenthal, CEO and co-founder of BlueVoyant, stated, "The BlueVoyant Cyber Defense Platform is a leap forward in the cybersecurity landscape. We understand the escalating demands that security operations teams face in detecting and responding to threats swiftly. Our platform harnesses the power of AI to respond to those challenges with next-generation security operations across the entire attack surface. The result is improved scalability, enhanced productivity, and a stronger cyber risk posture, all based on cutting-edge technology."
The Cyber Defense Platform is equipped to manage various cyber defense needs, featuring multiple products and services aimed at fortifying an organisation’s security framework. Detection & Response capabilities utilise Managed Extended Detection & Response (MXDR) across endpoints, SIEM (Security Information and Event Management), and the cloud, supplemented by Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR).
Supply Chain Defense is another critical component, enabling organisations to manage risks from suppliers, vendors, and third parties. Digital Risk Protection addresses external cyber risks, such as brand impersonation, phishing, and stolen data, while Proactive Defense includes features like vulnerability management, penetration testing, phishing awareness, and dark web threat research. Additionally, Cyber Posture Management allows continuous assessment and improvement of an organisation’s security posture, leveraging the NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF).
Sumit Bansal, Vice President for Asia Pacific & Japan at BlueVoyant, commented on the pressing cybersecurity challenges in the region. "The Asia Pacific region is currently facing some of the highest numbers of cyber attacks globally, and security operations teams are increasingly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of alerts they must analyse, struggling to distinguish genuine threats," Bansal said. "It is imperative for organisations to adopt smarter, more efficient methods to prepare and secure against malicious threats. In today’s rapidly digitising landscape, the only viable strategy to stay ahead of cyber threats is by harnessing the power of AI. BlueVoyant’s Cyber Defense Platform offers organisations unprecedented automation and proactive threat detection capabilities, providing much-needed relief and efficiency for overstretched security teams. By leveraging this technology, organisations can ensure they are not just reacting to threats but proactively defending against them."
BlueVoyant’s client base has surpassed 1,000, and the company has recently acquired Conquest Cyber, a firm noted for its innovative SaaS technology. Additionally, BlueVoyant was named the 2024 Worldwide Security Partner of the Year by Microsoft, acknowledging the firm's leading role in cybersecurity. The company also participates in the Microsoft Copilot for Security Design Council.
To support its expanding operations, BlueVoyant has opened a new Security Operations Centre (SOC) and Customer Experience Centre in Leeds, England, which complements its existing SOC in Hungary. An additional SOC is scheduled to open in Ireland later this year. These centres aim to provide additional in-time-zone support for European clients, supplementing BlueVoyant's global security operations network.
