RSA Conference is taking place this week in San Francisco, and the second day kicked off with a number of announcements from security companies.

Here are some highlights from the event.

CrowdStrike announces Falcon Adversary OverWatch

Falcon Adversary OverWatch integrates intelligence data feeds with AI automation to enable more advanced threat detection in the Falcon platform. It monitors for threats across all attack surfaces, including endpoints, identity, and cloud. 

Additionally, the company also revealed Charlotte AI Agentic Response and Charlotte AI Agentic Workflows. Charlotte AI Agentic Response automatically asks the kinds of investigative questions an experienced security analyst would ask. Charlotte AI Agentic Workflows can be integrated into automated playbooks to enhance them with AI reasoning, such as using AI to determine whether a device should be contained based on company policies. 

Bitwarden introduces preview of Access Intelligence

Access Intelligence enables organizations to defend against internal credential risks and external phishing threats.

Its Risk Insights dashboard provides visibility into credential-related threats by identifying weak, reused, or exposed credentials that are used in key business applications. It can prioritize remediation efforts based on how important the application is, alert users of compromised credentials, and initiate guided remediation workflows. It also monitors password health improvements so that organizations can track the evolution of their password practices. 

It also includes an Advanced Phishing Blocker that uses an open source blocklist of malicious domains and redirects users away from those pages. 

NetApp updates security capabilities of its storage portfolio

The company has now embedded NIST’s post-quantum cryptography algorithms across its storage portfolio for file and block workflows. 

It also updated its BlueXP ransomware solution with new role-based access controls that are specific to ransomware, and redesigned the user interface in NetApp BlueXP Backup and Recovery so that organizations can more easily use it to define their data protection strategies. 

“Security teams need to factor storage into their security strategies because it is the last line of defense for their data and the right storage can play an active role in protecting the enterprise,” said Gagan Gulati, senior vice president and general manager of data services at NetApp.

Blackpoint Cyber launches CompassOne

CompassOne brings together several security capabilities under a single unified platform, including security posture rating, unified asset inventory, tenant administration, managed detection and response, vulnerability management, application control, cloud posture management, and logging with integrated compliance (LogIC). 

“Security teams don’t have time to stitch together fragmented tools and dashboards,” said Jon Murchison, founder and chief executive officer at Blackpoint Cyber. “CompassOne simplifies cybersecurity by providing complete visibility, rapid response, and a fully managed approach, all in a single, cost-effective solution. No more tool sprawl. No more wasted time. No more reactive security.”

Black Kite introduces Vulnerability Intelligence Briefs

Vulnerability Intelligence Briefs (VBI) provides insights into how relevant, discoverable, and actionable CVEs are so that organizations can best prioritize remediation. Organizations will then be able to leverage Black Kite capabilities like Auto-Scanning for measuring patch management risk and FocusTags that automatically flag vendors who have experienced a data breach, ransomware attack, or other security incident. 

“With the release of Black Kite VIB, we are providing a solution that has the actionable intelligence and tools needed so that organizations can move from reactive patching to a strategic ecosystem defense. Without doubt, this launch represents a new era where managing vulnerability risks in third-parties is not only possible but now is a critical part of third-party cyber risk management,” said Chuck Schauber, chief product officer at Black Kite.

Entrust unveils its Cryptographic Security Platform

The platform provides a single dashboard for organizations to monitor their cryptographic assets, assess their cryptographic risk, enforce policies, and secure keys, secrets, and certificates. It will be available next month.

“Siloed cybersecurity tools are no longer enough in a world where keys, secrets, and certificates are increasingly being targeted by AI-enhanced attacks. We’re seeing an explosion of data and devices that need to be secured by cryptography, and we’re in the midst of a multi-year transition to quantum-secure cryptography. It’s clear that every organization must place a heightened focus on cryptographic estate management as the foundation of data and identity security,” said Bhagwat Swaroop, president of digital security at Entrust. “With our new Cryptographic Security Platform, Entrust and our partners are helping organizations protect their cryptographic foundations.”
