Yapstone, Inc. Selects Awake Security for Advanced Network Detection and Response

Awake Monitors Yapstone’s Attack Surface and Puts Relevant Threat Intelligence at Security Analysts’ Fingertips to Reduce Response Time

Awake Security, the only advanced network traffic analysis (NTA) company that delivers a privacy-aware solution, announced that Yapstone, Inc. has selected the Awake Security Platform to globally monitor its attack surface for known and unknown threats while maintaining compliance with strict data regulations, including GDPR and PCI. Cybersecurity compliance is a vital component of any organization’s security program, but even more-so for those in the highly-regulated financial industry, such as Yapstone.

“We are constantly seeing attackers evade detection by blending in with regular business-justified activity”

“At Yapstone, we believe payment functionality should never be a compromise,” said Rich Noguera, CISO, Yapstone. “We rapidly innovate to ensure fast, smooth and secure payment transactions for our clients and needed a solution that would enable full visibility into our ever-changing network. The Awake Security Platform has exceeded our expectations and empowered us to secure our connected workplace more effectively and autonomously than ever. The fact that Awake connects seamlessly with the rest of our security toolset was another great selling point, and means our security team has an integrated stack to work with and can respond to threats more efficiently.”

Awake was selected to replace a legacy NetFlow based solution that provided basic security analytics but struggled to deliver comprehensive network and threat visibility when compared to a deep network analysis approach.
