Frontline Vulnerability Manager and LogRhythm’s NextGen SIEM Platform Help Enterprises and Service Providers ID and Clean Up Infections Early On

SAN ANTONIO – January 27, 2021 – Digital Defense, Inc., a leader in vulnerability management and threat assessment solutions, today announced the integration of its Frontline Vulnerability Manager™ (Frontline VM™) proprietary scanning technology, part of its Frontline.Cloud™ cloud-native software as a service (SaaS) platform, with the LogRhythm NextGen SIEM Platform. The combined solution improves threat detection and response through risk-based prioritization and remediation that can be leveraged by any size organization or as part of a comprehensive managed services offering for managed security providers (MSPs) and managed service security providers (MSSPs).

“The Digital Defense Frontline VM integration with the LogRhythm Platform will provide users with a powerful on-demand vulnerability management and threat assessment solution that adds real-time risk and threat posture, helping security teams identify vulnerable systems and prioritize response for faster detection and neutralization of cyber threats,” said Sanjay Raja, vice president of strategy and technical marketing at Digital Defense.

As security information and event management (SIEM) becomes the basis for security operations center (SOC) platforms, integrating vulnerability management and risk posture information helps security teams understand which systems are most severely impacted by threats and provide needed context for security teams to remediate systems. As a member of the LogRhythm Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) Program, Digital Defense enables clients, MSPs and MSSPs to leverage vulnerability and threat assessment data from Frontline.Cloud that is ingested and correlated by the LogRhythm Platform to assess the risk posture of systems and leverage that data to prioritize threat investigations and remediation efforts.

“The technology integration with Digital Defense allows us to offer our joint customers a more complete security solution and greater protection across the full threat lifecycle,” said James Carder, CSO and VP of Labs, LogRhythm. “It will improve both security teams’ overall threat detection and response capabilities, as well as MSPs’ and MSSPs’ delivery of effective managed detection and response programs.”

The integration supports on-premises, hybrid-cloud and multi-tenant environments to provide the following benefits:

• Cloud feeds real-time asset information and context into the LogRhythm NextGen SIEM Platform, including deduplication of assets such as virtual, cloud and mobile infrastructures that are dynamic in nature.
• In a dedicated dashboard within the LogRhythm Platform, Frontline.Cloud provides customized vulnerability risk and threat posture and prioritization based on business criticality for each asset.
• The LogRhythm Platform can provide better prioritization, real-time asset context and risk posture customized for client environments with the goal of empowering security teams to accelerate attack remediation efforts.

The Frontline.Cloud and LogRhythm integration is currently in use by Avertium, a managed security and consulting provider that delivers secure, comprehensive digital solutions, including extended detection and response (XDR).

“The bedrock of Avertium’s approach to XDR is rigorous execution orchestrated through tightly integrating the core technologies a modern security operations center thrives on,” said Paul Caiazzo, SVP of security and compliance at Avertium. “The collaboration between Digital Defense and LogRhythm is a force multiplier that widens visibility, expands scale and accelerates our mission to protect Avertium’s customers worldwide.”

About SGS

SGS is the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company. SGS is recognized as the global benchmark for quality and integrity. With more than 89,000 employees, SGS operates a network of over 2,600 offices and laboratories around the world.

SGS is advising companies operating in California, USA, to stay informed on settlement agreements being made in relation to a variety of substances under California Proposition 65 (Prop 65).

Settle agreements exist between two parties and are not legally binding on businesses not named within the settlement. However, it is advisable for companies operating in California to use them as a guide to avoid future legal problems.

Settlement agreements involve a variety of consumer products and the substances:

• Lead and its compounds
• Phthalates:
  1. Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP)
  2. Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP)
  3. Di-n-hexyl phthalate (DnHP)
  4. Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)
  5. Di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP)
  6. Diisononyl phthalate (DINP)

There have also been several settlement agreements covering only the phthalates DINP and DEHP.

Consumer products covered in these settlement agreements include:

• Phthalates (various):
  1. Beauty accessories made with vinyl components
  2. Car mounts with suction cup
  3. PVC air hose
• Lead and its compounds:
  1. Brass products – mailboxes, hose repair menders, musical mouthpieces
  2. Diving weights
  3. Handheld luggage with PVC handgrips
• DINP (only):
  1. Boarding pass holders
  2. Circular knitting needles
  3. Watch bands
• DEHP (only):
  1. Blenders
  2. Life vests
  3. Pet raincoats

The variety of consumer products included in these settlement agreements demonstrates how vigilant manufacturers and suppliers operating in California must remain.

Prop 65, or the ‘Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986’, is a unique piece of legislation passed in November 1986. It requires the state to maintain a list of chemicals (Prop 65 List) known to cause cancer, birth defects and/or reproductive harm. Unless exempted, businesses operating in California must provide ‘a clear and reasonable warning’ (Prop 65 Warning) before knowingly and intentionally exposing anyone to a substance on the Prop 65 List, which now contains around 900 chemicals. Companies have twelve months to comply with this requirement once a substance is included in the Prop 65 List.

Businesses wishing to learn more about Prop 65 settlement agreements, including lists of some of the the consumer products involved, should view SGS SafeGuards:

• 003/21 California Proposition 65: Reformulation of Lead in Consumer Products 
• 004/21 California Proposition 65: Reformulation of DINP in Consumer Products
