AI-Powered Security Solution Enhances
Cybersecurity Effectiveness Through Coordination, Integration and
Automation
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug. 8, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- CISO Global, Inc., an industry leader as a
managed cybersecurity and compliance provider, today unveiled Argo
Edge, a powerful tool stack the company has been developing and
testing for the past two years in enterprise environments,
including both government and privately held entities. Argo Edge
combines the most sought-after security technologies on the market
with CISO's proprietary IP and threat feeds for a pre-built and
easy-to-implement combined solution. This new solution has been
independently valued at $49
million.
With its unique approach, Argo Edge layers together
pre-configured, pre-integrated technologies that include cloud
firewall as a service (FaaS), secure internet gateway, secure
authentication, secure service edge (SSE), and containerized
internet browser sessions for each user. This solution provides
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Cloud Access Security Broker
(CASB) and Data Loss Protection (DLP) capabilities across an
organization's cloud applications and environment, and overall
improved network performance. The AI component of Argo Edge further
hardens networks by learning from each blocked attack and applying
this new knowledge to unaffected environments as a
forward-thinking, protective functionality.
"We believe this valuation solidifies CISO Global as a growing
leader in the cybersecurity industry, and that the solution's
capabilities validate the company's ability to deliver on its
mission to demystify and accelerate its clients' journey to cyber
resilience," said David Jemmett, CEO
of CISO Global. "Unlike most security platforms currently on the
market that add complexity and increase the need for additional
staff to manage them, Argo Edge leverages automation and
preconfigures highly complex security processes."
Argo Edge is secure by design and default, out of the box. Its
capabilities include secure user authentication, secure service
edge, powerful web filtering, containerized sessions for all
internal users to protect corporate assets from direct access, as
well as any internet-facing activity.
Argo Edge is designed to address widespread struggles of
enterprises to achieve true resiliency across modern, distributed
networks due to a combination of vendor sprawl, tool overload,
remote and hybrid workforces, and cybersecurity expertise gaps.
Together, these challenges have led to the common scenario of
companies remaining highly vulnerable to attack, despite hefty
investments in tools and teams. By aggregating and potentially
replacing numerous tools, this solution empowers internal teams to
manage technologies, while reducing the daily time and specialized
skillsets required to do so. Security teams that may lack enough
specialized cybersecurity workers can still manage extremely
powerful technologies effectively.
"With an average of over 75 security tools to manage and an
ongoing 3.4 million global cybersecurity practitioner shortfall,
most enterprises struggle to achieve air-tight configuration,
integration, and management of existing platforms," commented CISO
Global Chief Technology Officer Jerald
Dawkins, Ph.D. "CISO Global sees this as a lack of foresight
of security vendors who look to sell 'silver bullets', rather than
address the daily struggles of managing existing technologies."
Argo Edge's data visualizations will be delivered through Argo
Security Management, an umbrella platform that aggregates and
visualizes key security data across client environments.
