CLEVELAND—August 14, 2024—Frustrated Verizon (NYSE: VZ) customers are sharing complaints that the company is forcing them to pay to replace defective mobile devices they bought from the carrier. Their phones repeatedly dropped calls or missed calls altogether. After reporting these difficulties to Verizon, they were told that their only option was to purchase a new device.

“It’s not a safe feeling when people who depend on you can’t trust Verizon to connect their calls, because the phone Verizon sold you doesn’t work properly,” explained Hugh Taylor, a longtime Verizon customer who experienced this issue. “And, it’s quite galling to be told, in effect, ‘Sorry, that $1,000 phone we made you buy doesn’t work, so go ahead and spend another $1,000 for a new phone that may not work any better. You can trust us not to stand behind it.’ Is that quality? Is that service? Is that valuing the customer? I think not.”

Forcing customers to pay to replace defective phones may seem like a minor issue in the scheme of things, but it reveals a great deal about the real impacts of non-enforcement of anti-trust laws in the USA. Verizon and AT&T comprise a virtual duopoly for American wireless service, and their customer service quality appears to reflect that market dominance. “A business that actually had to compete to win your business would never stiff people like this,” Taylor added. “They would be punished in the marketplace. However, if you’re Verizon, you effectively own the marketplace, so why do anything for customers?”

The “sorry, but you’re forced to waste your money” policy also showcases the unintended consequences of the ethos of maximizing shareholder value in American corporate management. The drive to increase short term earnings at any cost actually destroys brands over time—and this little incident shows how that can happen. Taylor, for example, would be spending something like $24,000 with Verizon over the next 20 years if he stays with the carrier. Refusing to replace a phone that they’ve already been paid for—the better to squeeze a little more margin this quarter—puts a lot of future revenue and market capitalization at risk.

The groundbreaking generative AI solution helps overburdened security teams bridge the gap between immediate training needs and mounting time, resource limitations 

Atlanta, GA – June 13, 2024 – IRONSCALES, the AI-powered email security leader protecting 13,000 global customers from advanced phishing attacks, today announced the General Availability (GA) of its game-changing GPT-powered Phishing Simulation Testing solution. This innovative capability, now available to IRONSCALES Complete Protect customers, marks a significant advancement in the ease, efficacy and accessibility of cybersecurity training and awareness.

In Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report, researchers found that the median time for users to click on a phishing simulation link is just 21 seconds, while the median time to submit sensitive data to the simulated phishing site was just 28 seconds. What’s more, the report found that human error still factors into over 68% of all successful breaches.

Together, these stats point to a glaring need for more training and testing. However, creating personalized phishing simulation campaigns has always been time-consuming and challenging, particularly at scale. Moreover, a recent survey of cybersecurity leaders found that some 59% of teams are understaffed. The new GPT-powered training addresses this problem by using advanced AI to automate and optimize the process. This not only saves time for security teams but also ensures comprehensive training for employees, equipping them to recognize and respond to sophisticated, targeted phishing attempts.

“The new GPT-powered training feature from IRONSCALES has completely revolutionized the way our team approaches cybersecurity training,” said Elliot Franklin, CISO at Fortitude Re. “Instead of a generic phishing email that is pretty easy to spot during a simulation test, my users were really challenged with this tool, which helps them to remain vigilant. As a CISO, it gives me the extra confidence to know who is truly aware of all the elements of a sophisticated phishing email – things such as domain, hyperlinked text vs. URL, etc. – compared to users who may need additional training and support. I appreciate how seamlessly we can deploy phishing simulation testing, saving my team valuable time, while increasing the knowledge of our employees, and the general state of awareness of our organization.”

The new GPT-powered training leverages PhishLLM™ , a proprietary large language model developed by IRONSCALES and trained on millions of data points crowdsourced from the company’s vast community of users. This technology enables the creation of highly-personalized and socially engineered spear-phishing simulation campaigns at an unprecedented scale and speed.

Key features include:

• The ability to generate up to 2,000 spear phishing email simulations in just one hour, significantly reducing preparation time;
• A wide variety of templates with different introductions and closings, enhancing the realism and variability of simulations;
• A streamlined process for setting up campaigns, saving security teams time in the creation and execution of employee testing initiatives.

This launch is the latest in a series of GPT-powered innovations from IRONSCALES, including the company’s game-changing Themis Copilot for Outlook, launched in July 2023. Themis Copilot recently won the Silver Globee® Award in the category of Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Disruptors. With these advancements, IRONSCALES continues to expand its portfolio of generative AI capabilities, ensuring its continued presence at the forefront of inbound and outbound enterprise email security. These tools, powered by adaptive AI, help organizations stay ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape by reducing human error and increasing security awareness.

New products deliver AI-driven protection for serverless resources running in AWS Fargate

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – June 11, 2024 – Cloud security is a balance between an organization’s drive to digitally transform and the need to secure a dynamic and fluid environment in an ever-evolving threat landscape. Ephemeral cloud environments such as serverless containers may be short-lived, but they present a real and growing security risk, and attackers can wreak havoc if they are unprotected. SentinelOne (NYSE: S), a global leader in AI-powered security, today announced the launch of Singularity™ Cloud Workload Security for Serverless Containers, a new offering that provides real-time, AI-powered protection to secure containerized workloads running on AWS Fargate for Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS.

“As a long-time and strategic Amazon Partner Network member, we are committed to delivering market-leading innovations through simple integrations that enable customers to improve their security outcomes and change the game,” said Brian Lanigan, Senior Vice President, Global Ecosystem, SentinelOne.

And customers are seeing value.

As noted on PeerSpot by a Senior Software Engineer who uses SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Workload Security,  “The visibility of workload telemetry is excellent, and the hunting capabilities are second to none. The most valuable feature is the ability to gain deep visibility into the workloads inside containers.”

Securing Short-Term Resources

Ephemeral containerized workloads running on AWS Fargate allow rapid scale and deployment to refresh environments, offering business and technical agility. However, their short-lived nature does not automatically mean they are secure. While these resources may only live for minutes, attackers can compromise within seconds and look for opportunities to move to higher-value, longer-living resources ahead of the ephemeral resource being deleted. Adversaries can also gain an initial foothold elsewhere in a cloud environment and pivot to serverless container resources to conduct attacks, such as crypto-mining.

“Enterprises of all sizes are increasingly moving toward serverless infrastructure services to accelerate innovation at scale, and it is critical that these resources are protected,” said Ely Kahn, Vice President, Product Management, Cloud Security, SentinelOne. “With AWS Fargate, developers can focus on building applications without managing servers and get ideas into production more quickly, and with SentinelOne, they can be sure they do so securely.”

Delivering AI-Powered Protection

Singularity Cloud Workload Security for Serverless Containers is AI-powered runtime protection that leverages five autonomous detection engines to detect runtime threats like ransomware, zero-days, and fileless exploits in real time and streamline machine-speed response actions. AWS customers can now protect their containerized workloads however they are launched, from Amazon EC2 to AWS Fargate.

Cloud Workload Security is part of SentinelOne’s cloud security portfolio, which includes Singularity Cloud Native Security and Singularity Cloud Data Security. The solution sits on top of the Singularity Platform and Singularity Data Lake, delivering the most comprehensive CNAPP in the market.

SentinelOne’s Singularity Platform protects the entire enterprise across every endpoint, identity, and workload on every cloud. The unified, intelligent platform ingests data from any source and applies advanced AI and machine learning to normalize, consolidate, and contextualize insights in a single, powerful data lake. Through simple integration, relevant AWS logs, including AWS CloudTrail and AWS Security Hub, can also be ingested.

Driving SOC Efficiency
The Singularity Platform is supercharged with the power of Purple AI, an advanced generative AI security analyst that provides autonomous SecOps tools designed to radically accelerate security teams’ threat hunting and investigations, reduce Mean Time to Response, and deliver complete end-to-end AI-powered enterprise security to stay ahead of attacks.

“Detecting attacks is only one part of the security equation,” Kahn said. “By combining SentinelOne’s agent and agentless capabilities with the power of Purple AI, security teams can now more automatically hunt for, triage, and investigate these attacks using the power of Purple AI’s natural language translation, summarization, and guided hunting capabilities .”

Faster Time to Value: Claroty helps users more quickly operationalize their asset inventory with a precision-driven and “right-for-me” approach to asset discovery paired with automated enhancement to visibility. Capabilities that enable faster time-to-value include:

• Tailored Discovery for Deep Visibility: Recognizing that no two CPS networks are identical, Claroty employs multiple, distinct discovery methods that, as illustrated in new research also released today, achieve the same highest quality visibility (87% basic, full and deep visibility) as traditional passive methods (86%).
• Visibility Orchestration: Capabilities that identify gaps in asset inventory, recommend discovery techniques, and provide co-piloted orchestration series of actions to create the industry’s most comprehensive, in-depth asset profiles that ultimately enable more effective risk reduction.
• Artificial Intelligence: By combining Claroty’s deep understanding of CPS, statistical inference methods, large language models, and machine learning, Claroty’s AI-powered analysis engine classifies assets, provides security insights, and recommends actions completely out-of-the-box.

Lower Total Cost: The Claroty Platform consolidates the management, monitoring, and control of CPS security, driving down total cost through the following capabilities:

• Unified Platform: Controlling CPS security solutions in one place dramatically simplifies organizations’ ability to streamline risk management, apply compensating controls, respond to threats, and manage their overall security posture.
