Revolutionizing Security: NetWitness and Lumifi Cyber Team Up

In a notable move in the cybersecurity sector, NetWitness and Lumifi Cyber have announced a strategic partnership set to elevate the standards of Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solutions for both Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT). This collaboration seeks to address ongoing challenges faced by organizations in maintaining robust cybersecurity measures, especially in an era where threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated.

A Deep Dive into the Partnership

The joint venture leverages NetWitness's elite analytics and forensic capabilities alongside Lumifi’s seasoned expertise in security operations. Together, they present a well-rounded service that ensures 24/7 monitoring, investigation, and escalation, filling a significant gap many firms encounter with their in-house capabilities.

As industries strive to integrate their security tools effectively, the shortage of qualified cybersecurity professionals becomes a pressing issue. Many organizations are now opting for a blend of integrated technologies and expert-led services to meet their extensive monitoring requirements. Lumifi, with over 15 years of experience in threat detection, adds significant value to this partnership through their extensive library of detection mechanisms, which bolsters and enhances existing NetWitness installations.

David Norlin, CTO of Lumifi, remarked, "While many organizations have state-of-the-art tools, they often lack the necessary expertise to exploit them fully. Our comprehensive detection and enrichment library empowers organizations to achieve meaningful cybersecurity outcomes."

Comprehensive MDR Features

Lumifi's MDR services combined with NetWitness provide multiple key features designed for comprehensive coverage:

• - Unrestricted access to Lumifi’s detection content library,
• - Continuous and proactive threat hunting,
• - Around-the-clock SOC monitoring and incident response,
• - Regular updates on detection capabilities to combat new and evolving threats.

Addressing Challenges in OT Security

One of the critical aspects of this partnership is the monitoring of digitized OT environments. As OT systems converge more closely with traditional IT networks, organizations face new risks and visibility challenges. The demand for specialized detection engineering tailored to specific client needs has surged as these industrial systems integrate with identity providers and enterprise networks.

John Pirc (JP), Chief Product and Technology Officer for NetWitness, highlighted, "Today's converged IT/OT environments are increasingly common, with critical infrastructure often managed through traditional IT tools. While this convergence presents significant risks, it opens up opportunities for visibility into OT management activities through the same analytics used for IT security."

The joint solution effectively harnesses NetWitness's analytical prowess and Lumifi's custom detection development skills, marking a significant advancement in OT security monitoring. Norlin underlined the importance of tailored detection solutions, stating, "No two organizations are alike. Each OT environment possesses unique characteristics, and detection systems must be customized or built from the ground up to be effective. This is Lumifi’s forte."

Ensuring Future Security

As cyber threats increasingly target operational frameworks and critical infrastructure, the partnership between NetWitness and Lumifi Cyber offers a pragmatic approach to transforming the complexities of OT security into operational confidence. Organizations that invest in these advanced security solutions can navigate the increasingly intricate cybersecurity landscape with a greater sense of assurance.
