Cybercriminals Exploiting Global
Pandemic at Enormous Scale: Fortinet
Nutanix Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure
Now Available on Amazon Web Services
The adaptability of adversaries enabled waves of attacks targeting the fear and uncertainty in current
events, according to the findings of the latest semiannual FortiGuard Labs Global Threat Landscape Report.
Nutanix Clusters enables seamless application migration and unified operations
across clouds to help businesses accelerate their cloud journey with AWS.
Fortinet has announced the findings
of the latest semiannual FortiGuard
Labs Global Threat Landscape Re-
port. FortiGuard Labs threat intel-
ligence from the first half of 2020
demonstrates the dramatic scale at
which cybercriminals and nation-state
actors leveraged a global pandemic as
an opportunity to implement a variety
of cyberattacks around the world. The
adaptability of adversaries enabled
waves of attacks targeting the fear
and uncertainty in current events as
well as the sudden abundance of re-
mote workers outside the corporate
network, which quickly expanded the
digital attack surface overnight.
Although many compelling threat
trends were related to the pan-
demic, some threats still had their
own drivers. For example, ransom-
ware and attacks targeting Inter-
net-of-Things (IoT) devices as well
as operational technology (OT) are
not diminishing, but are instead
evolving to become more targeted
and more sophisticated.
At a global level, the majority of threats
are seen worldwide and across indus-
tries, with some regional or vertical
variation. Similar to the COVID-19
pandemic, a certain threat might have
started in one area but eventually
spreads almost everywhere, meaning
mostorganisationscouldfacethethreat.
There are of course regional differences
in infection rates based on factors such
as policies, practices, or response.
“The first six months of 2020 wit-
nessed an unprecedented cyber threat
landscape. The dramatic scale and
rapid evolution of attack methods
demonstrate the nimbleness of adver-
saries to quickly shift their strategies to
vironments and enables seamless
mobility across private and public
clouds without any rearchitecting of
the apps due to built-in networking
integration with AWS. Customers
now have the flexibility to choose
the right cloud environment for each
application with the added benefit
of license portability across clouds,
which has a direct impact on cost
and resource optimization.
Additionally, customers will be able
to take advantage of the company’s
full software stack on private and
public cloud. This includes unstruc-
tured storage solutions Files, appli-
cation orchestration solution Calm,
database administration and auto-
mation solution Era, and more.

simple that it’s invisible,” said Tarkan
Maner, Chief Commercial Officer at
Nutanix. “As the industry evolved,
our focus has expanded beyond the
datacenter to help our customers
manage the complexity of multiple
clouds, whether private or public.
Nutanix Clusters on AWS is the re-
alization of this vision. This enables
complete flexibility by allowing busi-
nesses to write code once and use it
anywhere, taking advantage of scale,
location, integration, and pricing of
multiple options - this is the true vi-
sion of hybrid cloud.”
Nutanix Clusters on AWS is current-
ly available to customers in 20 AWS
Regions. In addition to being able to
easily use their existing portable Nu-
tanix licenses, customers will be able
to choose between Cloud Commit
and pay-as-you-go models.
Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon
EC2) instances on Amazon Web Ser-
vices (AWS). With this announce-
ment, Nutanix delivers hybrid cloud
infrastructure — one that allows
businesses to accelerate their digital
initiatives and optimize spending,
priorities further amplified in the
age of COVID. Nutanix offers a sin-
gle stack that integrates compute and
storage, provides unified operations
across private and public clouds, in-
tegrated networking with AWS, and
license portability from private to
public clouds, thus addressing key
technical and operational challenges
of the hybrid cloud era.
With this announcement, Nutanix
extends the simplicity and ease of
use of its software to public cloud.
This eliminates the cost and man-
agement complexity of hybrid en-

Chief, Security Insights & Global
Threat Alliances, FortiGuard Labs.
“There has never been a clearer picture
than now, of why organisations need
to adjust their defense strategies going
forward to fully take into account the
network perimeter extending into the
home. It is critical for organisations to
take measures to protect their remote
workers and help them secure their
devices and home networks for the
long term. It is also wise to consider
adopting the same strategy for cyber
viruses that we are adopting in the real
world. Cyber social distancing is all
about recognising risks and keeping
our distance.”

PTC Enhances Industrial IoT Platform
CyberArk Alero Enhances
Remote User Security with New
Authentication Options
CyberArk has announced new ad-
vancements for CyberArk Alero that
enable remote users to securely access
critical systems managed by CyberArk
from any mobile device – including
non-smartphones.
There are nearly 1.3 billion feature
phones, or non-smartphones, still in
use around the globe, which can be at-
tributed to a number of factors including
geography, government regulations and
industry preferences. Smartphone adop-
tion use in emerging countries, for ex-
ample, is less than 45 percent and across
Europe, employees avoid using personal
phones for work, putting the onus on
organizations to find alternate solutions,
which may not always be a smartphone.
By combining Zero Trust and
multi-factor authentication, CyberArk
Alero is a leading SaaS-based solution
that provides fast, easy and secure priv-
ileged access for remote users based on
a passwordless, biometrics approach.
In cases where smartphone use is limit-
ed, Alero now supports SMS and push
notifications, expanding the number of
remote users such as third-party ven-
dors, employees and contractors who
often require privileged access to sen-
sitive systems and data to do their jobs.
In addition, CyberArk also announced
that it has added a new datacenter in
Frankfurt, Germany to address in-
creasing global demand for Alero. This
datacenter will accompany existing da-

Ivanti Announces New Service
and Asset Management Releases
Ivanti has announced enhanced capa-
bilities for the Ivanti Enterprise Service
Management portfolio, which includes
service management, asset manage-
ment and automation solutions. The
new releases give service desks greater
visibility, in real time, to actionable in-
formation across their device estate to
improve the accuracy, speed and effi-
ciency of services delivered. This leads
to better outcomes and can resolve up to
80% of issues before users report them
through the use of automation bots.
Leveraging Ivanti Neurons, Ivanti con-

earth new security concerns in remote
work environments.
The data showed that since organi-
zations moved to a work from home
(WFH) model, the potential for cyber-
attacks and breaches has increased. In
fact, since the start of the pandemic, 20
percent of respondents said they faced
a security breach as a result of a re-
mote worker. This in turn led to higher
costs, with 24 percent of respondents
saying they paid unexpected expens-
es to address a cybersecurity breach or
malware attack following shelter-in-
place orders.
In addition, 28 percent of respondents
admitted they’re using personal de-
vices for work–related activities more
than their work-issued devices, which
could create new opportunities for cy-
berattacks. This figure becomes more
problematic next to another survey
adapted to take advantage of improp-
erly secured corporate VPNs, cloud-

all which could be used for infiltration
of corporate assets. There has also
been a surge in phishing emails that
use COVID-19 as a lure to cover up
malicious activity.
Despite this, companies appear to
have a high lev-
el of confidence
about the transi-
tion to working

VMware has unveiled the newest ver-
sions of its VMware Fusion and VM-
ware Workstation desktop hypervisor
solutions. The firm’s updates support
the changing needs of modern de-
velopers by extending the tools tra-
ditionally used to simplify workflows
and expand capabilities of virtual
machines (VMs) to container-based
applications orchestrated with Ku-
bernetes. The latest release of Fusion
also introduces a new edition—Fusion
Player—available with a free Personal
Use license as well as offering a paid
license for commercial use.
“Developers can now slipstream Ku-
bernetes applications from test/dev
into production,” said Lee Caswell,
Vice President, Marketing, Cloud Plat-
form Business Unit, VMware. “We’ve
built a consistent CI/CD operational
model that—with our free Player ver-
sion—is available for all developers.”
The new updates expand support
for modern application developers
with enhancements to VMware’s
container engine CLI—vctl—while
also making it available on Worksta-
tion for Windows. With Fusion or
Workstation, developers will be able
to support more custom Kubernetes
clusters with support for ‘kind’ — a
tool for running local Kubernetes
clusters using containers as “nodes.”
Containers built with vctl can be
tested on local Kubernetes clusters
to validate pipeline workflows before
pushing them upstream to a central
registry such as Harbor. In turn, the
containers can be implemented on

if security gets in the way of produc-
tivity, users will find a way around it.
Organizations can choose whether to
expand MTD’s multi-vector phish-
ing protection to include cloud-based
phishing URL database lookup. This
enables organizations to control the bal-

ic Series. The series delivers efficient,
cost-effective, and reliable services for
AI, HPC, videos, and other mass data
scenarios by breaking architectural,
service, and performance bound-
aries, and leveraging uncompro-
mised multi-protocol interworking,
next-generation elastic EC algorithm,
and a series of dedicated hardware.
This series marks a new standard for
future-oriented mass data storage,
helping enterprises fully unleash data
power in the intelligent age.
The fourth industrial revolution has
made digital production the currency
of modern business models. Digital
production turns data into opportu-
nities, then these opportunities into
services, and finally into profits. With
this new production factor, enterprises
must find a way of cost-effectively col-
lecting and storing different types of
data such as structured data from core
services and mass unstructured data
from 5G, IoT, and UHD. Enterpris-
es use AI technologies to analyse and
process the massive amounts of data to
convert data into knowledge and ser-
vices, improving production efficiency.
Peter Zhou, President of Huawei Data
Storage and Intelligent Vision Prod-
uct Line, said, “Enterprises are facing
insufficient capacity, data silos, and
complex management when dealing

Tableau 2020.3 also broadens the
connectivity of the Tableau plat-
form through the introduction of
Connectors to the Tableau Exten-
sion Gallery, a new collection of
partner-built integrations that let
customers access data sources in ad-
dition to those natively supported by
Tableau. Partners have built connec-
tors that are immediately available
and provide a more performant con-
nection to these databases.
Tableau Software has announced the
general availability of Tableau 2020.3,
which delivers the ability for custom-
ers to output to and update external
databases directly from Tableau Prep
Builder, expanding the Tableau plat-
form to serve a broader set of data

Trend Micro Announces XDR Suite in the UAE
XDR goes beyond endpoint detection and response (EDR) and ingests activity data from other security
vectors to deliver high fidelity alerts to SOC/SIEM operations, reducing time to detect and respond.
Trend Micro has announced that its
XDR suite is officially available in the
United Arab Emirates (UAE), driving
new levels of cybersecurity amid UAE
Vision 2021’s digital transformation.
Trend Micro XDR is the first in the cy-
bersecurityindustrythatoffersthemost
extensive correlated detection going be-
yond endpoint detection and response
(EDR). It collects and analyzes activity
data from emails, endpoints, servers,
cloud workloads, and networks, en-
abling security operations center (SOC)
teams to detect, investigate, and re-
spond to threats more effectively.
Today’s SOC analysts are up against
sophisticated threats that are designed
to circumvent the most advanced pro-
tection. Adding fire to the fuel is the
massive volume of alerts they have to
triage on a daily basis. Low job satis-
faction and cybersecurity talent short-
age are commonplace challenges for
SOCs across the region.
Trend Micro’s XDR is designed to ad-
dress such operational nightmares in a
SOC. It delivers three major benefits,
unparalleled by any other existing
point solution:
Reducing alert fatigue: With XDR,
level one SOC analysts no longer
have to comb through mountains
of noisy alerts and logs to identi-
fy a potential attack. XDR does it
automatically for them and gen-
erates a few high-fidelity alerts
instead of a thousand low-confi-
dence ones, significantly reducing
alert volume.
Powerful workbench that provides
contextual visibility for alerts: The
XDR dashboard presents attacks in
a visualized manner, enabling SOC
analysts to see the different stages,
attack vectors, dwell time, and the
spread and impact.
Augmenting SIEM and effortless
API integration: Trend Micro XDR
augments SIEM for the SOC team,
with centralization of normalized
data and incident response capabili-
ty that improve operational efficien-
cy and productivity.
Trend Micro’s XDR is also avail-
able as a managed service (MDR),
to further alleviate the pressure of
constrained in-house teams. The
MDR team conducts 24/7 full-threat
analysis and threat hunting, and
provides response plans and remedi-
ation recommendations.
Majd Sinan, Country Manager, UAE,
Trend Micro, said, “In the face of
increasingly sophisticated threats,
UAE organizations need visibility to
extend beyond their endpoints, to
their networks and cloud solutions,
breaking down the silos of their cy-
bersecurity tools. XDR provides inte-
grated visibility, increased detection
and response to cyber-attacks, and
enhanced efficiency of security oper-
ations centers.”
