DirectDefense, an information security services company that provides enterprise risk assessments, penetration testing, compliance management, and 24/7 managed services, announced the launch of the Enterprise Security Program Review (ESPR), a joint security offering with IronNet, Unlimited Technology and Exero.

The ESPR will assess, test, and review an organization’s existing security controls, analyze risk exposure, and help implement individually-tailored security solutions. Applying a holistic approach to cybersecurity, this offering addresses cyber risks missed by single-solution providers. ESPR is the only comprehensive solution to support both large and small enterprise customers, ensuring the installation, modification and operation of a successful cybersecurity defense platform.

• DirectDefense will conduct the information security assessment of the client infrastructure and test the effectiveness of security controls and existing tools. Utilizing the ThreatAdvisor risk management platform, DirectDefense offers an unparalleled detailed strategic roadmap and remediation guidance plan to address findings from the assessment process. As a managed security service provider (MSSP), DirectDefense will also offer managed security services for IronNet.

• IronNet’s Collective Defense platform provides behavior-based analytics at the network level that detect anomalous activity at individual enterprises — then allows organizations of all sizes to share threat data anonymously, at network speed, to increase visibility into incoming cyber attacks. Collective Defense allows customers to leverage a wider pool of cybersecurity expertise, threat intelligence, and higher-order behavioral analysis.

• Exero provides health-based monitoring for all endpoint devices in a customer’s network. This increased visibility to endpoints helps visualize trends and patterns regarding the endpoint behavior of a network in real time. Exero offers an API for automation in the kill chain tied directly to malicious threats identified by IronNet’s artificial intelligence.

• Unlimited Technology provides the procurement of services and technology, manages the rollout, provides additional staffing where required, and delivers physical and logical infrastructure upgrades.
