Stellar Cyber, a Double Platinum ‘ASTORS’ Award Champion in the 2023 Homeland Security Awards Program, and the innovator of Open XDR has entered inao a new partnership with Proofpoint, a leading cybersecurity and compliance company.

Through this alliance, Proofpoint and Stellar Cyber customers benefit from an out-of-the-box integration enabling swift email investigations and real-time response actions to email-driven attacks.

Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection monitors emails to identify suspicious emails and potentially malicious attachments and URLs. Once identified, the findings are shared with Stellar Cyber automatically.

Stellar Cyber’s Open XDR platform ingests, normalizes, and analyzes Proofpoint findings and other collected data to deliver a comprehensive threat picture.

As security analysts conduct investigations, they can instruct integrated third-party products –  including Proofpoint – on corrective actions.

“Protecting organizations against email-borne attacks is a top priority, and security teams need a way to automatically correlate threat telemetry across the entire attack surface in order to quickly remediate threats,” explains Andrew Homer, VP of Strategic Alliances, Stellar Cyber.

“This new partnership with Proofpoint is the latest example of Stellar Cyber delivering on its Open XDR strategy to provide customers turnkey integrations that improve productivity and threat detection.”

“Email attacks remain the number one entry point into an organization, and the level of sophistication of these attacks continues to grow exponentially,” added D.J. Long, Vice President, Strategic Alliances & Business Development, Proofpoint.

“We’re thrilled to work with Stellar Cyber on this strategic alliance to help customers protect against advanced email-based threats and unify their cybersecurity defense.”

Through this new alliance, ‘ASTORS’ Champion Stellar Cyber and Proofpoint gives security teams an advantage over attackers, to attain the following results:

• Real-time threat signals exchanged for proactive detection

• Correlation of Proofpoint alerts across the entire attack surface

• Automated response actions for immediate threat containment.

The Open XDR platform from Stellar Cyber delivers comprehensive, unified security without complexity, empowering lean security teams of any skill to secure their environments successfully.

With Stellar Cyber, organizations reduce risk with early and precise identification and remediation of threats while slashing costs, retaining investments in existing tools, and improving analyst productivity.

Stellar Cyber Takes Double Platinum in 2023 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards

American Security Today’s Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards, the preeminent U.S. Homeland Security Awards Program, now entering its Ninth Year, recognizes industry leaders of Physical and Border Security, Cybersecurity, Emergency Preparedness – Management and Response, Law Enforcement, First Responders as well as federal, state and municipal government agencies in the acknowledgment of their outstanding efforts to Keep our Nation Secure.

STELLAR Cyber (First of Two)

Best Network Security Solution

• • • Stellar Cyber Open XDR Platform

• In most situations, Network Detection & Response (NDR) tools alone are not enough to provide comprehensive security.

• Analysts must also be able to see logs, real-time traffic, and user behaviors to detect complex attacks. Stellar Cyber’s pre-configured, single-license SecOps platform, powered by Open XDR, delivers built-in NDR and next-generation SIEM, UEBA, and TIP functionality to give analysts a full picture of what’s happening in the network.

• Today’s cyberattacks occur across multiple vectors, so using a single tool to detect networks, user activities, or endpoints can’t present a complete picture of these attacks. Stellar Cyber Open XDR features enterprise-class NDR capabilities and correlates and analyzes that data with data from its SIEM, UEBA, and TIP functions to detect complex attacks before they can cause real damage.

• The Open XDR Platform also democratizes security by combining all this functionality under a single, easy-to-use dashboard that can be trained within a day and operated by lower-level analysts (who are easier to hire in the highly constricted security analyst environment).

• As such, the platform brings world-class security within reach for SMEs and MSPs looking to expand their offerings with managed security services.

STELLAR Cyber (Second of Two)

Best Unified Incident & Event Management Solution

• • • • Stellar Cyber Open XDR Platform

• Stellar Cyber’s cybersecurity software makes industry-leading security capabilities accessible to small/medium enterprises (SMEs) that might not have a large staff of security analysts or a large collection of security tools.

• Stellar Cyber’s pre-configured, single-license SecOps platform, powered by Open XDR, delivers built-in NDR, next-generation SIEM, UEBA, and TIP capabilities and integrates with existing third-party tools such as EDRs.

• The Open XDR platform automatically normalizes and enriches data from all sources, correlates and analyzes the data with an AI- and machine learning-driven engine, and reports actionable incidents that analysts can immediately act upon to stop nascent attacks before they become a problem.

• This reduces hacker dwell time in the customer’s network and ensures analysts look at real issues rather than chasing alerts and manually digging through data to find the needles in the haystack.

• *Stellar Cyber is a Returning ‘ASTORS’ Champion, having secured Wins in the 2022 and 2021 Awards Programs.

The continually evolving ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security, Public Safety, and Government Excellence Awards Program will highlight the trail of Accomplished Women in Leadership in 2024.

So be on the lookout for exciting upcoming announcements of Speakers, Presenters, Book Signing Opportunities, and Attendees at the 2024 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Presentation Luncheon in November of 2024 in New York City!

In 2023, this exclusive sold-out event featured at ISC East, well over two hundred representatives of law enforcement, public safety, and industry leaders came together to honor the selfless service of those who stand on the front lines – and those who stand beside them – providing the capabilities and technologies to create a safer world for future generations.

Comprehensive collaborations between these private and public sectors have led to the development of innovative intelligence and technologies that serve to protect our Nation.

Steven Dettelbach, Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms (ATF) and Explosives, delivered the keynote address at the 2023 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security and Excellence in Public Safety Awards Ceremony and Banquet Luncheon.

Director Dettelbach spoke with passion on the epidemic of Gun Violence by Illegal Guns taking place across the United States, which results in over 125 deaths daily and impacting generations of families – leaving open chairs at holiday events.

Firearm injuries were the leading case of death for children for the third year in a row, he explained, and have doubled in the U.S. since 2021, levels that are simply intolerable.

Director Dettelbach lauded the strong partnerships with Federal, State, Local, and Tribal Policing that ATF has earned and relies upon to reduce violence and spoke with admiration as a former prosecutor on the selfless sense of mission and drive that is universal across the entire First Responder Community.

The prestigious Annual ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program highlights the most cutting-edge and forward-thinking security solutions coming onto the market today to ensure our readers have the information they need to stay ahead of the competition and keep our Nation safe – one facility, street, and city at a time.
